Everything You Always Wanted to Know About R. Stevie Moore But Were Afraid to Ask is a double 12" vinyl record album by DIY home recording pioneer and one-man band R. Stevie Moore. The 36-track 2-LP set was issued by New Rose Records of Paris, France in March 1984. It contains Moore's songs and sound experiments from Nashville TN and Montclair NJ sessions, all primarily recorded on 1/4 track 7½ ips reel-to-reel stereo tape decks.
Its title in French is "TOUT CE QUE VOUS AVEZ TOUJOURS VOULU SAVOIR SUR R. STEVIE MOORE ET QUE VOUS N'AVEZ JAMAIS OSER DEMANDER".
Long out of print and never reissued on compact disc, it was reconstructed from original song master tapes for improved fidelity by the artist in 2002. The original vinyl issue had suffered in audio quality from improperly mastered compilation tapes and also by the process of squeezing so much material on each side of the records.
Everything... was the first of four New Rose RSM albums to be released through the 1980s.
The name of the album is a homage to the 1972 movie Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask).
