Studio album by The Residents

Recorded	1976
Genre	Rock

Babyfingers was a release by the avant garde/experimental rock band The Residents, containing music recorded for their 1976 release, "Fingerprince". As Fingerprince was originally meant to be a three-sided album (a concept abandoned due to expense and Monty Python's Matching Tie and Handkerchief beating them to the punch), much of the material was abandoned. Thus, the group reduced the third side to an extended play record entitled '"Babyfingers'", and released it in 1979 to people who had been waiting for their copy of the The Third Reich and Roll box sets. A second printing was made for members of the W.E.I.R.D. fan club in 1980, and a last pressing, on pink vinyl, in 1981. For the most part, it has been incorporated into most CD versions of Fingerprince, beginning in 1988.
