Endless Residency is a live box set by The Melvins, culled from the band's Spaceland Residency in January 2011, where the band performed the entirities of Bullhead, Lysol, Eggnog, Houdini and Stoner Witch over four weekends, with special opening sets and other oddities. The box set was initially curated for the Melvins 2011 Residency North American Tour, with a vinyl edition to follow and a cheap digital edition for non-collectors.[1]
Endless Residency was originally released as a four CD set in letterpress sleeves designed and printed by Mackie Osborne, contained in a cardboard band depicting each location they were sold. Hand-numbered edition of 50 per location (eight locations in total):
- Seattle - May 13 & 14, 2011
- San Francisco - May 16 & 17, 2011
- Austin - May 27 & 28, 2011
- Chicago - May 31 & June 1, 2011
- Boston - June 3 & 4, 2011
- New York - June 6 & 7, 2011
- Minneapolis - June 13 & 14, 2011

On 2 September 2011, Austrian label Rock Is Hell would released Endless Residency as an 8LP vinyl set, with silkscreened gatefold sleeves housed in a silkscreened box. A total of 520 copies would be made (470 Black, 50 Orange). On 2 December 2011 Amphetamine Reptile Records would release an LP box set in an edition of 100 on red vinyl with silkscreened gatefold sleeves housed in a handmade carved wooden box.
Over time Endless Residency has proven to be one of the rarest Melvins releases, the vinyl version having been sold on Discogs for hundreds.[2][3][4][5]
