Flaming Lips je americká psychedelicko-rocková skupina založená v roku 1983 v Oklahoma City. Kapela si počas svojej kariéry vybudovala kultový status vďaka experimentálnemu prístupu k rocku a nekonvenčnej tvorbe.
Album Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robot, vydaný v roku 2002, patrí k najvýznamnejším deskám kapely. Pri príležitosti dvadsiateho výročia vyšla luxusná jubilejná edícia na šiestich vinylových deskách, ktorá prináša originálny album doplnený o rozsiahly bonusový materiál: demoverzie piesní, rarity, ktoré sa na pôvodný album nedostali, živé nahrávky z rozhlasových vystúpení (WXRT, CD101, BBC Radio 1, KCRW, KEXP) a remixové verzie. Medzi zaujímavosťami nájdete japonskú verziu titulnej skladby, cover „Seven Nation Army“ alebo „White Christmas“. Zberateľské LP vydanie ponúka kompletný pohľad na proces vzniku tejto kľúčovej dosky alternatívneho rocku.
