"I've never written an Amazon review before, but felt the need to defend this great CD after seeing a reviewer describe it as mediocre. It is anything but. I own all the other Nuggets CDs, plus numerous other 60s various artist compilations including The Perfumed Garden, We Can Fly, Psychedelic Microdots, etc. This one is by far my favorite. Granted, the songs here are light and upbeat, more pop than dark psychedelia. But if you like that sort of thing, these are truly rare gems. The songs on Come To The Sunshine are well written, performed by talented artists, and the production and recording values are impressive. It will truly surprise you as to just how weird and wonderful the music from the 1960's could be. And if you aren't completely crazy about it the first time you play it, I predict you'll fall in love with it on your second listening. Enjoy!"

Hang your ups and downs when you come to the sunshine.

"Like the title says, this is a collection of "soft pop nuggets from the WEA vaults". Most of the songs here are very obscure. The only real hit here was the title song by Harpers Bizarre. And Monkees fans will probably remember "Someday Man", although it wasn't a hit. The rest of the songs will probably be unfamiliar to almost everybody. But just because they weren't hits, doesn't mean they aren't good. On the contrary, most of the songs here are very good. There are a lot of sophisticated soft pop gems on this CD. Fans of groups like the Association and the Tokens should really enjoy it."
