Various Artists - Flowers in the Afternoon: Late 1960's Sunshine [Ltd Ed Translucent Sunshine Orange Vinyl] (RSDBF 2025)

The third entry in Craft’s psych/garage RSD trilogy (following the beloved Poppies and Double Whammy) spotlights sunshine pop—those harmony-stacked, radio-ready singles that shimmered through the late’60s. Producer/archivist Alec Palao curates a kaleidoscope of rare and hard-to-find cuts, including two previously unissued gems. An extensive new essay from GRAMMY nominated music historian and compilation producer Palao offers insight into the singular sound that defined the popular music of a decade. Pressed on Sunshine orange translucent vinyl, and limited to 3,300 copies worldwide.
