The Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs With Henry Rollins and Peaches Doing The Dark Side of the Moon is The Flaming Lips' thirteenth full-length studio album which is a complete track-for-track remake of Pink Floyd's 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon. This is the first cover album by the band. The album was released on iTunes December 22, 2009. The album will be released on other digital music retailers the week after.

 

The recording's existence was revealed by The Flaming Lips' frontman Wayne Coyne before a special promotional concert at the Ricardo Montalbán Theater in Hollywood. The album was recorded with the band Stardeath and White Dwarfs, and features singer Henry Rollins recreating the original album's interview samples. The album also features the singer Peaches who performed Clare Torry's vocal segment of The Great Gig in the Sky.
