Fingerprince is an album by The Residents. The album was recorded 1974-76 and released in 1976. It was intended to be a three-sided record named Tourniquet Of Roses. Due to expense, the project was abandoned and cut down to a regular two-sided album. The third side was originally released separately in 1979 as Babyfingers. For the CD release of Fingerprince, all of the songs from Babyfingers which were originally supposed to be part of the album were included in their original running order.
