I love Sunstroke but it drives me a little crazy that they keep only releasing one or two new songs each year. I need more than this. Give me something that I can sit with for 15 to 20 minutes.
The latest from Sunstroke is another two song 7 inch... one new song and one cover. Hell Of A Year For Daisies is such a great song, and it kills me that there isn't more. Sure the cover of By A Thread by Inside Out is cool as hell, but I'm not sure how many times I need to listen to it here. Maybe it would fit in nicely at the end of a 12 inch, but here with just one other song... I fear the cover is going to be a bit tiresome after a while.
175 pressed on yellow.
Despite my complaints of how little is offered here on this record for music, it is still well worth picking up. The songs are great and the gatefold 7 inch sleeve is really well done... plus a bunch of stickers thrown in from Sky Valley Records make this a great package.
There are a number of different pressings for this 7 inch... I think maybe there are seven colors in all... and I'd hoped that we were moving away from this kind of thing, but I guess there are still labels that want to bankrupt anyone that is interested in trying to collect all of them. I was content with just the one yellow copy that I'd picked up, but once I saw that the REV exclusive color went all in with a special cover, of course I had to grab one of those as well.
115 pressed on blue vinyl with an excellent rip of the design from the Inside Out 7 inch.

I really, really like Sunstroke, but 7”s are 12+€ nowadays and I find it harder and harder to justify that kind of money for two songs. But man, I really want all those Sunstroke records I’m still missing.
