RARE "Eskimo Is Coming" Promotional T-shirt from 1978
A very rare, never worn promotional t-shirt that was used to promote the coming of The Residents’ landmark album , “Eskimo”. This one is size Large. The shirt was printed in 1977 and sent out as part of the pre-release promo that intentionally announced the album's release then pulled it after The Residents "stole" the master tapes. The interesting thing about the design is that the logo is square; this was the original design before it was changed to round for the actual release. I don't think it's ever been offered for sale - at least not for over 40 years.
Only one of these is currently being offered for sale. It comes with a certificate of authenticity that indicates that this copy comes from the official Residents and Cryptic Corporation Archives. The Certificate has been signed by The Residents and Homer Flynn (President of the Cryptic Corp).
