Ralph Records

Ralph Records was an independent record label founded in 1978 by the avant-garde band The residents. It specialized in releasing experimental music, underground and alternative art projects, often with a provocative or surreal style. The label became known for its distinctive packaging, creative branding, and supporting unconventional artists. Operating primarily as a niche, Ralph Records played a key role in promoting innovative and boundary-pushing works outside mainstream music. It remained active until the early 2000s, leaving behind a legacy of unique art and experimental sound recordings that continue to influence underground art scenes.
