The Flaming Lips are putting out a number of releases for this year's Record Store Day Back to Black Friday (taking place November 29), as Rolling Stone reports.

One of those will be their previously reported cover album of the Stone Roses' entire self-titled debut. Wayne Coyne tells Rolling Stone that the record will feature contributions from many other artists: Poliça (on "She Bangs the Drums"), Foxygen's Jonathan Rado ("This Is the One"), Spaceface (non-album single "Fools Gold"), Peaking Lights, Stardeath and White Dwarfs, New Fumes, and Def Rain.

Also available on Record Store Day: that collaborative EP on which the Lips and Tame Impala cover each other's songs, and a vinyl release of Peace Sword (their recent EP based on Ender's Game) and (possibly, if it's finished in time) "a toy frog that contains an audio recording of the band's first-ever demo." (It will be called the "Fuck You Frog.")

Last but certainly not least, Coyne is also hoping that a chocolate skull (like the anatomically correct chocolate heart and the gummy skull before it) might be ready in time for Black Friday. He elaborates: "It's all made out of chocolate, it's a life-size human skull, a life-sized human brain, and the brain is actually sliding out of the skull made with this brain fluid flavored hard-candy. And there's a little magic coin inside that brain that you're supposed to dig out. I think it's supposed to get you into any Flaming Lips show in the world. I think that's our intention."
