Nice selection of songs generally not found elsewhere

"While I'm critical of some of the 5 CDs in the 'Sunshine Days' series, this one stands out above the others. The MONO mix of OVER YOU by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap is superior to the stereo mix heard elsewhere. In addition, the songs picked for this compilation are generally not found elsewhere. For example, I have only found "Workin' on a Groovy Thing" by The 5th Dimension on one other compilation... and then transferred from LP (needle drop). TOMORROW by The Strawberry Alarm Clock is an often overlooked song from the group best known for Incense & Peppermints. Petula Clark's DON'T SLEEP IN THE SUBWAY and Beverly Bremers' DON'T SAY YOU DON'T REMEMBER cover songs by women about life's relationships. Hey... for those of you with a good ear, check out the lousy background singers on Bremers' song. The balance of the songs have merit, and it's good to hear some of them (such as WHEN I DIE by Motherlode) for the first time in years. I hope this compilation brings a smile to your face as it did mine."
