Ralph Records

Ralph Records was an American independent record label active between 1972 and 1989, best known for being initially run by avant-garde art collective the Residents. The name arose from the slang phrase for vomiting "calling Ralph on the porcelain telephone". Ralph was founded in 1972, shortly after the Residents had moved to San Francisco, when they realized that it was the only entity willing to publish their work. They "unincorporated" themselves as the Residents Uninc.
