Hailed by Rolling Stone as one of 'The 500 Greatest Albums of All-Time' and honored as one of the first 200 albums chosen by the Library of Congress to be included in the National Recording Registry for their historic, cultural or aesthetic importance, Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation will be issued by Geffen Records in a two-disc Deluxe Edition with bonus tracks, new liner notes, and unseen band photos on June 12, 2007 and on a super-special 4-disc vinyl set issued by the band's own Goofin' Records.

Disc One features the original 1988 album, remastered from the original tapes under the band's supervision, plus a bonus home demo of 'Eric's Trip.' The 'Live Daydream' Disc two, comprised largely of previously unreleased tracks, features 15 live tracks from the band's 'Daydream Nation' Tour. Culled from performances at several venues including hallowed grounds such as CBGB's in New York and The Paradiso in Amsterdam, 'Live Daydream' includes live versions of every song on the original album. Added to that are four studio bonuses: 'Within You, Without You,' from Sgt. Pepper Knew My Father - an NME-sponsored charity Beatles Tribute album, 'Computer Age' from the critically-acclaimed Neil Young tribute album The Bridge; 'Electricity' from the Captain Beefheart tribute album Fast And Bulbous, and a cover of Mudhoney's 'Touch Me, I'm Sick,' originally released as a Sub Pop single.

The bonus materials are an aural treat for the discerning aficionado and the casual listener alike, and provide new insight into an album widely considered to be Sonic Youth's watershed moment. Celebrating the re-release of Daydream Nation, the band will perform the entire album live at several select shows in North America and Europe.

Cool. I might buy this, depending on how much it is. It would be awesome to own the vinyl, but I have a feeling the price is going to be crippling.

Then I would have three copies of the album =)

Thanks

I'll be getting this, I'm sure it'll be a little pricey like the other ones - but the additional material makes it worthwhile. Plus ... it's Daydream Nation.

I will buy this as soon as it comes out.

The bonus **** looks awesome, and I'm curious to see what the remasters sound like.

I am really excited about this. Live tracks are awesome, and since it's the entire album live . . . fantastic.

I got the original for $7 on amazon. I'm going to buy this because would like to own a unique version of my favorite sonic youth album and the fact that it has a live recording of every track is just icing on the cake

why'd they release Goo Deluxe Edition before this that's stupid

also, neat
I dunno, but I kinda consider goo as the turning-point album for the band... and Goo is also very good, good enough to be compared to daydream nation
