The Id was a garage band made up of turned on, hopped up California hippie types who were way ahead of their time, or were they well-seasoned, multi-talented studio and performing musicians? Paul Arnold conceived The Id, composed and scored...

The Trashmen's defining moment, 1963's "Surfin' Bird," is perhaps the ultimate lightning-in-a-bottle record. Their first true studio recording, it captures the group's interminable energy and mastery of live performance. But it also is the culmination of spirit and experiment that turned it into something new and, from the perspective of 50 years, unique. The sound wasn't one that you could build a career by repeating, but it hasn't mattered; the swaggering performance has proven to be a...

A gonzo crew of shaved-headed, sax-blowing, reverb-stomping maniacs, the fivesome tore it up on the stages of unsuspecting West Coast teen haunts and hit the big screen via the 1964 B-Movie “Bikini Beach.” The album features “Penetration,” one of the undisputed all-time surf cornerstones! Back in the 1960s, when surf music was burning up and down the beaches of the Southern California coastline, it was often a gimmick that made one band stand out from the others.

A heady and adventurous experience with ever-shifting elements of jazz, fuzz guitar, blues rock and psychedelia! Graffiti’s origins can be traced back to 1967 and the dissolution of The Hangmen, a popular Washington DC area garage rock act well noted for the proto-punk stylings of their singles “What A Girl Can’t Do” and “Faces.” Singer Tony Taylor, a late addition to the band’s lineup, recruited guitarist George Strunz to the group and soon announced the band would pursue a more psychedelic...

One voice, one guitar, one tranquilized trip! Isaacson’s voice is rich and warm, with hints of weary and optimism.

An interpreter of sound, his takes on these familiar originals are introspective, well thought variations that he truly makes his own. Fresh from the attic of the acid archives, this first ever reissue of this ‘71 gem features unissued...

Autour de Lucie’s follow-up to their geographical barrier busting debut sees the band incorporating subtle keyboards and electronic beats to their well-established sensuous dreamy pop charm. “Autour De Lucie’s self-titled debut album was a strong collection of French-language rock-pop, but their follow-up, “Immobile,” is nothing short of exquisite. Vocalist Valerie Leuillot’s angelic vocals cover a greater range this time around, and musically...

Over 25 years after their buoyant & breezy electro-acoustic debut busted language barriers showing that French language music could build a buzz on all sides of the Atlantic, Autour de Lucie’s debut finally gets the vinyl treatment! “From the opening bird calls and ringing-bell guitar chimes of captivating lead track "L'accord parfait," Paris' demure Autour de Lucie serves notice that winning Anglo-style pop need not be a slave to language or geographical barriers. Gorgeous and luxuriously...

One of Sundazed all-time most-requested albums! Featuring the jack-hammer hit-singles "Just Like Me" and "Steppin' Out", Paul Revere & The Raiders loudly launched their chart-topping career with this fuzz 'n Farfisa-filled rocket, their 2nd longplayer for Columbia Records. Make no mistake: lead vocalist Mark Lindsay wrote the book on growling 60's garage vocals starting with these very tracks, and the entire platter screams with attitude, snarl and snort to spare! Our CD release houses the...

Recorded in 1967, the Hollies' take on psychedelia, though less kaleidoscopic than that of the Beatles and the Stones, was every bit as riveting. And nobody could touch the Manchester duo of Allan Clarke and Graham Nash when it came to those goose-pimply harmonies. "King Midas In Reverse" proved the crowning achievement -- an all-stops-pulled, hip pocket, rainbow-symphony that will live forever. This Sundazed CD release marks the first domestic issue of this incredible album, complete with...

The Sonics - fronted by Gerry Roslie's banshee vocals - blow-torched the mists of Seattle in 1966 like the fiery exhaust from a jumbo-jet. With their trademark scorched-earth guitar sounds, they created a mind- numbing assortment of Sonics' classics: "You Got Your Head On Backwards," "Like No Other Man," "Psycho," "The Witch" and simultaneously reinvented garage rock powerhouses like "I'm A Man," "Diddy Wah Diddy" and much more. This heavy-duty compact disc edition of the group's 1966 Jerden...

Led by the smash hit title track, 1967's Your Tender Loving Care extended Buck Owens' best-selling album run. Backed by the unparalleled mastery of the Buckaroos, Buck romps through the joyfully rollicking "Sam's Place," a chart-topping song inspired by a real Richmond, CA saloon. Featuring the deft left hand of guitarist Don Rich, the song remains a fan favorite. Elsewhere on the album, Buck gives a heartfelt reading of former Buckaroo Merle Haggard's song, "House of Memories." Need more? How...

Based around numbers he was performing in his live shows, 1963's On the Bandstand features a mix of self-penned songs and then-current country favorites. Besides Buck, the spotlight shines on individual band members throughout the album. Speaking of the band, they were mere months away from being named The Buckaroos, courtesy of Merle Haggard who served briefly as their bass player before moving on to his own solo career. The sole hit on the original version of the album was "Kickin' Our...

Plainly and simply, the incendiary singles Jerry Lee Lewis cut for Sun Records in the mid-1950s and early 1960s left a flaming footprint on the face of popular music and forged the die of rock 'n' roll itself. Which means that when it comes to rock 'n' roll, it doesn't get any more essential than Sundazed's roundup of 28 of the Killer's rowdiest, raunchiest, and most rollicking Sun sides; explosive cuts like "Great Balls of Fire," "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On," "Crazy Arms," "Breathless,"...

To hear Johnny Cash's swaggering Sun Records-era material is to marvel at one of the primal source-streams of what was fast becoming the headwaters of rock 'n' roll. Cash's craggy, lunch-bucket vocals on gleaming original versions of songs like "Cry! Cry! Cry!," "Get Rhythm," "Big River," and "I Walk the Line," backed by the signature guitar style of Luther Perkins and Marshall Grant?s steady bass, are really just the tip of the iceberg corralled on this stunning collection. "Folsom Prison...

Though the '60s garage band explosion was felt in every corner of the country, the local uprising of talent in Chicago thrived unlike anywhere else. The Windy City had the perfect infrastructure in place; from a booming population of teenagers, to hip music stores in every suburb, a proliferation of teen clubs willing to take their money, and a powerhouse radio station (WLS) equally up to promoting local bands.When it came to giving local groups a shot at 45 rpm fame, no Chicago label--not...

Progressive rock bent with a considerable amount of rock ‘n’ roll gospel soul! Sanctuary’s virtuosity is undeniable, and every song displays each member’s considerable talents. The album is abundant with soaring and passionate vocal arrangements that are carried on high by the lively interplay of Norm Weinberg’s percussive flurries as they weave their way through a tapestry of flutes, strings, and guitars. Deeply resonant keyboards set the foundation for the band’s sound, and in fitting,...
