"Holy %$#@, that has to be the greatest LP packaging
I have ever seen/clutched/whatever."

-Jeff Jarema

"This is a work of art and the fact that that a vinyl version has been given this much love is a real testament to what kind of company Sundazed is!"

-Freddy Fortune

"Arguably, and based on the power of the debut alone, the greatest west coast psych band of the 60s. Looks like a keeper!
-Lee Jackson

"This release provides access to many unreleased gems... This is real stuff, music which leaves most current wannabe bands in the dust (even their throwaway tracks are steller). Anyone interested in good music should add this release to their collection. 'Nuff said."

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND
Singles 1966—69 7 x 7" Single Box Set

Sundazed is proud to release The Velvet Underground Singles 1966—69, a 7 x 7" single box set honoring the legendary New York combo's 7" vinyl output in their rare mono versions. The set features exact reproductions of Velvet Underground singles, two of them with their original picture sleeves. The singles are packaged in a distinctively designed box, along with rare vintage photos and new liner notes by Rolling Stone's David Fricke (who also penned the acclaimed notes for the historic 1995 Velvets CD box set Peel Slowly and See).

The Velvet Underground—whose membership included Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Maureen Tucker, Doug Yule and Nico—introduced numerous sonic and thematic innovations that laid much of the groundwork for punk and alternative rock. Although they're now acknowledged as one of the most influential bands in rock history, during their existence the Velvets barely registered on mainstream radar, and were often reviled by mainstream observers as well as hippie-era arbiters of cool. But, as Fricke writes in the new set's liner notes, "Somewhere, in another rock & roll universe, the Velvet Underground are more than a legendary band. They are stars, with hit singles—the original seven-inch masterpieces inside this box."

"Exquisite job on the Velvet Underground Singles Box. I always expect the very best whenever you guys do a project, and somehow you always manage to exceed my highest expectations. I hope you'll do more boxes like this one. I'd buy every one of them."

VARIOUS ARTISTS
2131 South Michigan Avenue: 60's Garage & Psychedelia from USA and Destination Records

Sundazed once again arrives to the rescue with an exhaustive dive into the pure, undiluted garage side of USA and Destination Records; tapping into everything from priceless artifacts from the Lost Agency, the Foggy Notions, and Park Avenue Playground to label hitmakers the Buckinghams, the Cryan' Shames, and the Flock at their most rockin'. There's so much impossibly great music on these labels, we had to expand this collection to 40 tracks.

"Hi Bob,
Just got back to LA from several weeks up in Napa...drinking great wine and celebrating my 71st birthday to find 2131 South Michigan Avenue. Your team developed a truly fantastic package and everyone who made it happen deserves my appreciation and compliments.
Warmest regards,

MOBY GRAPE
The Place and the Time

While 1967's Moby Grape is widely acknowledged as a classic (and one of rock's greatest debut albums), the subsequent Wow, Moby Grape '69 and Truly Fine Citizen are all underrated gems with much to recommend them. It's a measure of the musicians' abundance of talent and creativity that, despite the multiple roadblocks that they confronted, Moby Grape recorded prolifically and cut a wealth of originally unreleased material. The Place and the Time offers a scintillating assortment of rare tracks cut during the band's heady 1967-1968 heyday. Encompassing audition recordings, album outtakes, alternate versions, live material and more, the recordings offer a powerful testament to the remarkable rapport that made Moby Grape such a unique force.

"I just wanted to let you know how cool your recent Moby Grape release The Place and the Time is. This disc is in my CD player all the time now. As an avid Moby Grape fan I had purchased your Wow CD with the bonus tracks and I already had the 2-CD collection Vintage so I thought I had covered most of the important unreleased tracks, but your cd has really turned my head around. Even though I was familiar with many of the tracks on The Place and the Tim , putting them in that context changed everything!!! The CD holds up as true Moby Grape release rather than a hodgepod of tracks culled from the first four albums.

I also purchased your Byrds Live at Royal Albert Hall 1971 release which is also great. I read that Sundazed may release more Byrds live CDs which is awesome! Do you know what's next? In any case keep up the great work and I'll keep buying."

"Mono is the way to hear this album, plus the second LP of bonus tracks is equally fantastic. When I met The Remains in Nashville in late April, I asked them to sign my copy. The Remains themselves are also pleased with Sundazed's work, btw."
-Alison Hayes

WE THE PEOPLE
Too Much Noise

Garage fans agree: We The People's raging, tough-as-nails punk tracks "Mirror of Your Mind" and "You Burn Me Up and Down" rate among the era's best.
Sourced from the original analog masters, here are We the People's three scarce and essential Challenge single sides plus material recorded for the label but unreleased at the time—all of it in raw, skull-crushing fidelity on CD and high-definition vinyl.

MARK SEBASTIAN
Bleecker Street
At an age when many young kids would be more concerned with how to score the phone number of that cute girl in Geometry class, Mark Sebastian wrote a song that shot straight to #1 on the national pop charts. Mark’s big brother, John Sebastian, was the frontman for the Lovin’ Spoonful, already permanent residents of the U.S. Top Ten with a series of 1965–66 smashes that included “Do You Believe in Magic,” “You Didn’t Have to Be So Nice” and “Daydream.” After he played his sparkling new song, “Summer in the City,” for his older brother, Mark’s life would never be the same.

Hello Bob Irwin and Sundazed. I want to thank you for the Gram Parsons: Another Side of This Life!
I've been a fan of Parsons since I heard his solo albums and him with the Burritos in 2005. I'm 24 years old so I wasn't there to see the greatness of this man.

I just want to tell you I was really inspired by this album and it made a big influence on me as a songwriter aswell back in 2006.

These stripped down acoustic songs are so real and pure you can almost feel like you're in the same room as Gram, it's just surreal.

High Tide
Sea Shanties LP
Continuing in its ongoing mission to return underappreciated vintage psychedelic gems to the marketplace, Sundazed presents High Tide's beloved 1969 British cult classic Sea Shanties as it was originally meant to be heard, in the 12" vinyl LP format.
A one-of-a-kind collision of psychedelia, prog and heavy rock, Sea Shanties embodies the darker edge of psychedelic rock, while presaging the wave of heavy metal combos that would soon emerge in Britain. Although it's been out of print in the United States for decades, Sea Shanties has attracted a fervent cult following in recent years, making this release a particularly timely one.

"Loud at any volume. One of the most intense albums I've ever heard."

Jeff Beck
Truth (Mono Edition)
Jeff Beck, as visionary a guitarist, in his own way, as Jimi Hendrix, certainly heads anyone's list of most exciting rock 'n' roll fretboard whizzes ever. Beck made his name as the second of three hall of fame stringbenders for the equally legendary Yardbirds (following in the shoes of Eric Clapton and preceding the pre-Zep Jimmy Page).

Known for his blistering leads and the wild chances he took as one of the first axemen to widely employ feedback during a solo, Beck hit the ground running when he left the Yardbirds in 1967 and would cut a pair of solo albums that didn't miss a beat from the greatness of his previous work.

Finally! The way the LP should always be heard.. in glorious Mono!..and that's the Truth!

Chocolate Watch Band
No Way Out

Sundazed is totally stoked to announce the reissue of the first two albums by the Chocolate Watch Band, high on everyone's list as one of the most exciting garage bands ever.

No Way Out kicks things off with an eye-opening nugget, "Let's Talk About Girls." It's a song that perfectly blends a stomping Chuck Berry rhythm track with the happening "boss sound," the psychedelic guitar. "Come On," an early Stones single, is given the perfect Jagger paint job, while "Are You Gonna Be There (At the Love-In)" captures the new tribal hippie culture in a nutshell. Sourced from the original analog masters!

Listening to it now! Once again Sundazed does it again! Great sound, great art reproduction and you gotta love that they used the original Tower labels on the discs. It's the little things troops!
