The Great Pumpkin and Future Stress Recordings present:

a Sonny & The Sunsets’ The Hypnotist 7″ Give Away!

You may recall back at the beginning of the year I featured this wonderful EP by Sonny and the Sunsets in my regular column This Week In Mail Order. The Hypnotist is a four song follow up to  fabulous LP Tomorrow Is Alright that Sonny released last year (one of my favorite records of 2009!).

This limited edition 7″ was pressed by Future Stress Recordings in limited quantities, and I’m happy to bring to you a Give Away of this wonderful piece of vinyl!

Here is the Deal:

There are two ways to enter:

• Comment on this post and tell us the thing you are looking forward to most this summer (big, small, beverage, food, let your imagination go wild).
  • Tweeting about the Sonny and the Sunset’s giveaway with the hashtag (#SonnyGiveAway) will increase your chances of winning (ie enter you twice!  click on my twitter, and RT me!)!
• Or email with “Sonny Give Away” in the subject to (tom at gprecs dot com).

Entries must be made by 5pm on Tuesday May 4th!

Two winners will be picked.

The grand prize is the Sonny 7″ on Blue/Yellow swirled wax, and the runner up will get, the still super cool, black vinyl edition (all 7″s come with a free digital download of the EP too)!  Yes! that means there will be two winners…start the commenting and tweeting!
