Various Artists - Flowers In The Afternoon: Late 1960's Sunshine [RSD Black Friday 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.
