The Flaming Lips: The Soft Bulletin Wersja na winylu 2LP w standardowe wydanie. Ta konkretna edycja została wydana w Europa w wydawnictwie Warner Records dnia 25. października 2019.

Not only did this record pave the way for The Flaming Lips to commercial success far beyond their home country, but it also opened the door for younger bands with a sense of adventure in their blood to break onto the pop charts. Just as earlier albums influenced bands like Grandaddy and Mercury Rev, The Soft Bulletin and its follow-up Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots became inspirations for bands like MGMT and Empire of the Sun. Sure, it's an album of its time - but one with a reach that's still making its way across the modern musical landscape. ME/Sounds 6/99: "It's nice that there are still musicians with backbone whose work you can look forward to like a little kid every time. "Flips" have been on the scene since 1983 and have delighted us time and time again with one great noise-pop record after another. The often used and too often stereotyped term masterpiece - fits here for once."

Album sięga do gatunku Rock, Indie Rock, Psychedelic rock, Experimental i Noise.
