Sunshine Superman marked the coming of psychedelia and utilised the production skills of already established producer, Mickie Most, whose bass heavy style complements Donovan's enigmatic lyrics and their beatnik delivery brilliantly.

The alleged lack of hallucinogens, however, doesn't stop the fantasy-loving performer from unveiling trippy tunes such as the dreamy classic "Wear Your Love Like Heaven," along with spare, absurdist songs like "Voyage to the Golden Screen" and "Starfish-on-the-Toast." While only the former track proved to be a hit, GIFT is filled with fine mellow moments such as "Song of the Naturalist's Wife" and "The Lullaby of Spring," making it essential listening for those seeking to venture into the welcoming realm beyond Donovan's singles.

| | Neil Young On The Beach CD (1974) Remastered
Sunshine Superman CD music
$8.99  
After working his way through loss and chaos on the brilliant TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (recorded in 1973, but not released until 1975), Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's ON THE BEACH. The album opens with the saunter of the aptly titled "Walk On," followed by the utterly gorgeous, Wurlitzer-tinged "See the Sky about to Rain."
The set also features a trio of scathing songs--"Revolution Blues," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues"--that address issues important to Young, both social and personal. It is good to hear Young back with such bite and vitriol, especially after the broken desperation of TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT. But while ON THE BEACH is edgy and deeply felt, it also manages to sound liberating and relaxed, with glimmers of hope and humor ...
| | Donovan Barabajagal CD (1969) (Import) England; Remastered; United Kingdom
Sunshine Superman music CDs
$10.49
Donovan's last truly great album of the 1960s, 1968's BARABAJAGAL shows interesting artistic growth at least as marked as his transformation from folk troubadour to daffy hippie-pop guru. The title track and "Trudi" feature the Rod Stewart-era Jeff Beck Group as Donovan's backing band; consequently both these songs have a surprising amount of sonic heft to them.
Of course, Donovan is pretty much incapable of getting heavy, but the hard-candy pop suits him well. A version of Terry Reid's marijuana/fellatio multiple-entendre "Superlungs My Supergirl" is similarly rockin', but for most of the rest of the album, Donovan reverts to his usual folkish psych-pop. The hit "Atlantis," the Cat Stevens-like "I Love My Shirt" and the unexpectedly tender "To Susan On the West Coast Waiting" are also highlights.
Donovan was in a tremendously creative phase during the latter part of 1968, owing to both a tour of the United States (which yielded a live album) and the chemical and social stimulation of his surroundings. Amid all of that activity and his ...
| | Donovan Hurdy Gurdy Man CD (1968) (Import) Bonus Tracks; England; Remastered; United Kingdom
Sunshine Superman songs
$7.59
This digitally remastered release features seven bonus tracks including "Lalena" and "Catch The Wind."
If ever there was an album that should be packaged with a syringe full of insulin, it's HURDY GURDY MAN. However, therein lies the album's considerable charm.
Possibly the most refined examples of Donovan's special brand of imp-like psychedelic pop, these songs, including the hit title track and the superlative "Jennifer Juniper," are as wide-eyed and giggly as Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, minus all the creepiness. Which of course in some ways makes them that much creepier. The lesser-known tracks, like "Get Thy Bearings" and "Entertaining of a Shy Girl," are if anything even more entertainingly wispy and spacey. Good stuff, especially for fans of British psychedelia.
Hurdy Gurdy Man, released in the U.S. in October 1968, was the first really good sounding Donovan album to come out through Epic Records in America, as well as being the most advanced and sophisticated of the artist's albums he'd made up until then. A product of several contacts between Donovan and Eastern ...
| | Donovan Mellow Yellow CD (1967) Bonus Tracks; England; Remastered
Sunshine Superman album
$11.65
Digitally remastered English version contains nine bonus tracks ("Preachin' Love", "Good Time", "There Is A Mountain", "Superlungs" (Second Version), "Epistle To Dippy" (Alternative Arrangement), "Sidewalk (The Observation)" (Demo), "Writer In The Sun" (Demo), "Hampstead Incident" (Demo), and "Museum" (Demo)).
Originally released in 1967, MELLOW YELLOW is a US-only mishmash of singles, outtakes, and old album tracks featuring Donovan at his hippie-era peak. It blends fanciful psychedelia, like the title track--one of his finest singles--with earthier material like "House of Jansch" (a tribute to the Pentangle's Bert Jansch, a longtime friend), the witty Swinging London tribute "Sunny South Kensington," and the downright bleak "Writer in the Sun." This is one of Donovan's most consistently entertaining albums, with very few weak songs and some excellent psych-pop arrangements by a pre-Led Zeppelin John ...
| | Electric Light Orchestra A New World Record - Expanded Edition CD (1976) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Sunshine Superman CD music
$7.59 
Also available in a 3-pack with FACE THE MUSIC and DISCOVERY.
1976's A NEW WORLD RECORD is both a classic of commercial '70s pop and an archetypal ELO album. From the outer-space synths and rich orchestrations that open the album to Jeff Lynne's meticulous production and Beatlesque melodies, A NEW WORLD RECORD is magnificent ear candy. Both ambitious enough to appeal to "serious" rock fans and ultra-catchy enough to sound terrific on Top 40 radio (the plaintively gorgeous, McCartney-like "Telephone Line" and the anthemic "Livin' Thing" were well-deserved smashes), ELO was one of the few '70s bands whose appeal covered ...

Sunshine Superman CD music
$31.29
Instead of Girl Singers, a more apt title for this French collection would have been Girl Swingers, since it assembles some of the most rhythmic female vocalists of the big-band era. Sure, there's plenty of room for a sweet ballad such as Helen Forrest's vocal on "Deep Purple" or Doris Day's era-defining "Sentimental Journey," but the emphasis here is on performances that swing -- lightly or strongly. Fortunately, there were plenty of female singers with swing, and yet more fortunate, the compilers are a talented bunch, unearthing many a song from the archive that will be new to everyone except the most fanatical of collectors. Many of the usual names appear -- Anita O'Day on "Murder, He Says," Ella Fitzgerald on "A Kiss Goodnight," Billie Holiday on "Any Old Time," June Christy on "Willow Weep for Me," Maxine Sullivan on "Gone with the Wind," Helen Ward on "Goody Goody," and even Jo Stafford on "Snootie Little Cutie." Also, there are quite a few of the middle rank of familiar singers, such as Bea Wain, Ginnie Powell, Kitty Kallen, and Martha Tilton. An even larger number of names, however, will be unfamiliar to most listeners ...

| | Dan Reeder Sweetheart CD (2006)
Sunshine Superman songs
$11.65
On Dan Reeder's 2004 debut album, he had a song called "Food and Pussy." On his new one he's got back-to-back songs called "Pussy Titty" and "Pussy Heaven." You might deduce from this that Dan Reeder has a one-track-mind, but you'd be wrong. Reeder's mind has lots of tracks. Like the beer track, for example. Not only does he declare that "I Like Beer," but he also places a nice drawing of a beer mug on the album cover. None of this should give the impression that Reeder focuses only on life's more primal needs, though (for what else, after all, are sex and beer?). He really has plenty to say in general, and most of it's pretty smart and meaningful stuff. He says it all rather well too, without the help of anyone else, on this sophomore effort. Sometimes he's rather quirky -- in the album-opening "Waiting for My Cappuccino," he insists he's been sitting there since 1969 (did cappuccino even exist in 1969?) while another customer's only had to wait a year. At other times he seems a bit bummed: When he puts in the request "Shoot Me to the Moon," it's not because he wants to be an astronaut but rather that he's explored all earthly options. Elsewhere he declares "Just Leave Me Alone Today," and you probably won't want to push the issue. ...
