The Residents released DUCK STAB! as a seven inch EP in 1978. For the group, the EP represented a break from the much more experimental Eskimo recordings which consumed the majority of a four year period from 1975 79.
To everyones surprise, the EP was a hit, selling 50,000 copies in a few months.The demand was so high, that Ralph, the groups label, insisted the band to record a second EP, Buster & Glen, which they paired with DUCK STAB! to make an LP, which was also quite successful.
In order to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the legendary alternative TV show Night Flight, The Residents created a program based on a live version of DUCK STAB!, which the band was already rehearsing as part of their upcoming 50th Anniversary Tour DOG STAB!DUCK STAB! ALIVE! was recorded live in the studio over three days from May 19 21, 2021 at the 25th Street Studio in Oakland, CA.
