VINYL FORMAT. Insound Staff Pick - 2008! 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 in a two-disc Deluxe Edition with bonus tracks, new liner notes, and unseen band photos on June 12, 2007. Daydream Nation was Sonic Youth's sixth album, their first double LP, and their last for an indie label before signing with major label Geffen. Widely considered to be Sonic Youth's watershed moment, Daydream Nation catapulted them into the mainstream and proved that indie bands could enjoy wide commercial success without compromising their artistic vision.

Disc One features the original 1988 album, remastered under the band's supervision. From the anthemic "Teen Age Riot" to "Eric's Trip", "Total Trash", "Candle", and "Cross The Breeze", Daydream Nation contains some of Sonic Youth's best known songs. Disc One closes with a bonus home demo of "Eric's Trip". The 'Live Daydream' Disc Two, comprised largely of previously unreleased tracks, features 15 live performances from the band's Daydream Nation Tour. Culled from performances at CBGB's in New York to The Paradiso in Amsterdam (and several others), 'Live Daydream' includes live versions of every song on the original album. Added to that are four studio bonuses: "Within You Without You", a Beatles cover 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 7" single.
