NEW * Sunshine Superman - Donovan {Stereo} 1966

1966.....#1 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #1 U.S. Cash Box Top 100, #2 UK Singles Chart, #2 Australia
Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Sunshine Superman" is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released as a single in the United States through Epic Records (Epic 5-10045) in July 1966, but due to a contractual dispute the United Kingdom release was delayed until December 1966, where it appeared on Donovan's previous label, Pye Records (Pye 7N 17241). The single was backed with "The Trip" on both the US and UK releases. It has been described as "[one of the] classics of the era", and as "the quintessential bright summer sing along".
"Sunshine Superman" reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States (Donovan's only single to do so) and subsequently became the title track of his third album. When finally released in the UK, it reached No. 2. A different mix of "The Trip" (without harmonica) is also included in the album. The single version of "Sunshine Superman" was edited down from its original four-and-a-half minutes to just over three, and this version was also used on the album; the full-length version made its debut on the Donovan's Greatest Hits LP in 1969.

Weighing the massive influence Donovan - especially "Sunshine Superman" had on Glitter Rock, David Bowie, and New Wave Rock is just too hard to wrap my arms around. It's THAT trend-setting.

[DLRS]

Once every few years, this song pops into my head for no apparent reason. It’s really such an ear worm and I must listen to it

[julietteimissmyfriend]

I been looking for this song for ages I always listen to it on the radio but never know the name

First heard this high in '68 at Bill's house while ditching class and hearing it now while high, retired, in '24.

Donovan actually influenced the Beatles a lot in the flower power years. Got them into mediation & the Maharishi & the India trip, out there, nothing to do, he taught them how to fingerpick acoustic guitar & you hear it to the fore on the White Album when they returned. The Beatles always grabbed a vogue & made it their own.

[Five-sojv]

My first ever favourite record, I remember as a kid, my transistor under my pillow, listening to radio Caroline, so long ago, my life's beginnings

[markandresen]

An extraordinary single, which doesn't get any less odd with the passing of time.

[rossdelain]

Donovan always reminded me a bit of Marc Bolan.
