In Stores This Week: The Flaming Lips

Hey, do you hear that? It sounds almost like something…rolling. Yes, in fact, that’s definitely what it is. But is it the roll that the Flaming Lips are on, or is it Rhino rolling out the latest vinyl reissues from the Flaming Lips’ back catalog?

You know what? Let’s say it’s both.

Thus far this year, Rhino has released and reissued a wide variety of items from the band’s back catalog, including…

• SCRATCHING THE DOOR: THE FIRST RECORDINGS OF THE FLAMING LIPS, a single-disc compilation of music recorded by the band’s original lineup
• SEEING THE UNSEEABLE: THE COMPLETE STUDIO RECORDINGS OF THE FLAMING LIPS 1986-1990, a 6-CD box set that includes their four Restless Records studio albums, plus two discs of rarities
• GREATEST HITS, VOL. 1, the band's first official "hits" collection, with eleven Warner Brothers-era singles and album cuts on a single LP pressing, along with deluxe digital and 3-CD editions which feature 52 tracks
• Vinyl reissues of HEAR IT IS, OH MY GAWD!!!...THE FLAMING LIPS, and TELEPATHIC SURGERY

And now it’s time for the latest two vinyl reissues: IN A PRIEST DRIVEN AMBULANCE (WITH SILVER SUNSHINE STARES) and the double-LP rarities collection, DEATH TRIPPIN' AT SUNRISE.

Here’s the track listings for those LPs, both of which will be available tomorrow:
