Description:
The Flaming Lips' "Companion Disc", produced to promote "THE SOFT BULLETIN", an essential work in the history of The Flaming Lips, has been resurrected after more than 20 years! This fan-favorite disc, featuring previously unreleased tracks, outtakes, early mixes, single B-sides and more, is back on CD following its Record Store Day limited edition analog release! The Flaming Lips are a cult icon of our time, constantly innovating with their euphoric, cathartic performances and genre-bending, experimental, avant-garde approach. Since their debut album "Here It Is" in 1986, the Flaming Lips have continued to express their genre-defying worldview through their sound, from rock to alternative, psychedelic to space pop, and released four albums on Restless Records by 1990, followed by their 1992 release on Warner Bros. In 1992, they signed with Warner Bros. Records.In 1993, his second album after joining Warner Bros, "TRANSMISSIONS FROM THE SATELLITE HEART," reached No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, and he went on to appear on popular American TV shows such as Beverly Hills High School White Paper and Beavis and Butthead, They have also appeared on popular American TV shows such as Beverly Hills High School White Paper, Beavis and Butthead, and Late Night with David Letterman, and have released experimental works such as ZAIREEKA, a multi-playback work that is completed by playing four CD players simultaneously. Their breakthrough album, "THE SOFT BULLETIN," released in the summer of 1999, was the first to spread their musical gospel throughout the mainstream. THE SOFT BULLETIN is an essential piece of the Flaming Lips' history. This "Companion Disc" was produced to promote the album. Originally distributed to the media and radio stations, this promotional disc, which included unreleased songs, outtakes, early mixes, and single B-sides, was the envy of fans for many years. In 2021, the "Companion Disc" was reissued as a two-disc silver analog, a Record Store Day limited edition.Following its analog release, the album is now being reissued in its original form as a CD. The "Companion Disc" of "THE SOFT BULLETIN," which produced such classic songs as "Race For The Prize" and "Waitin' For A Superman," includes songs that were unreleased or not included on the album when it was released, as well as outtakes, early mixes, bonus tracks used outside of the U.S., and songs that were previously unreleased. The "Companion Disc" of "THE SOFT BULLETIN" contains songs that were previously unreleased or not included on the album, outtakes, early mixes, bonus tracks used outside the U.S., and stereo versions of songs from "ZAIREEKA", the previous album of "THE SOFT BULLETIN". The Flaming Lips' "missing link" in their history, this companion disc is back again, 20 years after its release!
