Sunshine Music was THE source for Jan & Dean information in the United States in the very late 1970s into the mid-1980s. The fanzine, edited by Mike "Doc Rock" Kelly was the successor to the Ripped Baggies Club and had occassional oversight by Dean Torrence himself. Fanzines at the time took major effort to produce. Without access to the inexpensive computers and resulting typography we have today, franzines like this were created with typewriters, article reprints, glue sticks and love for the topics they covered. Sunshine Music is a product of the times and captures a snapshot of the band during their Phase II comeback. First and foremost, it's a fan publication made by fans for other fans. Sourced from original copy machine reproduction, this book holds the same charm they offered at the time. Relive the fun by reading the articles, the fan letters and the ads for everything Jan & Dean
