Come To The Sunshine: Soft Pop Nuggets CD (2004)
Other Voices CD discography
$22.45
There's a certain uniformity of sound here -- lots of luxurious strings, multi-part harmonies, horns, and keyboards, very little in the way of trippy studio effects -- but each group has a different spin on this signature sound, which keeps things interesting over the course of 24 tracks. There are recognizable names here -- more so than on the original Nuggets -- but no charting hits, and it's easy to listen to "Talking to the Flowers" without realizing that it's the Everly Brothers (although Davy Jones' voice on the Paul Williams-composed "Someday Man" is a giveaway that it's the Monkees). Collectors treasured rare singles before Nuggets, but the series created an aesthetic that emphasized the raw, trippy, wild, and woolly over the soft, lush, harmony-laden psychedelicized sounds of AM pop radio. Where previous installments of Nuggets concentrated on singles, Come to the Sunshine is a true excavation of the vaults, picking overlooked album tracks and neglected singles from a cornucopia of WEA-owned labels, including Warner Bros., Cotillion, Jubilee, Valiant, Reprise, and Atco. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Since the first Nuggets in 1972, the entire series has been grounded in the gritty, dirty sound of garage rock, so much so that Rhino's 2001 box set of British and foreign psychedelic nuggets favored harder rock over the fruity, precious side of British psych. On that level, Come to the Sunshine is not just successful, but it's a definitive portrait and introduction to appeals of soft AM pop. If there are no outright classics here, as there was on the very first Nuggets (which is truly the comparison point, since that was the first serious multi-artist retrospective of psychedelic garage rock, and this is the first serious multi-artist retrospective of soft psychedelic pop), that's almost beside the point, since unlike garage rock, the song takes a back seat to the production and the overall feel.
