Remember that Zaireeka came out *before* The Soft Bulletin. It was amazing that WB did that for the band during that drought between "She Don't Use Jelly" and The Soft Bulletin. The band's first WB album came out in 1992. That's a long, great relationship. Whether or not the actual deal is great is unknown. But the relationship is definitely great.</p> WB has been very good to the Lips. Remember that Zaireeka came out *before* The Soft Bulletin.

I don’t think I’ve heard that type of statement outside of a Merge artist for 12 years.
