Album Details

There's an Old Adage that During the '60s Anything Seemed Possible. Certainly, the Unlikely Group of Middle-aged Producers, Studio Vocalists, and Reformed Folkies Featured on this Collection Proved this to Be True. One Must Remember, it was a Time When the Mamas and the Papas were Actually Considered a Rock Band, and the Association Claimed They Played "Bluer Blues Than the Rolling Stones. Nevertheless, a Critical Reappraisal of These Sophisticated Sounds Has Provided a Beautiful Afterlife for Sunshine Pop. It is Now Widely Coveted, Collected, and Consumed.. So, Join Us in the Park, at the Beach, Or Wherever Your Soft Dreams Usually Transpire. 'a Whole Lot of Rainbows' Gathers 24 Soft Pop Treasures Released Between 1967 and 1969 -- None of them Available on Rhino's Nuggets Boxed Sets. Ultra-groovy Packaging Includes a 22-page Booklet with Colour Photos and Detailed Track Notes by Writer/Compiler Andrew Sandoval.

Customer Reviews:

Silly, Refreshing Fun.......2007-02-19

Not enough songwriting or musicianship to make this more than 3 stars, but it is fun. All tracks from '66-'68.
These songs make The Beatles sound like Black Sabbath.

Indulge Your Sweet Tooth.......2006-02-15

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.
