Ralph Video

Ralph Video is a VHS released by Ralph Records in early 1983, during a period of financial instability for the label. The video collects the label's short films and music videos up to 1981, featuring Tuxedomoon, MX-80 Sound, The Residents, Snakefinger and Renaldo & The Loaf. It was the first home release of these short films.
The first edition features a black and white "classic eyeball" graphic. The video was reissued in 1984 with color cover art and a printed label, and retitled Ralph Video Volume I. Both editions of the video are in NTSC format.
Despite the subtitle of the 1984 edition, a second volume never eventuated, however an expanded collection of The Residents' short films (as well as "Songs for Swinging Larvae" by Renaldo & The Loaf) was featured on the group's retrospective VHS collection Video Voodoo Volume I in 1987.
