Duck Stab! / Buster & Glen (later known as just Duck Stab!) is the fifth studio album by AvantGardeMusic band Music/TheResidents. It was meant to be released in two parts, hence the name. The first part, ''Duck Stab!'' was released on a 7" record, and the actual music aside, the record sounded about as well as sixteen minutes of audio does on a format meant for six. Thus, the band rereleased it and the second part, ''Buster & Glen'', as two sides of an LP. Only one issue made since has released them as two EPs.

Duck Stab! / Buster & Glen (later known as just Duck Stab!) is the fifth studio album by AvantGardeMusic band Music/TheResidents. It was originally a seven song EP until they formed it with another EP which was unreleased called Buster & Glen, the reason why they combined these was that the sound quality in Duck Stab! was kinda poor, so they re-record it, release it as an album and put Buster & Glen as the B-Side.

In 2012 (the 35th anniversary of the original Duck Stab EP), The Resident's made an alternate version album of the album called D*ck S*ab.
