Notes From Ralph

I'm not doing anything for it. In general, the whole show has got the whole place consumed right now, so we can't put much involvement into anything else. I know that The Residents have got several ideas. They have direction in terms of where they want to go with it. But at the same time, they know that they're going to be going through so many changes in terms of the show that, to some extent, they're leaving it open-ended, and are even contemplating trying to work a little bit of some of their ideas into the end of the show. They're thinking of using that as a trial ground. If the ideas work out satisfactorily there, then they're planning immediately after the tour around the end of this year to go into the studio and start recording on the trilogy.

- Homer Flynn, JJJ Interview, 1982

The recording hasn't started, but the schematics, so to speak, are being laid out, and it is not very commercial at all, and I don't know exactly what the problem with that is. We've talked with The Residents about it. We realize that it's the third part of a trilogy. [\So], we can't make them turn around and do something else. By the way it looks now, it will probably be the most radical record they've ever recorded.

This one will tread over [their earlier albums] pretty heavily. It's going to trod over a lot of other people too.

- Hardy Fox, JJJ Interview, 1982

They felt that they were being forced out of the underground, just like the moles. The trilogy can't be complete until they see how they get along in the land of the chubs.
