The Flaming Lips – The Soft Bulletin
 
Originally released in 1999, The Soft Bulletin marked a creative high point for The Flaming Lips and remains one of the most celebrated alternative rock albums of its era.
 
Blending psychedelic experimentation, sweeping orchestral arrangements and Wayne Coyne’s vulnerable songwriting, the album turns themes of love, loss and human fragility into something wonderfully strange and deeply moving.
 
Featuring standout tracks such as “Race for the Prize,” “Waitin’ for a Superman” and “Feeling Yourself Disintegrate,” The Soft Bulletin is often described as the album on which The Flaming Lips transformed their eccentric psychedelic sound into something truly grand and emotionally resonant.
 
This highly collectible Vinyl Me, Please Essentials edition was released in the US in 2019 as a remastered double LP pressed on beautiful Mustard Yellow vinyl.
 
The presentation includes lenticular cover artwork, an exclusive art print designed by Wayne Coyne, custom inner sleeves and a distinctive obi strip featuring a cocktail recipe.
 
The vinyl uses the acclaimed 2011 remaster by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, with lacquers cut by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound. A visually striking and carefully produced edition of a modern psychedelic classic—and a superb addition to any serious vinyl collection.
