5.0 out of 5 stars a great compilation of their early works, 19 Sep 2002
the flaming lips are one of the worlds greatest bands. but i am not going to pretend that their early offerings are anywhere near as good as the genius of yoshimi..., the soft bulletin, clouds..., transmissions..., or even hit to death..., but its still worth a listen. and thankfully some clever so-and-so has put it all on one 3-disc compilation. if nothing else, at least this saves money for newer fans looking to buy out the lips' back catalogue.

just don't be expecting another soft bulletin...

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally the flaming lips have released a box set [BOX SET], 24 Sep 2002
for any hardcore flaming lips fan this really is an album you cant live without, seriously. The album takes you on a magical journey from the very begining of the flaming lips up until 1988 where you have to buy the next CD (the day we shot a hole in the jesus egg). This boxset not only contains the original album material but also outakes, demo's, remixes and comments from the flaming lips. Even if you own the original albums i still would definatly suggest buying this. for all you new flips fans, these albums are nothing like "yoshimi battles the pink robots" which is amazing, so if your expecting dance music, think again this is rock at its best !!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome acid rock (or something), 13 July 2003
By A Customer
WOW. This box set is fantastic. I bought it after being introduced to The Flaming Lips through Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots (latest masterpiece) and boy was I surprised. It's like nothing I've ever heard before and very very different from the chilled out music on Yoshimi. I sat down for over 3 hours straight and listened right through. Songs like With You, My Own Planet and the snappily titled Jesus Shootin' Heroine are works of genius, but they aren't stand out tracks. There is no such thing as a stand out track where these guys are concerned, since 1980, so it seems, they haven't got an average song to their name. They're consistently original and no two songs sound alike. The greatest band of our time.
