Sunny Day Real Estate is the second studio album by rock band Sunny Day Real Estate. The band's label, Sub Pop, distributed the album under the title LP2.
The album was remastered and reissued in 2009, with bonus tracks and newly written liner notes.[1] The bonus tracks are "Spade and Parade" (originally a b-side of the song "Friday") and "Bucket of Chicken" (released as a b-side to the song "How It Feels to be Something On").[2]
[edit] Overview
The album is entirely covered in pink, with the band's name across the cover in small type, and doesn't include any liner notes. Due to its simple pink cover, the album is often referred to as The Pink Album. This album was released in November 1995, several months after the band's first break-up.
"8" and "Friday" were re-recorded for the album. Both songs had been recorded and released previously on 7-inch singles. The final track, "Rodeo Jones", was recorded during the sessions for the previous album, Diary, and was previously released as a b-side on the "In Circles" promo single. In addition, "8" is featured on the Batman Forever soundtrack.
