1967 – Sunshine Tomorrow is an expanded reissue of the 1967 album Wild Honey by American rock band the Beach Boys. It was released by Capitol Records on June 30, 2017, and consists largely of previously unreleased material that the group had produced after abandoning Smile in mid-1967. Included is the first ever complete stereo mix of Wild Honey, live performances, outtakes, session highlights, and additional material sourced from Smiley Smile (1967) and the unreleased live effort Lei'd in Hawaii, both of which immediately preceded the Wild Honey sessions.Rock Cellar Magazine Staff Beach Boys to Release '1967 – Sunshine Tomorrow' Set on 6/30, Full of Rare Material http://www.rockcellarmagazine.com/2017/05/23/beach-boys-1967-sunshine-tomorrow-wild-honey-album-rare-recordings-brian-wilson/#sthash.0Fa5IiqF.dpbs Rock Cellar Magazine May 23, 2017 May 23, 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20170809213118/http://www.rockcellarmagazine.com/2017/05/23/beach-boys-1967-sunshine-tomorrow-wild-honey-album-rare-recordings-brian-wilson/#sthash.0Fa5IiqF.dpbs August 9, 2017 dead

AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that the album "feels like a gift: it bolsters the argument that the period following Pet Sounds and Smile was no less creative than that golden age. ... Wild Honey appropriately takes center stage on this project, with a vivid new stereo mix." Pitchforks said that it "finds them firing in all creative directions at once for a brief, beautiful moment just as their wave started to recede. ... the magic of Sunshine Tomorrow is that the Beach Boys are all of these at once: chaotic and relaxed, naive and sophisticated, pop-oriented and intimate. Brian is both present and slipping away." Music journalist Tim Sommer believed the new stereo mix transformed Wild Honey from a "flat and peculiar ... afterthought of Smiley Smile" to a "deep and delightful, human, rollicking, humming and rolling [album]."Sommer Tim Tim Sommer A Brilliant New Compilation Captures The Beach Boys' Most Pivotal Year http://www.laweekly.com/music/new-beach-boys-compilation-1967-sunshine-tomorrow-features-a-wild-honey-stereo-mix-and-more-8404851 LA Weekly July 7, 2017 July 7, 2017 May 30, 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20180530121445/http://www.laweekly.com/music/new-beach-boys-compilation-1967-sunshine-tomorrow-features-a-wild-honey-stereo-mix-and-more-8404851 dead
Pastes Robert Ham surmised that the "objective, it seems, is to inspire a collective reappraisal of a period in the band’s career when they were still respected critically and beloved commercially, but struggling creatively ... 1967 succeeds in that humble goal but just barely." Steve Marinucci from AXS characterized the original albums as "confusing", and that "there's little here to recommend to casual listeners, though certainly Beach Boys diehards will be attracted to it."Marinucci Steve Review: The Beach Boys' '1967 – Sunshine Tomorrow' is as confusing as the original albums https://www.axs.com/review-the-beach-boys-1967-sunshine-tomorrow-is-as-confusing-as-the-or-120511 July 3, 2017
