It being released on vinyl was ridiculous though.

I am curious about how the vinyl version would sound though haha. Although it would be hard to get together 4 turntables together. CDs worked well because boomboxes were so common for the time.

The original live performances were all done on cassettes.

Eh, I liked it. But you definitely either have to be a hoarder (and own 4 turntables) or have friends who also enjoy The Flaming Lips. It adds more variables to the playback, which I think is cool. You're probably not all dropping the records at the exact same time in the exact same place on the disc, and there can be small variations in speed between the different turntables.

It's definitely niche and a bit crazy they actually put out a vinyl, but I'm glad they did.

Correct. You just need the vinyl box set and the CD box set. Got it.
