"Consuelo's Departure" is an instrumental by The Residents from their debut album Meet The Residents, released April 1st 1974.

History[]

Originally released in mono, Meet The Residents was remixed into stereo in 1977 by The Cryptic Corporation; the stereo mix of "Consuelo's Departure" is almost a minute shorter than the original mono version.

Another version of the track, "Consuela's Return", is found on the 2018 pREServed edition of Meet The Residents. It is implied to be taken from the 1973 album sessions, however it is not found in any other collections of material from that era, and is rumored by fans to have been recorded much later.
