"The Commercial Single" was released to promote The Commercial Album by the Residents. It was released in the United Kingdom and France and, despite being called a single, included eight songs: six songs from the album and two (unlisted) bonus tracks, all clocking in at one minute.
Despite its title and running time, this release would more traditionally be considered an EP.
Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or single:
“Electronic aids, particularly domestic computers, will help the inner migration, the opting out of reality. Reality is no longer going to be the stuff out there, but the stuff inside your head. It’s going to be commercial and nasty at the same time.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“It’s impossible for someone who is human to have all good things together, just as there is no single country able to provide all good things for itself.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
