THE RESIDENTS PRESENT
THE ULTIMATE BOX SET

Launching the celebration of their 40th Anniversary, The Residents are proud to announce the soon to be released UBS - or ULTIMATE BOX SET. Packaged in a 28 cubic foot refrigerator containing releases spanning the group's entire career, the UBS holds well over 100 different products including 40 vinyl LPs, 50 CDs, and dozens of singles, EPs, DVDs, and CD-roms plus other releases. In addition to this vast array of music products,
each box set will also contain one of The Residents' signature eyeball-with-top-hat masks*.

While the UBS is priced well beyond the reach of most consumers, it should be noted that the intended market for the box set lies within the realm of fine art. Indeed, most people are unaware of The Residents' renown in the world of museums and art galleries, but considering their current installation at the Shanghai Bienalle, as well as their many exhibits at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC and performances at the Pompidou Center in Paris, Lincoln Center in NYC and the Chicago Institute of Contemporary Art among others, The Residents' reputation in the art world is undeniable. Only ten of these sets will be created and It is expected that most will be sold to various museums around the world, but serious collectors are also encouraged to inquire.
* Eyeball masks break down as follows:

4 original 1970's (Created for Eskimo cover)
4 recreations 1980's (Used in 25th Anniversary photographs)
3 1990's ("Performance" versions. Perforated for wearing on stage. Used for Wormwood tour)

DISCLAIMER:

Like all Residents' projects, The UBS (Ultimate Box Set) Infomercial represents both a real product and a work of art. The purpose of this document is to clearly state the contents and terms of the UBS sale so that no one feels the infomercial misrepresents the actual product.

+++++

1. The intent of The Residents and The Cryptic Corp is to deliver a pristine product/work of art, specifically a brand new 28 cubic foot refrigerator containing over 100 Residents' products as detailed in this document, to each buyer, but since each sale will create a different set of problems in regard to fulfillment, The Cryptic Corp will negotiate the terms of delivery with each buyer individually.

2. The costs of shipping, handling and insurance will be the responsibility of the buyer.

3. The contents of the UBS can also be purchased without a refrigerator for $99,000.

4. While the intent of the UBS is to deliver "one of everything" in regard to major Residents' releases, availability of titles is limited to the inventory in the Cryptic Corporation archives. The archives does not have everything, and does not have 10 copies of everything it does have. The archives may substitute items marked as "Promo only - Not for Sale" for standard commercial items. Since the contents of each UBS will vary to some extent, any substitutions will specified and negotiated with the buyer before the sale is complete.

5. The UBS contains first release product only. There are no rereleased versions and it contains only product from The Residents (no other Ralph Records artists are included.) Compilation releases may be excluded. There are no CD/DVDs that have been produced for markets outside of the USA, as On-Demand, or as download projects.

6. The phrase "includes an original eyeball mask" means that the mask contained in each UBS has been worn by The Residents. A total of 11 eyeball masks have been created at different times during The Residents' career. (The four "original" eyeballs were created in 1979; the three "photo" eyeballs (plus two skulls) were created 1n 1994; the four "performance" eyeballs were created in 1998. One performance eyeball has been sold.) Since these masks have been worn in many performances, photo sessions and public appearances, they exist in various stages of wear. None are in perfect condition. In addition there are 3 skull masks. All masks will be sold "as is". The Cryptic Corp will negotiate which mask accompanies each UBS on a first come first serve basis.

The sooner you purchase, the more complete the package.

7. The price of each UBS is $100,000. A 10% non-refundable deposit will hold your box set until time for delivery. Delivery date will be negotiated, but delivery will not happen before April, 2013. Purchase at your own risk.  Non-refundable.

8. This offer is good until June 30, 2013, or until the 5 Million Dollar object is sold.  The offering can be cancelled at any time by The Cryptic Corporation.

Note: The products shown in the refrigerator in the UBS Informercial do not necessarily represent the items that will be included in this sale.  (For example there are no Japanese releases or compilations as shown in the refrigerator.)
