Although the lushly-arranged, harmony-based late 60s Sunshine Pop sound is most readily associated with America in general and the sun-kissed California region in particular, the reality is that it was always an international phenomenon. What A Groovy Day is a thrilling four-hour celebration of Britain's contribution to the genre, ranging from household names (The New Seekers, Cliff Richard, Petula Clark, The Hollies, Herman's Hermits) to terminally obscure acts like Infinity and The Mellow Yellow, who failed to release anything at the time. Naturally our compilation includes contributions from the two uncrowned kings of the 60s British harmony pop sound, vocalist Tony Rivers (who provides us with our title song) and studio all-rounder John Carter, represented as both performer and songwriter. Other highlights come from posthumously-acclaimed Sunshine Pop maestros Design, a trio of music library recordings by the largely overlooked but hugely talented backroom auteur Barbara Moore and, perhaps most intriguingly of all, the first-ever release of The Sweet's first demo recording, cut when they were still known as Sweetshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat a Groovy Day - Harmony Grass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gentlemen of the Park - Episode Six\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Like the Tide Like the Ocean - Force West\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e At the Third Stroke - the Picadilly Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Alexander Bell Believes - Alexander Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Painting the Day - Chuckles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She Won't Show Up Tonight - John Carter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sunshine Games - the Tremeloes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I've Got You on My Mind - Dorian Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fly Paradise - Barbara Moore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mr. Pseudo-Fabulous - Weavers Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dropping Out - the Orange Bicycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Company I Keep - Ken Smart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Yoyo Thoughts - Philwit ; Pegasus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Make Up Your Mind - the Bystanders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Saturday's Child - the Spectrum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Georgy Girl - the Seekers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Going Home - Agincourt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Loonin' - the Wilson Malone Voiceband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Summer Dreaming - Tony Rivers ; the Castaways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mum and Dad - Pinkerton's Colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Birds and Bees - Warm Sounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When Jezamine Goes (Demo Version) - Marty Wilde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Some Other Someday - West Coast Consortium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Sound of the Summer - the Chocolate Watch Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gently As You Feel - the Flies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Colour My World - Petula Clark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Early Morning Sun - the Californians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why Shouldn't I?
