The Flaming Lips

This six-CD box set contains all four of The Flaming Lips' Restless studio albums, originally issued between 1986 and 1990:  Hear It Is (1986), Oh My Gawd!!!...The Flaming Lips (1987), Telepathic Surgery (1989) and In A Priest Driven Ambulance (With Silver Sunshine Stares) (1990). Like the compilation, all of these have been remastered from the original master tapes.  Two discs of rarities collect up odds and ends from this period, including B-sides, flexidiscs, and one-offs from various compilations like the Sub Pop single "Strychnine/Peace, Love And Understanding" and a rendition of "After The Gold Rush" from a 1989 Neil Young tribute album.  Rounding out the box is The Mushroom Tapes, the demos for the band's final Restless LP.  These were previously issued on the Rykodisc compilation CD The Day They Shot A Hole In the Jesus Egg.
