This band was formerly known as The Astronauts. In 1967 they left their surf sound behind and made a 45 with a different line-up (Sally Go 'Round The Roses/Pay The Price) as Sunshine Ward. They moved to Los Angeles, got signed by Capitol and released their self-titled album (Capitol ST 2964 / 1968). It's a pretty West Coast sounding affair but it seems they were a bit late on the spot. All in all it's a good one and even producer David Axelrod couldn't ruin it. Three of their tracks (City Sidewalks, Sanctuary and Good Ole Friends) were also recorded by Yankee Dollar.Tracklist:
- Medley: My Time/Take A Long Look
- City Sidewalks
