The album was the band’s breakthrough moment and featured the hit singles “Race for the Prize” and “Waitin’ for a Superman.” The album will be released digitally and on CD on 29th November with vinyl coming later via Bella Union in the UK/Europe and Warner Bros in the rest of the world. Pressed on double silver vinyl, this exclusive 2 LP edition set is limited to just 16,000.
The Flaming Lips will finally release The Soft Bulletin Companionon vinyl for the first time as part of the Record Store Day drop.
Now, the resulting live recording is being released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Soft Bulletin. Equally exciting for Lips fans is the unearthing one of the rarest and most sought-after gems in their legendary catalog. The performance was conducted by the internationally celebrated conductor Andre De Ridder. The Flaming Lips performed the 12-track album in its original sequence with new arrangements accompanied by a 69-piece orchestra and 56-strong chorus. For the Lips and their fans, perhaps the apex of a magnificent interpretation that will remain as rewarding and emotionally-charged as it was that night in 2016. This particular event has been regarded by those in attendance as one of the most awe-inspiring, moving and magical moments of a lifetime. Of course these things don’t just happen, it was the culmination of 30 years of hard work and dedication to their craft that got them there. On 26th May 2016, The Flaming Lips performed their universally acclaimed 1999 album The Soft Bulletin in its entirety with the Colorado Symphony at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. In the halcyon days of legal weed (in this case May 2016), The Flaming Lips found themselves fronting the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at Red Rocks to perform The Soft Bulletin in its entirety.
