Format:Audio CD
If you are looking for a compilation of greatest hits of the Sixties you will need to look elsewhere. If however you want to hear something different of the Sixties where you are not likely to have heard the majority of the tracks then this is the right one to get.
I can't remember exactly how I first heard of this compilation, it might of been from Mojo and if I hadn't read about it I would never of bought it. If you have come across this through searching Amazon please read on.
What do you get for your money? 70 minutes of what the compilers describe as Sunshine Pop and it is a very apt description.The music spans the years 1966 to 1969 and the sound falls somewhere between the Mamas and Papas and the Association. The quality of the music is excellent throughout, all well produced, lovely harmonies, great songs. Of the artistes featured The Monkees, The Association, Harpers Bazaar and The Everly Brothers are the most familiar names. You won't necessarily find these tracks on the individual greatest hits, certainly not The Everly Brothers or The Monkees but they should certainly be better known.
The songs won't hit you straight away but after a few plays you are likely to be hooked as I am.
The attractive booklet deserves a mention as well. It's well illustrated, well researched.
This is a marvellous CD and deserves to be better known and appreciated. For anyone prepared to take the risk- Happy listening.

This is the sequel to My Mind Goes High and is basically psychedelic music as it took the Beatles as a starting point.
The evolvement from Good Time Music to what was to be named Sunshine Pop was just a change of name and even though psychedelic music was founded by the British the American take on it was always more interesting.
This is through and through Beatles inspired and is from the Warner Brothers groups of labels.
By the end of the decade it was all over but would see a new Dawn in the 70s

Indulge Your Sweet Tooth
14 Feb 2006
Format:Audio CD
These are the kind of quaint, cotton-candy numbers that tin-pan-alley tunesmiths cranked out for the AM-radio teen idols of the sixties and seventies. Though the individual songs vary in quality, the CD as a whole provides the perfect soundtrack for a kid's poolside tea party in sunny California, complete with marble-eyed stuffed animals, kaleidoscope pinwheels, and red Kool Aid. When I was super tiny, I spent enough time sitting on the vinyl back seats of my mom's LTD Ford daydreaming to twee pop like this for it to leave an impression. It's fluff, but it's a sweet taste.

Let the sunshine in!
27 Aug 2008
Format:Audio CD
This is a beautiful collection of perfect pop, guaranteed to lift your spirits on the cloudiest of days. Just listen to the Monkees' "Someday Man", "Come on In" by the Association or "If You Know What I Mean" by The Gas Company and try not to be elevated. It's all genius stuff. I'm mystified why anybody would give this superb compilation less than five stars.
'A Whole Lot Of Rainbows: Soft Pop Nuggets' (Rhino) Various Artists
25 May 2010
Format:Audio CD
Twenty-four track collection of those 'soft rock' or what some refer to as 'sunshine pop' artists. This may not be my favorite various artists compliation CD out there (even of '60's music), but 'A Whole Lot Of Rainbows' is definitely aimed toward the fans that totally dig bands like the Everly Brothers, the Association, the Vogues, Jan & Dean and the Monkees more than the casual follower. Some of the obscure names here include the New York band Morning Glories, Looking Glass, Holy Mackerel and Addrisi Brothers. A nice pick.
