The Bees – Sunshine Hit Me

Released originally by Wall of Sound sublabel We Love You in 2002, ‘Sunshine Hit Me’ was recorded and produced by founding members Paul Butler and Aaron Fletcher in a home garden studio – aka The Shed – on the Isle of Wight, and went on to receive a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize, 2003.

Singles from the album include “No Trophy”, “Punchbag”, and a cover of Os Mutantes’ “A Minha Menina”.

Remastered at Electric Mastering in 2023, this new vinyl reissue marks the album’s first ever repress and will be available as a limited edition ‘mask’ blue coloured vinyl, matching the album’s iconic cover.

This limited vinyl will also contain a download code for two bonus dub tracks. A newly curated, expanded CD will also be released. This will feature 6 bonus tracks, including a previously unreleased song, “Seeds”.
