Anche Meet the Residents, l'amato album di esordio dei Nostri (uscì ufficialmente nel 1974, come pesce d'aprile), vede in questi giorni una riedizione in vinile estesa e ampliata per la serie pREServed, offrendo un terzo LP di materiali completamente inediti anche rispetto alla precedente versione in cd della medesima serie, incluso un lungo, informativo (e semiserio) parlato del compianto Hardy Fox. Tutti i particolari e i confronti tra le diverse edizioni sono illustrati al Meet The Residents Wiki.
A three LP reissue of Meet The Residents was announced November 5th 2022, as the first entry in a long-planned pREServed vinyl sub-series. The vinyl edition features both the pREServed remasters of both the mono and stereo mixes of the album, and a selection of outtakes on a third disc, including six previously unheard outtakes which were not included on the CD edition. Notable among the previously unheard material is "The Ralph Records Guided Tour", an audio tour of the Ralph Records headquarters by Hardy Fox, which was only recently re-discovered in The Cryptic Corporation archive. Early copies purchased direct from the Cherry Red website include a bonus, single-sided white label 7" containing the Meet The Residents Sampler (previously issued only once, on a flexidisc included with File Magazine in 1974).
