Sunshine Tomorrow attinge alle registrazioni delle session che produssero gli album Smiley Smile e Wild Honey, entrambi usciti nel 1967, ai quali i Beache Boys iniziarono a lavorare dopo aver abbandonato il progetto Smile. Per celebrare i 50 anni dall’uscita di Wild Honey, il disco verrà ripubblicato anche in versione vinile 180 grammi.
I due dischi del box Sunshine Tomorrow contengono una versione rimasterizzata di WIld Honey, compreso il mix stereo originale, con l’aggiunta di 54 registrazioni rare del periodo. Tra queste ultime, l’album dal vivo inedito Lei’d in Hawaii, altre versioni dal vivo registrate a fine anni ’60 e brani inediti dalle session di Wild Honey e Smiley Smile.
