Sonic Youth members decided to empty their storage units and offer their fans a unique opportunity to own some of the band’s unique memorabilia.
The American alternative rockers are selling off a number of guitars, vinyl records, and other items previously owned and used by the band. This huge sale marks the 30th anniversary of the band’s cult fifth studio album Daydream Nation.
More than 200 pieces of Sonic Youth’s gear will be up for grabs, including Koa Travis Bean guitar owned by Lee Ranaldo, Gibson Firebird played by Thurston Moore and Jim O’Rourke, and Fender Telecaster Deluxe that was played by all three members of the band. If you are more into bass guitars, for the right kind of money you can own Kim Gordon’s blue Fender P-Bass and Fender Jazzmaster MIJ Moore. All of this and more will be available on Reverb starting October 30th.
As of October 24th, the band will also offer over 300 records on Reverb LP. Among the records, there will be never-before-available test pressings, out-of-print LPs, albums that belonged to the private collections of band members.
Besides guitars and records, you will also be able to own Sonic Youth show posters, rare photographs, and personal relics.
As part of the celebration of Daydream Nation’s 30th anniversary, the band will also release previously unheard live material as well as rare concert footage.
