Manufactured in the USA Jacket made in Canada Phillip Snakefinger Lithman 1949-1987 Snakefinger was set to add his usual astounding guitar licks to this project as soon as he returned from the European portion of touring with his band, The Vestal Virgins. Unfortunately, a fatal heart attack in Linz Austria prevented these planned guitar tracks from being recorded. Snakefinger's guitar can be heard on many of our recordings including: "Satisfaction", "The 13th Anniversary Show", and "Duck Stab". His loving friendship and guitar solos are greatly missed.

“Russian bootleg release. Edition of 500 copies. Packaged in a standard jewel case with black and white 4-page booklet. Release title appears on the disc as "The Presidents Presents God In Three Temporis Sensys". Notes from release: "GOD IN THREE PERSONS was written as a theatrical piece. As such, the musical background must at times assume a supportive role to prevent it from competing with the story. While this is consistent with the project concept, some excellent music is at times lost in the epic. Following the precedents set by the motion picture soundtrack and modern music marketing techniques, The Residents are pleased to release this Instrumental Excerpts version of GOD IN THREE PERSONS."”
