Got $2,500 lying around? Nab yourself some of The Flaming Lips’ “blood vinyl”
Most audacious Record Store Day release? The Flaming Lips And Heady Fwends, hands down.
We reported back in March that Wayne Coyne’s merry troubadours were gearing up to release a series of collaborative LPs with the likes of Erykah Badu, Nick Cave, Yoko Ono, Prefuse 73, Bon Iver, Ke$ha and Chris Martin. Moreover, each disc was set to be infused with samples of each star’s blood.
According to Pitchfork, 10 copies of the haemaglobin-enhanced vinyl have now been made available to buy. Each copy will be available at the blood-boiling price of $2,500. According to Coyne’s Twitter account, the discs go on sale at the end of the week. You can also take a peek at the cast of contributors/donors here.
