Rock band The Flaming Lips have announced they will be dropping Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots: 20th Anniversary Edition which will include 50 released tracks. Also the five LP/six CD collection will feature the band’s landmark 2022 album along with EPs, b sides, demos, radio sessions, live recordings and many more. The 6 CD box set (featuring 100 tracks) will be available  on Nov. 25 to mark the 20th anniversary year. But the release of the five LP package (featuring 56 tracks) will be on April 14 2023  and the reason why the vinyl issue will be released later is due to the long vinyl production timeline.

Also there will be a limited edition D2C exclusive edition of the 20th Anniversary Deluxe 5 LP Vinyl box set pressed on Baby Pink vinyl which will released on April 14. In 2023 all the material released in the 6 CD box set will also make its way to vinyl. The two live albums included in the set, and the 25-minute demo “Psychedelic Hypnotist Daydream” will be available as separate vinyl releases. Additionally, the Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell and Fight Test EPs will be released on vinyl for the first time in Spring 2023.
