Unreleased Tracks, B-Sides, Early Mixes & More On Double LP!
First Vinyl Pressing Of Rare Handmade Promo-Only Compilation!
Pressed On Limited Edition Silver Vinyl!

Following the success of The Flaming Lips breakthrough album The Soft Bulletin in 1999, there was a demand for outtakes and other related non-album tracks by fans of the band at radio and in the media. To satisfy this demand Scott Booker, the band's long-time manager, compiled a playlist and burned home-made CDs of rare and interesting tracks which were selectively distributed by Scott and Warner Records.

The 13-track compilation featured outtakes from The Soft Bulletin, including unreleased songs, single B-sides from around the world, alternate mixes and a cover version. It also notably included stereo versions of tracks from Zaireeka - the legendary 4-CD album preceding The Soft Bulletin that required 4 separate audio systems for playback so the consumer could experience the full album.

Originally released in 1999 as a promotional CD-R, this collection of alternate mixes and non-album tracks bridges the gap between the band's experimental hijinks and pop instincts.
-Stuart Berman, Pitchfork, Rated: 8.0
