from discogs.com
Notes:"Not Available" was not meant to be released.
This album was not released until the band themselves had forgotten completely about its existence in 1978.
The first pressing (5000 copies) suffered from an audible blemish in the recording on side two during "Ship's A' Going Down", and most of these records were recalled and destroyed.There are, however, several hundred copies still in existence;they are identified by purple record labels and the matrix 1174 B Re 1 on side two. Second pressings (which have orange labels - 10,000 copies) and later (wich have green record labels) have the matrix 1174 B Re 3 and do not suffer this pressing defect.

from Wikipedia:
The Residents' album Not Available was originally recorded as a follow-up to 1974's Meet the Residents. However, following the Theory of Obscurity, it was immediately locked away in a bank vault with no plans to issue it until the members of the band had completely forgotten about its existence. It did surface in 1978 due to continued delays on the Eskimo album and the Cryptic Corporation's desire to have some sort of Residents release, as the re-release of the single "Satisfaction" the same year had garnered some attention in Europe. The album itself is a dense concept album featuring a more musical and cohesive approach than that found on most Residents albums from the '70s.
