Record Store Day Black Friday

Black Friday Record Store Day is coming up next week. Also known as Mini Record Store Day, or Record Store Day Part 2, whichever you prefer, its a great day to shop at your local record store and get your hands on some limited edition vinyl releases by your favorite artists.

Sunshine Daydream will open at 9am on Friday November 28th with sales throughout the store and lots of special RSD vinyl records. These are limited edition pressings by many different bands. The complete list of what is being released can be found here. This list does not mean that we will have all of these for sale in our shop. As our allotment of Black Friday Record Store Day releases are just starting to trickle in and we have several different distributors shipping to us, we will not know everything that we have for sale until late Wednesday. We will post our list of available titles on our storefront door and on our facebook event page sometime on Thanksgiving day.

We are an official Record Store Day Participating Store, but because we are a smaller shop, we don't always get all the releases that we want (but we do get what we need...LOL), so we have some rules for our shop on these Record Store Days. Out of the titles that we do receive, we may only get 1 copy of a certain title or we may get multiples. 

There is a limit of 1 of a title per person and a total limit of 3 Black Friday Record Store Day releases per person. We have these limits in place, as we don’t have a ton of these releases and want to give all of our customers a chance to get something they want. Sorry, we can’t hold items, and it is first come first served. Any unsold releases will be available on our website on Monday 12/1.

Widespread Panic Records

Widespread Panic Record Albums

It's Rocktober, and it's time for the next 2 vinyl releases from the Widespread Panic album catalog, Ain't Life Grand, and Everyday.

Back in July, their debut album, Space Wrangler and their 2nd album, self titled Widespread Panic (Mom's Kitchen) were released on pristine vinyl 2 record sets. Sunshine Daydream still has a few copies of each left in stock. 

Everyday is the third studio album by the Athens, GA based band. It was first released by Capricorn Records and Warner Bros. Records on March 3, 1993 but was never released on vinyl. The band recorded the album at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield, AL, and was the group's first to feature band mate, John Hermann. Order your copy here.

Ain't Life Grand is the fourth studio album from Panic. It was first released by Capricorn Records and Warner Bros. Records on September 6,1994 and like Everyday, was never released on vinyl. The band got minor airplay for their cover of Bloodkin's "Can't Get High," as well as their own "Airplane." The band begun rehearsing for the album by recording pre-recording sessions at John Keane's home studio like their first album, Space Wrangler. They were so pleased with the results that they decided to use the sessions for Ain't Life Grand instead of going into the studio on a future date with their producer Johnny Sandlin. You can order your copy of this album right here.

Our record department also has other Widespread Panic titles on vinyl, and we also carry a wide assortment of WP posters and merchandise. 

Check out our website, or visit our Chicago area store for all your Panic needs.

Hold on though, because on August 26th, the bands 3rd and 4th albums will be out on pristine vinyl!
