continued over three weeks, with The Residents' usual equipment being in transit from their Leicestershire Mole Show performance in July. They used a Yamaha Keyboard, a 'Resitar' electric guitar, a drum machine and a violin, used by Snakefinger on the track 'Africa Tree' The album, titled 'Title In Limbo', was released in November 1983. The Elbow Is Taboo (1984 - 1987) Title In Limbo had made more money than any of their previous projects and gave the duo the budget they needed improve their recording set up. Brian Poole created a home studio which, unlike Janssen's bedroom, featured full mixing equipment. Poole felt this somewhat stifled his creative input, now that he was no longer able to record whenever he felt like.

The album was inspired partly by French band Ptôse, who's song 'Boule' was covered by the duo. In 1987 they recorded a cover version of 'Haul on the Bowline' for the
