My Name Is Sunshine - Here is one of our two new 'specialty' Sunshine collections and has been given its title because more than half of the songs include a person's name in the title, usually of course, a girl. From Vigrass & Osborne's sparkling Mister Deadline, the power Sunshine of Windmill's Big Bertha and bluesy Sunshine of New Orleans Ruth by Piccadilly Circus to the Sunshine bounce of St. David's Road's Strange Loves Of Gwyneth and The Ashley Brothers' Marcy, the Sunshine bubble poppy Daisey, Sandi and Randi, Randi and the horn-filled sounds of The Sound Idea's Linda T. and Diane by The Golden Gate - it's just a whopper of Sunshine entertainment. The festivities segue seamlessly into a tribute to the sound of what we call British Sunshine best represented in top 40 circles by chart-toppers like My Baby Loves Lovin', Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes and songs brought to us by writers like Greenaway & Cook, John MacLeod, Mike Leander and Tony MacAulay, many of whom are represented here-in. Indeed, the two aforementioned hits are beautifully sound-a-liked by Union Express' Emily Knows (take a guess) and My Kind Of Music by Colagé. Some of the other artists include The Jackpots, Neon Philharmonic, Wellington Arrangement, The Clingers, Montanas and Michael Lloyd. Some of the writers, arrangers and producers include Jimmy Bowen, Tommy Cogbill, Wes Farrell, Mike Curb, Bill & Steve Jerome, Kenny Young, Vance & Pockriss, Paul Leka, Barry Mason and Michael Lloyd. A preponderant 31 audio cleaned tracks. For complete listing, click here.
Let There Be Sunshine - Due to the artistic success of our previous 'all message song' Of The Sunshine, By The Sunshine, For The Sunshine we have created a second, similarly themed collection. Rather than the more issue related songs on our earlier collection this one has a more spiritual (or anti-spiritual) mien and the groove it's in is that of faith, hope & love. With songs of brotherly love, spiritual aspiration, personal love evoking a love of everything, love of god, disdain of god and so on, the artist list includes The New Christy Minstrels, The Establishment (a reconfiguration of The New Establishment?), Astrakan Sleeve, Everyday Hudson (The Hudson Brothers), Salt & Pepper (The Singing Sisters of St. Lucy), Jimmy Webb, McKendree Spring and the incredibly fabulous Marsha Maye. Writers, producers and arrangers include Lambert & Potter, Laura Nyro, Charles Calello, Dickie Goodman, George Tobin, Bob Stone, J. D. Loudermilk, Michael Lloyd, Bill & Steve Jerome, Ken Stella and Dick & Don Addrisi. A preeminent 29 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
All of the tracks have been audio cleaned. Stereo tracks are noted on the track listing pages.

Operation Sunshine - Maybe we should have called this one Euphoric Sunshine because it will send Sunshine and Psych Pop fans into one aural heaven after another and it's non-stop from the Sunshine beginning to the Psych center and back to the Sunshine to make it full circle. The set includes ultra-Sunshine entries like Alice In Wonderland by The Central Nervous System (the Laurie group, not the group on Music Factory) and why it never even charted is well beyond our imagining. Also of note is Gotta Make You Mine by The Velvet Crest with a vocalist who's name should be a household word. We should also mention the song I Feel Wonderful by The Catch that every time we hear it we say, "This is the best song ever in the whole world." Psych Pop masterpieces include Anyway Your Mind Blows by Charlotte Russe, Down Comes The World by Bobby Lile and Bad News by Group Therapy. Other artists include The Milky Way, The Kane Triplets, The Wellington Arrangement, The Byzantine Empire, The Blue Subway and The Rumbles Ltd. Writers, producers and arrangers include Teddy Randazzo, Carloe Bayer & Neil Sedaka, Kenny Young, Mike Leander, Richard Perry, Ritchie Cordell, Dick & Don Addrisi, Kenny Laguna, Eddie Jason, Charles Calello, Dick Glasser, Lenny Worokner and David Gates. Yikes! Songs from 1967 - 1971. A lavish 32 tracks. Condition of vinyl before transfer was VG+ to NM. To see a complete playlist, click here.
Neglected Sunshine - Another huge batch of amazement awaits any Sunshine fan. This one would qualify as what we've begun to call one of 'our little trips'. We start our trek in the Sunshine Garage with The n.a.i.f.'s classic Sweet Bird Of Love and while it takes us a few songs to get out of the Garage we emerge onto the boulevard of pure boy-girl Sunshine with The Looking Glass, The Blue Marble Faun and more. We then detour our trip merrily down the Psych path courtesy of The Children and The Phoenix Trolley. We reemerge on Boy-Girl Boulevard with, among others, The Pleasure Fair, The Rites of Spring and Heaven Bound. Later on there's even a visit to Toytown and the suburbs of Bubblegumville via Friends, Dialogue, Boss Blues and more. Other artists include The Ricochettes, Free 'n' Easy, Jerry Shore, The Jones Boys, The Flying Circus and Jackie Lee. Some of the producers, writers and arrangers are Perry Botkin, Barry DeVorzon, Ted Daryll, David Gates, Ken Laguna, Michael Lloyd, Kenny Young and Bill & Steve Jerome. Songs from 1966 - 1972 with one jump to '74. A copious 31 tracks. Condition of vinyl before transfer was VG+ to NM. To see a complete playlist, click here.
Excluded Sunshine - On many of our collections we like to express the diversity of the genre and here we have continued to do just that. While there is enough Sunshine Bounce to repopulate Penny Lane there are other facets of the genre well represented with the sisters under the skin of Psych and Garage Pop via the likes of The Mirage, The Yellow Payges, The Trolls and more. There are boy-girl vocal groups well represented courtesy of The Blue Marble Faun, Sparrow, The Sunrise Highway and Heaven Bound. It's all topped off with a large slab of tribute to the production style of Bob Crewe at his Four Seasons best climaxing like an aria with the last track, a symphonic, falsetto laden rendition of The Orlons "Everything" by The Younger Society that might just make you gasp. Other artists include Peter's Pipers, We In A Nutshell, The Express, Danny Hutton, The Unforscene, The Catch and The In Crowd. Writers, arrangers and producers include Paul Leka, Michael Z. Gordon, Al Capps, Jerry Fuller, Gary Zekley, Sandy Linzer and Joe Renzetti. Songs from 1965 - 1972. A supercalifragilistic 33 tracks! Condition of vinyl before transfer was VG+ to NM.

Of The Sunshine, By The Sunshine, For The Sunshine - We once read a definition of Sunshine Pop that said it should never have a message. Well, I suppose that would certainly hold true if one had a narrow interpretation of Sunshine Pop. Of course that would preclude such songs as Get Together, Along Comes Mary, Give A Damn and All You Need Is Love from the category. We have done it but admittedly, these kinds of songs are difficult to fit smoothly into our usual Sunshine collections. So in an effort to be all inclusive we've created a disc of Sunshine Pop, Rock and Folk filled with nothing but songs with messages of one sort or another. Be they political, anti-war, anti-drug, peace and love, religious, philosophical or social statement, they are represented on this might we say, utterly awesome collection. Among the artists on the disc are The In-Keepers, The Tygers, St. David's Road, Queen Anne's Lace, The Blue Marble Faun, The Music Bachs, The Higher Elevation, Cashman, Pistilli & West, The Kitchen Cinq and The Arrangement. Some of the writers, producers and arrangers are Geld & Udell, Bill & Steve Jerome, Tom Paxton, Ralph McTell, Frank Slay, Bob Dylan, Ron Dante and J. D. Souther. Songs from 1966 - 1972. A profuse 30 tracks. Condition of vinyl before transfer was VG+ to NM. To see a complete playlist, click here.
Undisclosed Sunshine - YAY! Though I walk through the valley of the Sunshine, I shall disclose charmed, sunshine smiles galore…and you will too! While there are a few somewhat introspective Sunshines like Rainsun Song by Sparrow and Mike McClurg's Tomorrow your cheeks may need a rest from the smiles this collection will generate as you are Welcome To The World Of Love And Laughter by Petticoat & Vine and float away in a Feather Balloon compliments of The Sugar Bears. And your Pop-Psych/Baroque cravings will be satisfied by such delights as The Pleasure Fair's Turnaway and Looking For Evergreens by The Dawnbreakers. More of the artists are St. David's Road, The Furnacemen, The Girls, Charlotte Russe, The Arrangement, Chester and the most patly named, Sunshine! Among the writers, producers and arrangers are Bonner & Gordon, Jim Webb, Tom Pacheco, Rob Royer, Tim Hallinan, Jimmie Haskell, Kim Carnes, Steve Barri, Cashman, Pistilli & West, Linzer & Randell and Charlie Callelo. Songs from 1966 - 1972. A profuse 30 tracks. Condition of vinyl before transfer was VG+ to NM. To see a complete playlist, click here.

Reflected Sunshine - Recordings from 1966 - 1972 with one appropriate leap to '76, the bulk from '66 through '69. This is one of our ULTRA SUNSHINE collections guaranteed to make you SMILE. If it doesn't, you're just not into this kind of music. We begin and end with 'Day' songs, starting with Johnny Young's Sunshine essential, It's A Sunny Day, one of the only songs that is simply about being happy without attributing it to a source outside one's self (like love or God or some-such) and ends with Georgio's Happy Birthday. Our cheeks hurt from smiling just writing about it all! Some of the other artists are Danny Hutton, Byzantine Empire, The Dawnbreakers, Artie & Linda (who as far as we know are still singing together), The Razor's Edge, The Rumbles Ltd., Sunshine, The Rites Of Spring and Linus & The Little People. Writers, producers & arrangers include Dick & Don Addrisi, The Tokens, Cole Porter, All Capps, Mark James, Snuff Garrett and Georgio Moroder. A feverish 31 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
Frozen Sunshine - Recordings from 1966 - 1971. This one begins in a more Psych-Baroque-y zone, moves resourcefully into a horn laden American Breed/Grassroots-ish area and back out into the more Neo-Vaudeville zone of Baroque. This is followed by some pure Sunshine Pop/Pop and loops back around to the beginning stylistically if not in lyrical tone - crazy but it all works quite well. Among the artists are The Magpies (Cashman & Pistilli perhaps?), The San Francisco Earthquake (Kenny Young perhaps?), The Pleasure Fair, John, Jeffrey & Brother Tom (Silver Eagle to be sure), Noah's Ark (featuring an obscure and exquisite Ron Dante vocal), The Village East (an earlier conception of the Ron Dante co-produced 8th Day?), The Jones Boys, The Tokens and Scott Fagan. Writers, arrangers and producers include Pistilli & Cashman, Johnny Cymbal, Kenny Young, Wes Farrell, Ron Dante, David Gates, Neil Sedaka & Carole Bayer and Dick Glasser. A sumptuous 31 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
Rearranged Sunshine - Recordings from 1965 - 1972. We took little sets we'd been working with that just weren't working and moved them this way and that and voila, they were rearranged! The festivities begin in total Sunshineland and segue gracefully into Folkier Sunshine turf. This is followed by Invasion tinged Sunshine from a poppier to a rockier vibe from which we move into more garagey terrain. We call this another one of our "little trips" and it includes an even bigger Action set than on Sunken Sunshine that is sure to get you moving. Artists include Ohio's The Lime, The Curtain Calls, The Giant Sunflower, The Gibsons, Peter's Pipers and a Vegas swathed Sunshine version of The Poor's She's Got The Time by Bobby Rydell, retitled as Time And Changes. Writers, arrangers and producers include Kim Carnes, Jerry Fuller, Geld & Udell, Lou Adler, Brown & Bloodworth, Ted Daryll and Bob Crewe. A bountiful 31 tracks. For complete listing, click here. A special thanks to Ken Pobo, Bob Felberg and Tom James.
All of the tracks have been audio cleaned. Stereo tracks are noted on the track listing pages.

Destination Sunshine - Recordings from 1967 - 1971, the bulk from '68 & '69. There is something of a theme on this one in that many of the songs have to do with places, both real and 'hallucinated?'. Festivities start out with a set of Sunshine bounce that takes us to a set of Flower Sunshine Psych Pop destinations, which are some of the most treasured gems in our collection. They include Bonni Long's On Flower Street, Alan Gary's At The Love-In (not to be confused with other songs of the same title), Flower Hill by Central Park and MORE! We really go places too, courtesy of The Good Earth and The Curtain Calls who both take us to Philadelphia. We head to California with Manny Fryzer who takes us On To L.A. and Saturday's Photograph with their Gentle Loving San Francisco Man. We even make it Home with The New Kick. This is a thrilling Sunshine ride. Some more of the artists are The War Babies, Sweet Henry, The Chevrons, Society of Seven, The Vogues and Bob Dileo with an earlier sensationally gorgeous version of Just Can't Help Believing. Some of the writers & producers include Bob Crewe, Claus Ogerman, Macauley & Macleod, Lee Holdridge, Charlie Calallo, Mann & Weil, Lou Stallman, Kenny Young, Wes Farrell, and Margo, Margo Medress, Siegel. With several opuses at over 3 minutes and even one over 4, we were still managed to fit 29 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
Sunshine After The Rain - Recordings from 1966 - 1972. We paid tribute to the late Ellie Greenwich by naming this one after her song Sunshine After The Rain performed on this disc by Joanie Sommers. These festivities blast off out of the gate and barely let up at all throughout. Possibly our most energetic collection to date. Among the artists are The Unforecene, The Harbingers, Dave Antrell, The Tears, Proffer, Marmelzat & Reed, Marsha Maye, Rumbles Ltd., The Distant Cousins, The Razor's Edge, The Rainy Daze and The Cherry Slush. Writers, arrangers and producers include the aforementioned Ellie Greenwich, Barry Mann & Cynthiia Weil, Don & Phil Everly, Al Kasha & Joel Hirschorn, Bob Crewe, Joey Levine and Jerry Fuller. A fully fleshed out 32 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
Clouded Sunshine - Recordings from 1966 - 1972. We called this one Clouded because of the large amount of references to the weather...quite a bit of it cloudy or rainy. From Summer Skies by The Higher Elevation and Summer Never Go Away by Saturday's Photograph to a Grey City Day with The Tokens and Harry's Group's invitation Under My Umbrella. A mini Bee Gees tribute is given by way of two exemplary, peppy versions of two of their delicious album tracks, Melody Fair by The New Dawn and Gerry Marsden's Gilbert Green. This disc takes us on a fabulous little trip...and you're never sure where the next turn will take you. More of the artists are Sugar Bears, Junction, Common Ground, San Francisco Earthquake (with a surprise for Reparata & The Delrons fans), Forever And Ever, Johnny Draper and a pre-Susan & Mom Cowsills. Writers, arrangers and producers include Cashman, Pistilli & West, Smokey Robinson, Chip Taylor & Bliiy Vera, Kenny Young, Barry & Robin Gibb, Tony Hatch, Bill & Steve Jerome, Lou Adler, Gary Loizzo & Bill Traut and Jimmy Bowen. A beatific 33 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
Sunken Sunshine - Recordings from 1965 - 1973. Yet another of our little trips, this one starts off cheerful and horn laden with some blue eyed Sunshine soul courtesy of Herman Grimes, The Magnificent Men and The Pastors (sounding quite like relatives of The Osmonds). About halfway through we're are taken into a folkier Sunshine vibe followed by some sumptuous mellow Sunshine courtesy of The Coronados, Cashman, Pistilli and West and crowned with Peter Morse's hauntingly lovely Ballad For Ophey. Of course we bring you out of the reverie in slam bang fashion into one of the zaniest sections in all of our Sunshine collections. Right On!!! Additional artists are The Springtime (with the first Colossus single), Junction, The Other Voices, Free For All, The Toy Factory, The Frosted Flakes, The In Crowd, The Chicago Loop, The Smubbs and Central Park. There are also a couple of somewhat reinvented teeners; Bobby Rydell with a terrific version of The Lovin' Things and Bobby Darin with an obscure Bonner & Gordon song, She Knows. Other writers, arrangers and producers include Lambert & Potter, Hutch Davie, Charles Calello, Linzer & Randall, Al Capps, Perry Botkin, Jr., Kenny Young, Jack Nietche, Wes Farrell & Tony Romeo and Lee Pockriss & Shelley Pinz.

A sumptuous 33 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
Ye Olde Sunshine Vaudeville Show - Recordings from 1967 - 1972 - the largest percentage from '67. Ye Olde would be referring to the quasi-Baroque entries by The Capes of Good Hope, The New Society and more. Vaudeville would be the reference to the neo-Vaudeville entries by the likes of The Curtain Calls, Gil & Johnny, Johnny Farnham and numerous others. Additional artists include Lord August & The Visions Of Lite, The Clingers, The Best Of Friends, The In Crowd and The Rubber Band. Writers, arrangers and producers include Johnny Mercer, Johnny Tillotson, Randy Sparks, Terry Knight, Tupper Saussy, Hank Medress, Dave Appell, Mike Curb and Perry Botkin, Jr. A bodacious 32 tracks.

Sunshine Behind The Veil - Recordings from 1966 - 1969 with one leap into 1971. This one is quite heavy on the Psych. Psych Pop, Psych Folk & Garage, Sunshine Folk & Psych...it's all here.

The Sunshine Disappearance - Recordings from 1966 - 1971. Our initial mapping out on this one was laid out in October and after much hemming, hawing, hacking and replacing, 8 months later, here is one of our favorites ever. The festivities open with the Beatle-esque Mr. Lovin' Luggage Man by The Young Idea. What follows is one helping of sunshine after another. Artists include Orange Colored Sky, The Inner Dialogue (who on this outing are uplifting soft Sunshine Pop in the vein of Benny Hill's Lady Birds), The Snappers, The Wreck-A-Mended (another face of the Tokens???), The United Fruit Co., Terry Knight, the Berkeley Kites and Australia's fantastic Executives. Writers, producers and arrangers include Ellie Greenwich, Norman Gimbel, Michel LeGrand, Dominic Frontiere, Paul Simon, Goffin & King, Bob Crewe and Hutch Davie. A beneficent 31 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
The Other Side Of The Sunshine - So Sunshiney we needed sunglasses. Recordings from 1967 - 1971. This starts out with what should be one of Sunshine Pop's most acclaimed anthems, Life Is A Winner by Ray Chafin and segues into the much sought after Fairyland by the Pop Workshop. It doesn't go downhill either...just maintains that midday Summer Sunshine at all times. We were able to include three of the tracks we had to remove from the original Golden Afterthought and embed them in a more appropriate setting. Artists include Jacky, Design, Euphoria, Gil & Johnny, The Joy Ride The Music Combination, the awesome Bob Dileo and The Match with some soulful sunshine provided by The Magic Fleet, Beefcake and The Shirelles circa 1971 with a fabulous cover of The Guess Who's No Sugar Tonight. Writers, producers and arrangers include Ben Findon, Mann & Weil, Bo Gentry & Joey Levine, Kenny Laguna, The Addrisi Brothers, Ray Stevens, Jimmy "The Wiz" Wisner and Felton Jarvis. A munificent 31 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
All of the tracks have been audio cleaned. Stereo tracks are noted on the track listing pages.

After listening to these once they'd been around a few months we wondered what we were thinking but now they're back, and better than before!
The Sunshine That Wasn't There - Recordings from 1967 - 1974. We'd really made a major fopah the first time out. John & Anne Ryder were pictured on the cover but we put the Will-O-Bees version of It's Getting Better on the disc. Well oops. We thought there were other problems with the playlist as well so we yanked it until we collected the right tracks to replace the less than stellar ones. In addition to the Ryders, other artists include Johnny Cymbal, The Executives, Orange Colored Sky, Fountain Of Youth The Easy Touch and The Gentle Touch! There is a salute to the word 'day' with Lovin' Day by The Status Cymbal, What A Day by Euphoria, the afore mentioned Ryder's It's Getting Better (Every Day), the original Unspoken Word version of On A Beautiful Day and Any Day's A Sunday Afternoon by The Collage. Fantastic. There are songs by The Wreck-A-Mended and The Jesters who we suspect are The Tokens (sound just like them). Writers, producers and arrangers include Jimmy 'The Wiz' Wisner, the Addrisi brothers, Perry Botkin, Jr., Vance & Pockriss, Mann & Weil, Goffin & King, Bacharach & David and Ray Whitley. An abundant 31 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
Sunshine Surprise - Recordings from '66 - '72. This one now takes us on a trip through most all the genres we include on our collections; Neo Vaudeville, Psych Pop, Garage Pop, Bubblegum Sunshine and of course pure Sunshine. An emotion laden, rare version of Under My Thumb by Del Shannon. Other artists include Design, Euphoria, Four Jacks & A Jill, The Fifth Estate, Reparata, Cartoone, The Lewis & Clarke Expedition, The In-Keepers, Oogim B. & The Tricks, The Tokens and Becky & The Red Pony. Writers, producers, arrangers and guests include Terry Melcher, Wes Farrell, Jimmy Page, Jagger & Richard, Vance & Pockriss, Lou Adler, The Tokens and Felton Jarvis. A munificent 31 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
NOTE: While many of the removed tracks were deemed substandard, there were indeed tracks that were quite up to par but just didn't fit into these new incarnations. Those tracks will appear in upcoming collections.
All of the tracks have been audio cleaned. Stereo tracks are noted on the track listing pages.

The Sunshine Cover-Up - Recordings from 1966 - 1972. This one is certainly heavy on the Sunshine and features a big 'Sunshine Bounce' section smack in the middle. Artists include John & Anne Ryder, Brian Hyland (an un-reissued, non-LP B-side), Michele & Jeff (with a Tony Macauley song), The Archies, The Capes Of Good Hope, The Silver Eagle, yet another fantastic version of Marks & Almer's Shadows & Reflections by The Lownly Crowde and Sort Of favorites The Joyride. Writers, arrangers and producers include Marty Wilde, Ellie Greenwich, Lou Stallman, Artie Butler, Lennon & McCartney, Mann & Weil, Vance & Pockriss, a Sedaka & Greenfield song performed by Lou Christie and produced by Biddu and even a Baroque arrangement for The Capes Of Good Hope by Chuck Mangione! A whopping 31 tracks. For complete listing, click here.

Delayed Sunshine - This was supposed to be a part of the Double Whammy just below but it was delayed. Delayed or not, this is another sensational collection of sunshine and psych pop, rock and folk from the mid to late 60's and early 70's ('66 to '73) that has been long delayed in being heard. We open the set with a 3 song tribute to the word "groovy" and gradually segue into a wonderful social commentary section featuring Jimmy Curtiss' Johnny Get Your Gun, possibly one of the best anti-war songs of all time. Some of the other artists include United States Double Quartet, Brian Hyland (a non-LP, non-reissued B-side), The Split Level (another non-LP track), The Aubrey Twins, Jackie Trent & Tony Hatch, Donafaye, The Will-O-Bees, The Original Caste (yes, we know) and The Lonesome Rhodes. Some of the writers and producers include Lambert & Potter, Rod McKuen, Steve Winwood & Jim Capaldi, Hilary Lipsitz & Anne Phillips and Wes Farrell & Tony Romeo. 29 amazing tracks in all. To see full track listing, click here. Audio cleaned.

Undiscovered Sunshine - Undiscovered, until now that is, here is another collection of sunshine and psych pop from the late 60's and a few early 70's (our broadest ranged package, '65 to '74). Some of the artists: The Fountain of Youth (Monkees label mates), Four Jacks & A Jill, The Jackals, Wichita Fall (a non-LP track), The Gross National Product and The Beau Gentry. Some of the writers and producers include Al Kooper, Jeff Barry, Cook & Greenaway (of My Baby Loves Lovin' fame), Ray Davies, Ted Glasser, Jerry Keller and Trade Martin. A Whopping 32 tracks! To see full track listing, click here. Audio cleaned.
Mislaid Sunshine - The stuff on this one is so obscure that we had trouble gathering imagery for the package design...just lucky we have a couple of album tracks on there that are featured in the catalog. This one fits tightly into the years '65 to '70. Some of the artists include The Gentle Touch, The Sugar Shoppe, Copper Penny, The Berkeley Kites, The Playhouse, Ginny Tiu & The Few, Candlewick Green (Lally Stott), The Robbs, The Joyride and yes, Donafaye! The writers & producers list includes Jackie Trent & Tony Hatch, Jeff Barry, Lee Pockriss, Anne Phillips, Gary Loizzo, The Doors, Bob Dylan, Bob Lind, Ray Whitley and the fabulous and under-rated Roger Nichols! 29 tracks. To see complete track listing, click here. Audio cleaned. These collections are FANTASTIC! Don't miss our original Sunshine and Golden compilations a bit further down the page.

The Sunshine Revelation - Recordings from 1967 - 1970. The cheeriest of this triple play of Sunshine, our shall we say, glazed donut of Sunshine Pop? Okay, here we go: Artists include The Pufnstuf, The Spectrum, The Gibsons, Phluph, Ginny Tiu & The Few, The Yellow Payges, Gingerbread, The Bubblegum Machine, John, Jeffrey & Brother Tom (sounding remarkably like label-mates The Cowsills) and yes indeedy, some sunshine from Sally Field and even more from Merv Griffin & The Griffin Family Singers!!!! Writers, arrangers and producers include Brian Lane & Don Gould, Michael Gore & Carole Bayer, Kornfeld & Duboff, Tony Romeo, Felton Jarvis, Roger Nichols & Paul Williams, Bo Gentry & Ritchie Cordell, Jimmy "The Wiz" Wisner and Charles Koppelman. 29 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
The Golden Gone - Recordings from 1967 - 1974. Possibly our prettiest and most melodious collection to date. Just delicious. Artists include Mome Rath, Chris & Peter Allen, Austin Roberts, Capes of Good Hope, Tim Hollier, The Fortunes, Wind, The Sweet Tymes (with the original female version of Twinn Connexion's "I Think I Know Him"), Dino, Desi & Billy, and The Jay Five. Purists may object to the inclusion of Primo People's "Better Late Than Never" from '74 deeming it too late to be real Sunshine Pop but it was behind the times and fits snugly into the package (trust us). Purists may also not find the more mainstream pop "Patterns" by Barbara Cooper appropriate but when you hear the segues, you'll get it. Writers, arrangers and producers include Charles Fox & Norman Gimbel, Paul Simon, Kasha & Hirschhorn, Cashman, Pistilli & West, Joan (Joni) Mitchell, Hillary Lipsitz & Anne Phillips, Bo Gentry & Joey Levine, Roger Nichols & Paul Williams, David Gates and John Phillips. 27 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
Buried Sunshine - Recordings from 1966 - 1971. To date, our most Psych and Folk Sunshine collection...and of course the Sunshine Pop is not overlooked. We've made this a Wichita Fall/Five Americans sandwich beginning and ending with a track by each. Other artists include The Lewis & Clarke Expedition, The Gross National Product, Bristol Boxkite, Phluph, Chapter V, The Hobbits, The Split Level, Four Jacks & A Jill, The Lonesome Rhodes, The Giant Jellybean Copout (featuring the elusive Bob Dileo) and three super psych re-invented teeners Tommy Roe, Eddie Hodges and Tommy Sands - you will be amazed! Writers, arrangers and producers include Jack Keller, Dennis Lambert, Shelly Pinz & Paul Leka, Paul Vance & Lee Pockriss, Jim Ryan (of the Critters), Lesley Duncan and Larry Marks & Tandyn Almer. 29 tracks. For complete listing, click here.
All of the tracks have been audio cleaned. Stereo tracks are noted on the track listing pages. Some of the records are extremely rare and there are occasional pffts but they are few and far between and DEFINITELY worth the minor inconvenience.
Sunshine Compiler's Note: Recordings by Mome Rath, The Pufnstuf and Punch while rooted firmly in the late 60's Sunshine vibe all foretell the coming of ABBA and through these recordings, ABBA can proudly trace it's lineage directly to groups like The Mamas & Papas and The 5th Dimension. The Pufnstuf sound remarkably like Olivia Newton John (at times backed by ABBA themselves). So much so that we spent exhaustive hours of research trying to find out who the singer of these tracks is so if anyone knows, please tell us!

Abandoned Sunshine - Not only did we abandon the sunshine but we abandoned the hope and vision it stood for. I could easily say why but this isn't a sociology lesson. But though the sunshine was abandoned you can recapture it for a while in a big way with the fantastic motherlode in this collection of sunshine and psych pop from the late 60's ('67 - '69 to be exact - with one rare Cowsills track from '71). Some of the artists: Celebration, The Sugar Shoppe, The New Establishment, Picardy, The Gibsons, Moonstone, The Good Earth (the original duo) and The Crystal Mansion. We've included some 45 tracks by The Parade (this was made before the reissue of the reissue of their album and we're just not going to update them out of the picture). Some of the writers and producers include Jim Dawson, Jimmy Webb, Cashman Pistilli & West, The Doors, Jerry Keller & Dave Blume, Donovan, Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich & Phil Spector and Paul Vance & Lee Pockriss. 29 tracks. To see full track listing, click here. Audio cleaned.
Hidden Sunshine - This one will take you through the gamut of sunshine & psych emotions circa '67 - '70. It has two rare early Peppermint Trolley Company tracks and some more of the sensational Parade tracks. We open the festivities with the rare stereo version of The Hollies' Everything Is Sunshine - only we removed the tape hiss that previous CD producers must've deemed an unnecessary task. You'll get to hear The Will-o-bees version of Make Your Own Kind Of Music (seems Mama Cass was not the only perfect match for Mann & Weil in 1969). Other artists include The Tuneful Trolley, The Rich Kids, Mortimer (yeah, we know), The Robbs, Mercy, The Gibsons, Rain, The Young Ideas (another face of The Happenings??? - sounds just like them) and in our little tribute to The Hollies, Cathy Rich's delicious version of Wishyouawish. Indeed, there are many 'other versions' of songs on this one that we hesitate to call covers. The writers & producers list includes Kenny Laguna, Clint Ballard Jr., Jeff Barry, Paul Simon, Willie Hutch and of course, Barry & Cynthia the GREAT! 28 tracks. To see complete track listing, click here. Audio cleaned. These collections are FANTASTIC! Don't miss our original Sunshine and Golden compilations a bit further down the page.

Leftover Sunshine - A-one more time - and a once more - not just golden lost, unknown or secret, many of these treasures are virtually unknown. Yet another collection of obscure soft sunshine pop, bubblegum and psych pop, folk and rock tracks from the late 60's & early 70's (1967 - 1970 to be exact) many of which have never appeared on CD or even a vinyl LP. Includes songs by Jon & Robin, Tiny Tim, Every Mother's Son, The Critters, The Jackals, The Hobbits, Colours, The Five Americans, Brian Hyland and many more. Rupert Holmes makes another appearance as the voice of The Street People on another rare track and famed game show host Chuck Woolery makes an appearance as a co-songwriter of Avant-Garde's awesome "Yellow Beads"! Leftover Sunshine will bring as many sugar coated tears to your eyes as Secret Sunshine, The Golden Unknown and The Golden Lost. 27 tracks. Condition of vinyl before transfer: VG+ to NM.
