Vileness Fats was intended to be The Residents musical masterwork film. Starting in 1972 and shot over four years the project was eventually abandoned without being completed.

Also no music was written. Years later a video collection of scenes titled, "Whatever Happened to Vileness Fats?" surfaced.

The Residents had scored the scenes for the video. This is that recording. Also on this disc is the complete soundtrack from the film, "The Census Taker." The Residents scored this low budget indie in 1985.

The full album has not been previously released on CD.
