Additionally, either of the two versions of the mid-tempo rocker 'Miss Attraction' would have been a welcome addition to their earlier releases. Likewise, the song is a minor chord masterpiece in the same vein as their previous hit, 'Tomorrow.' The 'California Girls' vocal tag is a nod to the Beach Boys, with whom SAC shared many a late-'60s performance stage. 'Small Package' is reminiscent of the band's sound, circa Wake Up.It's Tomorrow.

The disc is certainly full of strong material, despite the decidedly aimless direction. With managerial and other behind-the-scenes issues continuing to plague them, there are no signs of cohesion within the grooves. The dichotomy in the material on Good Morning Starshine is indicative that SAC had pretty much run their course. Although there are sonic vestiges and remnants of the band's former self - such as the disc's pseudo-hippie title track - by all accounts this was the antithesis of what the band had been up until this point. The music has shifted away from the mix of punky psychedelia such as 'Love Me Again' and 'The World Is on Fire,' inheriting a much more aggressive, bluesy approach à la Grand Funk Railroad or even (gasp) MC5. Also of note is the fact that all of Bunnell's songwriting credits for material on this album actually belong to Gunnels. Prior to recording the album, the band underwent a somewhat drastic personnel change - replacing longtime members George Bunnell (bass/vocals) and Randy Seol (drums/vocals) with Jimmy Pitman (guitar/vocals) and Gene Gunnels (drums), respectively. As with their previous discs, Good Morning Starshine is a mixed affair.

This is the fourth and final long-player of new material from Strawberry Alarm Clock (SAC).
