Santa Dog

Santa Dog

"Santa Dog" was the first official release from The Residents and Ralph Records. It was a double single released in December, 1972.

The single was packaged to look like a Christmas card from an insurance agency and was mailed to various recipients, including Frank Zappa and Richard Nixon. The remaining copies were sold through Ralph's mail order service. Although all four songs were performed by the Residents, they are attributed to different bands.

The covers were hand silkscreened. However, the ink on most copies did not fully dry before the singles were packaged, leading to a situation where most of the covers were destroyed upon opening.

The songs from the single have appeared as bonus tracks on the 1988 CD release of "Meet the Residents" and on the limited edition "Refused (Santa Dog 99)", which also includes a number of different versions of the first track, "Fire".
