God In 3 Persons (live album)

God In 3 Persons is a double live album by The Residents, featuring recordings from the group's January 2020 premiere of the stage adaptation of their album of the same same at the Museum of Modern Art. 
It is the first physical release featuring The Residents' new orchestration of God In Three Persons, arranged with Joshua Raoul Brody. The album was released to Indiegogo campaign contributors on September 3rd 2020. History
In 1988, The Residents released God In Three Persons, their first album designed specifically for the compact disc format. It features a continuous, spoken-word narrative centred around a disgraced preacher named Mr X, who discovers a pair of conjoined twins of fluid gender who have miraculous abilities. 
Following the release of the album, the group began to conceive a stage adaptation, even composing an overture for the potential show, but ultimately shelved the idea in favor of what eventually became their 1989 tour Cube-E.
The Residents would not revisit the idea until almost thirty years later, when they premiered a work-in-progress version in France in April 2019. These early shows debuted a new arrangement of God In Three Persons, which had been composed by the group with the assistance of their long-time collaborator Joshua Raoul Brody. 
Following this performance, the group enlisted director and video artist John Sanborn (a long-time collaborator) to help create the final version of the show and funding the project through an Indiegogo campaign launched in October 2019.
Among other perks offered to supporters of the campaign (which included masks and props from the show) was a live recording of the performance on CD and/or vinyl. The limited edition album was released exclusively to campaign supporters on September 3rd 2020.
