The New Wave Collection

The New Wave Collection is a series of albums released in Israel by Phonokol Records. Both albums in the series feature the single edit of The Residents' Kaw-Liga. The series marks the first Residents content to be released in Israel. They were likely both released concurrently in August of 1989, just prior to The Residents' debut show there on November 9th.
