The King & Eye(1989)OverviewTracks
The King & Eye is a studio version of the third part of the Cube-E show, featuring the music of Elvis Presley. The album, like the live performance, involves a aging Elvis impersonator telling the story of "The Baby King" to his two grandchildren, Shorty & Shirley (on the album, the two children are played by Jana Flynn and Simon Timony).
The Residents used an unusual (for them) approach when recording this album: they rented studio space at Different Fur Studios in San Francisco for a day, rather than use their own facilities, to see how such an environment would affect their work. The album's packaging was also handled differently: while Pore Know Graphics, the band's own in-house design group, did the actual cover art, the group hired Rex Ray, who was doing all of the UWEB artwork at the time, to do the packaging.
