The compilation was produced by Andrew Sandoval who created a radio series based around the collection. The program features 45's like the ones included on Come to the Sunshine: Soft Pop Nuggets from the WEA Vaults but expands the concept out to feature 1960s releases from every label.
The album was later re-released in the United Kingdom with a slightly revised track listing under the name "A Whole Lot of Rainbows", the title referring to the song by the Salt. Some of the songs were changed owing to EMI's ownership of some of the selections. The Street Corner Society's "Summer Days, Summer Nights" was replaced by Jan & Dean's "I Know My Mind," and The Coronado's "Trip To Loveland" was substituted with "The Sound Of Children" by The Aliis.
Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era is a compilation album of American psychedelic and garage rock singles that were released during the mid-to-late 1960s. It was created by Lenny Kaye, who was a writer and clerk at the Village Oldies record shop in New York. He would later become the lead guitarist for the Patti Smith Group. Kaye produced Nuggets under the supervision of Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman. Kaye conceived the project as a series of roughly eight LP installments focusing on different US regions, but Elektra convinced him that one double album would be more commercially viable. It was released on LP by Elektra in 1972 with liner notes by Kaye that contained one of the first uses of the term "punk rock". It was reissued with a new cover design by Sire Records in 1976. In the 1980s, Rhino Records issued Nuggets in a series of fifteen installments, and in 1998 as a 4-cd box set.

Sunshine pop is a subgenre of pop music that originated in Southern California in the mid-1960s.

While the Beach Boys are noted as prominent influences, the band's music was rarely representative of the genre.
