Talk:Ralph Records

Location of Ralph Records

I have found absolutely no verification that the Residents ever had a studio at either 20 Sycamore St or 18 Sycamore St in San Francisco. In fact, this article is the only place I've seen it. None of the Residents album covers and Ralph Records promotional material that I have ever seen ever listed Ralph Records' location as anything other than 444 Grove St in San Francisco. I know this address is/was the real location of Ralph because I have been there and seen the inside myself. I visited there for reasons I need not go into around two months before the Kabuki Theater Mole Shows - which puts it around August of 1982 - in order to volunteer my services. I was greeted at the door by a man whom - by his voice - I immediately recognized as the lead singer (though I had no idea what his name might have been at the time). I only went in as far as the entryway - where piles of records and a desk were located - though you could see into a grand entryway which looked very much to me like the location where the stop-action portion of the "Third Reich" video was filmed (although at the time, it was shrouded in a gigantic faux spider web - complete with gigantic faux spider - possibly the backdrop for the "Moisture" video).

I suppose it is possible that the band could have had living quarters and/or studio space somewhere else besides 444 Grove, though personally I think it highly unlikely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Camperdude (talk • contribs) 00:50, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
