This release is part of an ambitious archival project by The Flaming Lips that also includes a six- CD box set featuring their work with Restless Records called Seeing The Unseeable: The Complete Studio Recordings Of The Flaming Lips 1986-1990 and an extensive three disc greatest hits record simply called Greatest Hits, Vol. 1.

Here we see The Flaming Lips unearthing a collection of tracks from their garage rock beginnings sung by current lead singer, Wayne Coyne’s, brother Mark. This collection includes some tight little punk rock songs, a few fun covers, and more than a few homages to the early English psychedelic scene filtered through a garage rock lens. It’s a far cry from today’s Flaming Lips and current fans may be interested to go back and listen to the evolution after hearing this compilation. Favourite track: ‘Killer on the Radio’.
