Note: 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die features the cover of the US version, but refers to the UK version of the album in the review. The reason for the difference in versions is discussed in the Sunshine Superman Wikipedia entry.
Sunshine Superman is a trippy album. There is a mix of folk, rock and roll and blues songs. A heavy bass guitar groove runs through and unites all the songs.
This album is what Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band would have sounded like had it been filtered through Love You To from Revolver. The album is heavy enough to rock out to, but also mellow enough to relax to.
I didn't expect to like this album very much because I think the album cover looks terrible. It makes Donovan look like a silly teen idol. However, this album has some excellent folk songs. Donovan's use of the sitar is smart, too. It really helps to create a psychedelic aura.
There isn't a bad song on this album, but the stand outs are: Sunshine Superman, Three King Fisher, Bert's Blues, Season of the Witch, Guinevere and The Fat Angel.
