Description
Dangermouse (producer) has hand signed this copy of the Sparklehorse CD Single “Don’t Take My Sunshine Away” on the front cover in blue ink.
Although it was Sparklehorse’s first studio album in five years, approximately 25 minutes of the 55-minute-long record were released in some form previously, dating from the sessions for the It’s a Wonderful Life album. “Ghost in the Sky” was originally released on the Japanese pressing of It’s a Wonderful Life. “Shade and Honey” appeared on a joint 7″ split-single with “The Shins” and “Mates Of State”. “Shade and Honey” was also sung by the actor Alessandro Nivola in the 2002 film Laurel Canyon, and Nivola’s version is also found on the soundtrack. “Morning Hollow” was previously found as the hidden bonus track on It’s a Wonderful Life. The track “Dreamt for Lightyears in the Belly of a Mountain” was originally released in 2001 under the title “Maxine” on both the LP version of It’s a Wonderful Life and on the Gold Day EP.
“Ghost in the Sky,” “Don’t Take My Sunshine Away,” and “Knives of Summertime” were released as singles in the weeks leading up to the release of the album.
