Originally released in 2000, Please Come Home... Mr. Bulbous stands as one of the most creative, unpredictable, and emotionally resonant albums in the King's X discography. A product of pure artistic freedom, this record was written collaboratively in the studio by all three band members, resulting in one of the most cohesive and inspired bodies of work the band ever created. Free from the expectations of commercial radio or label interference, Mr. Bulbous is King's X unfiltered-bold, strange, and strikingly beautiful. The album's title-like much of it's charm-defies easy explanation. In the spirit of Gretchen Goes to Nebraska, the band chose a name that felt curious, quirky, and maybe even meaningless... or maybe it meant everything. What unfolded musically was an ambitious and emotive journey, with tracks like "Fish Bowl Man," "Julia," and "She's Gone Away" serving as standout moments of depth and experimentation. Ty Tabor's guitar solo on "She's Gone Away" is often hailed as one of the greatest of his career-recorded in a single take, raw and perfect. Jerry Gaskill's contributions as a lyricist and vocalist are more prominent here than ever before, adding layers of poetic nuance to the album's texture. Doug Pinnick's signature soulful presence anchors the record with undeniable heart and groove. What once may have seemed like a left turn for the band has aged into a fan-favorite classic. Even those who didn't immediately connect with Mr. Bulbous upon it's release now celebrate it's lasting impact and layered brilliance. As Jerry Gaskill reflected years later, Tape Head, Mr. Bulbous, and Manic Moonlight represent a special time for the band-records created shoulder to shoulder, in complete unity. Now, for the first time ever, Please Come Home... Mr. Bulbous receives the deluxe vinyl treatment it so richly deserves. Remastered in 2025 by Rob Colwell (King's X, Nevermore, Galactic Cowboys) with incredible sonic clarity, the album is presented on stunning Lime Green vinyl-limited to just 250 copies worldwide. The reissue includes a 12x12 full-color insert featuring lyrics and rare band photos, all housed in a premium jacket as part of Brutal Planet Records' exclusive Limited Run Vinyl series. Celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of King's X's most daring and rewarding albums-a record that challenged expectations and emerged as a timeless work of musical integrity. Please Come Home... Mr. Bulbous isn't just a title; it's a mysterious invitation into a world that only King's X could create. For fans of The Beatles, Extreme, Faith No More, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, In Living Color, Rush! Brutal Planet Records - Keeping Classic Rock & Metal Alive!

GRADING
GRADING
Yellow Racket assigns condition based on the Goldmine Standard for grading records.
New (N) (Not typically included in the Goldmine Standard)
New records are purchased directly from the label, distributor, or registered wholesaler. Records are still sealed. Jackets may have slight shelf wear, but media has never been played.
Mint (M)
Still sealed. Never played. No observable flaws. Items have been purchased secondhand.
Near Mint (NM)
A Near Mint (NM) record will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.
The cover (and any additional packaging) has no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable defects.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus (VG+) record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches.
The disc and LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be gently marred by spindle marks, paper scuffs, wrinkled corners, etc.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident, but will not overpower the music. Disc may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels, jackets, and inserts will have visible cosmetic flaws such as wrinkles, cut-outs, slight splitting, etc. However, it will usually have less than a dozen minor flaws.
Good (G)
A record in Good condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present.
While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
Poor (P), Fair (F)
The record may be cracked, badly warped, or won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve may be water damaged, split, or heavily marred by wear and writing.
