5 stars Fantastic Collection (if you're a fan)
This 3 CD collection comprises all of the Lips recordings from 83-88, and includes the complete recordings of The Flaming Lips EP, Hear It Is, Oh My Gawd, and Telepathic Surgery. Each disk also contains bonus tracks, encompassing covers, b-sides, live tracks, and the like. If you don't already have these albums, and chances are good you don't, this is the best way to get them.

As others have mentioned, new fans should be warned that the Lips of old have little relation stylisitically to the Lips…

2 stars Not the same
I agree with reviewer who called material inessential. I have only recently gotten into Lips. I started with Yoshimhi and worked backward to Satellite Transmissions. To be honest,If asked to do a blindfold test prior to buying this, I wouldn't have known this was Flaming Lips. I guess it has some value as historical document of where the group came from, but I can't see myself listening to it much in the future.
