Leftovers Again?! AGAIN?! is a limited edition compilation album by The Residents, released on "highly unusual" black vinyl on Record Store Day, April 20th 2024, by Cherry Red Records, MVD Audio and New Ralph Too.
The album, a follow-up to the 2021 Record Store Day release Leftovers Again?!, contains previously unreleased studio outtakes, supposedly sourced from a lost "MOP" tape found in The Residents' archive in January 2023.
The outtakes date from the "The Residents Play The Beatles" sessions in 1977 to The Big Bubble sessions in 1985, featuring an entire side of unheard Mole Trilogy material, as well as previously unreleased versions of "Hello Skinny", "Semolina", "Santa Dog '78" and "Diskomo".
The album will be followed by a third and final installment in the "accidental" trilogy, titled Leftovers Again?! Again!?! (Again), expected for release on Record Store Day, April 2025.
