posted in: By GenresMusic NewsRock

the-Flaming-LipsLast week we brought you the news that Wayne Coyne would be embarking on a short Record Store Tour and promoting The Flaming Lips‘ early recordings, some of which would be handed off to record stores to sell in a life-sized handmade chocolate skulls. That was pretty cool, but this week, a 1983 recording of 2nd Cassette Demo was released”and we think that’s pretty awesome too.  Available on limited edition 7″ blue vinyl, it consists of four tracks, which have been remastered by drummer Kliph Scurlock, and freshened up with some new artwork by Coyne’s brother, Dennis.

A press release states that the demo captures the group in a transition from its primitive shambolic drug-damaged punk-pop to the primitive shambolic drug-damaged hallucinogenic cosmic brother death rock heard on the [The Flaming Lips1st EP. Check out the demo and track listing below.

Track list:
01. The Flaming Lips Theme Song 1983
02. The Future is Gone
03. Underground Pharmacist
04. Real Fast Words
