Sgt. Sunshine Self-Titled Reissue Due in May

sgt. sunshine

It has bothered me for some time not to own a copy of Sgt. Sunshine‘s 2002 self-titled debut. I have their second record, Black Hole, which came out in 2007, and its 2013 follow-up, III (review here), and both of those were released by Elektrohasch, which also had a vinyl version of the self-titled out in limited numbers, but I never managed to find it on CD. It’s still a search I do on eBay and Amazon and Discogs every now and again — including just now, since it’s on my mind — and nope. Nothing. A couple copies of the vinyl for $125 or thereabouts. No CD. This and the first Rotor are frickin’ elusive.

Thanks to Heavy Psych Sounds, it’s about to be less elusive. The Italian imprint has inked a deal to put Sgt. Sunshine‘s Sgt. Sunshine back out. The vinyl will come in either silver or black, fitting to the artwork, and it’s available to preorder starting May 15 ahead of its May 28 release. It’s hailed as something of an underappreciated classic, and this Heavy Psych Sounds reissue will pave the way for the trio to release their fourth album, which is tentatively due this fall, also through the label. Their announcement, as ever, was short and to the point, but the news is good. I’ve also included the album in full from YouTube, should you like to familiarize or revisit.
