The Flaming Lips: Heady Nuggs: Clouds Taste Metallic 20 Years Later (2015)

Untitled
This 5 LP box set comes in two flavours. One is a numbered limited edition on black vinyl. The other is a numbered limited edition on coloured vinyl. I have no idea how many copies were made of each. The coloured version will cost you more, and that's the one I have, even though I usually prefer black vinyl.

The box contains:

Clouds Taste Metallic, which was the seventh full-length release from the band, originally released in 1995. In this box, it's presented on orange vinyl.

Due To High Expectations… The Flaming Lips Are Providing Needles For Your Balloons, which was an EP from 1994. It's issued here on pink vinyl.

The third item is a double LP entitled: Psychiatric Exploration Of The Fetus With Needles (Live In Seattle 1996). It's pressed on maroon vinyl.

Finally, the last LP is called The King Bug Laugh, which is a collection of rarities on green vinyl.

1500 copies contain an autograph from Wayne Coyne. I do not think that there was any way to determine if you had an autographed copy until you opened the package. As it turns out, the enclosed copy of Clouds Taste Metallic in my box does have his autograph!

There is no download card, despite what I have heard. If you are an obsessive, you will already have this or maybe the CD version.
