A Midsummers Daydream 12" Vinyl Edition

Description

Ever wondered what a Brian Wilson solo album from 1969 would sound like? Look no further. (No A.I. needed…)

Exquisitely arranged by ex-Animal Vic Briggs and featuring several Wrecking Crew musicians who also played on Pet Sounds, MARK ERIC’s A Midsummer’s Day Dream is a unique blend of Beach Boys/Four Freshmen sensibilities coupled with wistful, lush surf psychedelia.

Defiantly soft, the 1969 LP captured the tail end of L.A.’s pop innocence perfectly, just as it slipped into infinity. First time on vinyl since its original release.

Coming this summer! Our 2002 & 2009 CD reissues of A Midsummer’s Day Dream caught the soft pop collector’s world entirely off guard: Very few were aware of the LP’s existence, and the reaction was united: A masterpiece was unleashed and a new generation of daydreamers was born! The result was glowing reviews in MOJO and UNCUT, a Japanese edition, as well as soaring prices for the original long out-of-print vinyl pressing. The full-colour gatefold jacket includes EXCLUSIVE, rare photos, and UPDATED and EXPANDED liner notes that feature the participation of Mark Eric himself. Reissue produced, annotated, and designed by STEVE STANLEY.
