The Residents: Not Available version on vinyl LP in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Netherlands in publishing company Torso on 30. September 1988.

"The Residents: Not Available" is an experimental album released in 1978 by the avant-garde music group The Residents. The album is notable for its unique concept, which was based on the theory of obscurity; it was recorded with the intention of not being released until the band had forgotten about its existence, thereby making it a pure artistic expression free from the influence of audience expectation. The album features a mix of abstract sounds, unconventional structures, and narrative storytelling. Tracks such as "Part One: Edweena," "Part Two: The Making Of A Soul," "Part Three: Ship's A'Going Down," and "Part Four: Never Known Questions" suggest a thematic progression throughout the album. Other tracks like "Epilogue" and "Untitled" contribute to its enigmatic aura. The tracklist also includes pieces like "Ship's A'Going Down," which appears in multiple variations, and "Mourning Glories." Additionally, titles such as "X Is For Extra :" and "Mehico Ron Devoo" indicate The Residents' penchant for cryptic and whimsical content. The album's title itself, "Not Available," reflects its initial concept of inaccessibility.

Album spans genres Electronic and Experimental.
