Flaming Lips je americká psychedelicko-rocková skupina založená v roce 1983 v Oklahoma City. Kapela si během své kariéry vybudovala kultovní status díky experimentálnímu přístupu k rocku a nekonvenční tvorbě.
Album Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robot, vydané v roce 2002, patří k nejvýznamnějším deskám kapely. K příležitosti dvacátého výročí vyšla luxusní jubilejní edice na šesti vinylových deskách, která přináší originální album doplněné o rozsáhlý bonusový materiál: demoverze písní, rarity, které se na původní album nedostaly, živé nahrávky z rozhlasových vystoupení (WXRT, CD101, BBC Radio 1, KCRW, KEXP) a remixové verze. Mezi zajímavostmi najdete japonskou verzi titulní skladby, cover „Seven Nation Army“ nebo „White Christmas“. Sběratelské LP vydání nabízí kompletní pohled na proces vzniku této klíčové desky alternativního rocku.
