It features rare Beatles cover from NME tribute

Sonic Youth have revealed the details of a deluxe reissue of their landmark 1988 album 'Daydream Nation'.

The deluxe edition is due out in the US on June 12. It will include two discs featuring bonus tracks, rare covers, new liner notes, and previously unseen band photos.

The first disc contains the original album, which has been remastered under the group's supervision.

The second disc features 15 live performances from their original 'Daydream Nation' tour, including tracks recorded at New York's CBGB and Amsterdam's Paradiso.

It also contains four studio bonus tracks, including Sonic Youth's cover of The Beatles' 'Within You Without You' from an NME Beatles tribute album from 1987, and Neil Young's 'Computer Age'.

A four-disc deluxe vinyl set will be released via Sonic Youth's Goofin' Records.

As previously announced, Sonic Youth will perform 'Daydream Nation' in its entirety at several shows throughout the UK, the US and Europe this summer.
