The Residents offer $100,000 box set to fans who are looking to mortgage their house

Do you have $100,000 handy? Do you really, and I mean really like The Residents? If yes, then there’s good news, as The Residents are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their first release: the 1972 “Santa Dog” 7-inch, with a 100+ piece box set.

The package is set to include first pressings of over 40 LPs, 50 CDs, a few dozen 7-inch singles, EPs, CD-ROMs, DVDs, and videos, as well as a bobble-head doll and a genuine Residents eyeball mask. Oh, and did I mention it’s all packaged in a fully functional 28 cu. ft. refrigerator? No? Well, it is.

In the infomercial below, you can see Residents “front man” “Randy” dish out the details in a rather convincing sales pitch. If you answered “no” to my opening question, “Randy” suggests selling a kidney, smashing open some penny jars, or having a bake sale to get the scratch for the set, as this is a limited time offer, there are only 10 of these sets available, and the set is going on sale on their website December 25.

In addition to that, there is also a one-of-a-kind mystery box also set to go on sale this Christmas. What’s in the box? “Randy” isn’t saying, so you better find $5 mill quick.

If you can’t afford either of these sets and are unwilling to take out a second mortgage on your house but need a Residents fix, they’ll be on tour in January so keep your eyes peeled for upcoming dates.
