There is, in fact, only three parts to the Mole Trilogy: MARK OF THE MOLE, THE TUNES OF TWO CITIES, and THE BIG BUBBLE: PART FOUR OF THE MOLE TRILOGY. There never was a part three. Most of the albums between TTOTC and TBB had a note somewhere on the back cover to the effect that "the record you are now holding is not part three of the Mole Trilogy."

I, in fact, mentioned The Residents, but I was the only one.
