ERA(2012)
OverviewTracks


Perhaps originally intended to be an ongoing series of microsites exploring various periods of the group's career, the ERA concept only produced one exhibition, ERA B474, which covered the years leading up to the formal creation of The Residents.

The mini-site consisted of short articles about the various projects (largely taken from this website's Historical section) and a collection of shopping links to purchase the compilation album as well as printed on demand t-shirts featuring artwork of the time.

The ERA store was open only for a month, though the site itself continued to exist for some time, however without the purchase links.

In 2013 a limited CD version of the mp3 compilation, Delta Nudes Greatest Hiss, was released by the Ralph Outlet. In 2016 Klanggalerie released the definitive version, The Residents Present The Delta Nudes, which collected all the material from the previous iterations as well as two bonus tracks.

When The Residents joined the Cherry Red family in 2016, they began working on a series of re-issues with archival material called pREServed, which can be considered to be a continuation of the ERA concept.
