WB:RMX is a remix album by The Residents, released in 2004. The album is a heavily altered remix of a 1971 demo tape that the band attempted to use to get signed to Warner Bros. Records.

The Residents originally got their name when the anonymous demo tape they recorded in 1971 (later called The Warner Bros. Album) was rejected by its recipient, Hal Halverstadt, the record executive who had signed Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band to Warner Bros. Records. It was returned addressed to "Residents, 20 Sycamore St." with a note awarding them an "A for Ariginality".

The demo was never heard by the public until it was played on a Portland, Oregon radio show in 1977. The group had been reluctant to truly release the demo due to recording quality and the fact that their sound had improved between that demo and their official first full-length LP, Meet the Residents. Upon learning that the demo tapes were being circulated via file sharing, the group remixed the original demo recordings and released them under the title. WB:RMX, though only less than half of the tracks from the original demo were included.

On Record Store Day 2018, the full demo was given its first official release as part of The Residents' pREServed remaster campaign.[1]
