Sunshine Dream is the third double-album compilation of The Beach Boys' music to be compiled by their former label, Capitol Records (following the earlier Endless Summer and Spirit of America). Released in 1982, the album features singles and album tracks ranging from 1964 to 1969, and also the debut for "The Beach Boys Medley" to appear on an album, which reached number 12 in 1981 as a single. The album was compiled and released while The Beach Boys were contracted with CBS Records and, as such, is compilation of previously released material and not new material, so it doesn't go in the Beach Boys' released albums count.
Due to the appearance of more recent compilations, Sunshine Dream has long since been deleted.
