Extra: Version is a song by The Residents & Renaldo & The Loaf. It was recorded entirely in 1983 in the overdub sessions for Title In Limbo.

Background[]

The track was recorded by The Residents & Brian Poole at Groove Street Studios in October 1983. Dave Janssen, who had co-written the song with the Poole & The Residents, could not attend the recording sessions in the US, so recorded tape loops in his home studio to be used. The final version of the song includes guitar playing from Snakefinger.

The track was released November 15th 1983 on the album 'Title In Limbo'

In 2017 Klanggalerie finally released the long awaited 4 daze tape. On this tape there are 45 minutes of demos that would become "Title In Limbo". The tape actually shows us that the song "Mel 2" is an early version of this song. It's worth noting that the motifs of this song appear after an early demo of "The Sailor Song". This likely explains why this song follows "The Sailor Song" and why it's the last track on the album.
