The sun will continue to rise… even if there’s no one around to see it.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Cathedral","offers":[{"title":"\"Summer Solstice\" LP + *Signed* Card","offer_id":51130393198870,"sku":"RMX-65049","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Solar Yellow LP","offer_id":51130393231638,"sku":"RMX-65050","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51130393264406,"sku":"RMX-65051","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/55d166a3065fa75deca1335ccd2a1013.png?v=1774355422","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/pye-corner-audio-more-songs-about-the-sun","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
