Freak Show Instrumental Tracks & Outtakes

PLEASE GO AWAY! This is an unofficial release, and has not been approved by The Residents or The Cryptic Corporation. THEY HATE IT!!!

Freak Show Instrumental Tracks & Outtakes is an unofficial bootleg containing unreleased material related to The Residents' 18th studio album, Freak Show. It not only contains instrumental versions of tracks which eventually ended up on Freak Show, but also unused segments from Jim Ludtke's unrealised Freak Show DVD.

As with the other Instrumental Tracks bootlegs, this material was originally leaked by Big Brother in his winter 2008-9 live streams. These streams were (unknowingly to BB) recorded by fans, and collections of material relating to the same albums began circulating in early 2010.

An alternate version of this collection titled Alternative Freak Show Instrumentals (which also contains three instrumentals from The Voice of Midnight) began circulating as a CD-R in 2014, apparently originating from Germany.
