LIMITED QUANTITIES!The Style that's attracting all this admiration is built around the funky guitar of Davie Allan, a young but extremely successful Hollywood studio musician who decided he would rather make music with his own group. The writhing, pulsing rhythm of The Arrows is supplied by Steven Pugh on electric bass, Larry Brown on drums, and Mike Curb on keyboards -- an expert combination, as you can hear for yourself!--original LP liner notesTrack Listing:1. Apache '652. Tee Pee3. Blue...

LIMITED QUANTITIES!The genius of Davie Allan is very apparent throughout this recording. His fresh interpretations of "William Tell," "Thunderball," and "Ghost Riders in the Sky" give the Arrows a very distinctive and versatile sound. Also introduced in this album are five exciting original compositions. They are "Theme from the Unknown," "Action on the Street," "King Fuzz," "Sorry 'bout That," and "Fuzz Theme."Sidewalk Productions and Tower Records have rush released this album in answer to...

LIMITED QUANTITIES! Building on the roaring radio success of Blue’s Theme, Davie Allan & the Arrows went full throttle on Cycle-Delic Sounds! While known primarily for his aggressive attack, the album features a variety of guitar tones and offers full evidence of Davie’s wide-ranging guitar prowess. The standout selection is the epic, almost seven minute title track, which sees Davie’s Mosrite Fuzzrite battle for supremacy with his wah-wah pedal, resulting in victory for guitar fanatics...

One of the rarest surf soundtrack albums of all time!Original Soundtrack Recording!Introducing. . .The Back-Wash Rhythm Band featuring DAVIE ALLANHailed as “magnificent” by the Los Angeles Times, director Dale Davis’ film The Golden Breed captured surfing at the height of its longboard era. Featuring the sport’s top stars, it was beautifully shot in Hawaii, California and other scenic locales. However, when the film was released in 1968, surfing was in the midst of a revolution. Australian Nat...

Whether going by the alias Richie Allen or his real name Richie Polodor, this fiery young guitarist/engineer/producer would leave an incredible mark on the recording industry. Allen would soon engineer or produce rock legends like Steppenwolf and Three Dog Night, but California never sounded more enticing than on Surfer's Slide, the second of his Imperial Records LPs from 1963. Wild and raw, the way surf music was meant to sound, it corrals all the big Los Angeles session names for a...

First playing guitar on Sandy Nelson's "Teen Beat," then as a session man for many Gary Usher-produced surf sides, Richie Allen would cut two stellar albums of pier-shooting, California magic of his own for Imperial Records. Whether engineering or producing rock legends ranging from Iron Butterfly to the Electric Prunes, Allen (under his real name of Richie Podolor) would strongly make his mark on the recording industry. 1963's Rising Surf, the first of his solo LPs, is a pounding slice of raw...

THE LOST POP-PSYCH CLASSIC OF THE ’60s! The late, great composer/pianist/producer/MENSA member Tandyn Almer first emerged in pop culture consciouness as the writer of the 1966 smash single by The Association, “Along Comes Mary.” Its seemingly innocuous lyric about a girl became a point of intense scrutiny as rumors of marijuana references wafted through a society fraught with generational conflict. One of those listeners on the far side of the gap, Leonard Bernstein, recognized the song’s...

Limited Edition Colored VinylThe late L.A. session guitar genius Jerry Cole has long been worshipped for his work with everyone from the Beach Boys and the Byrds to Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley and by surf fans as the leader of the Spacemen. But unbeknownst to many, Cole was also the driving force behind the Animated Egg, a fictitious band whose lone, self-titled 1967 LP is one of the greatest psychedelic exploitation records ever to hit the budget bins of U.S. chain stores--and eventually...

A relentless perfectionist, Atkins typically took home his session tapes and worked (and reworked) his solos in his home studio until he was satisfied with the results. This audio woodshedding left hours of music in the RCA Victor tape archives, unheard by the public. Until now. This Sundazed Extended Play release unearths three originally unissued recordings from the vaults and a fourth recording that saw release only on a budget album many decades ago.

The great lost album of country music! Recorded at the then-new RCA Victor Studio B in Nashville, this amazing collection of Chet Atkins with brother Jim on vocals was cancelled before release, and the very few existing copies are now multi-thousand-dollar rarities, with one selling in 2012 for an astounding $8,100! Taped as a test for the brand-new Ampex machines and custom RCA mixing console at the facility, the sessions�intended simply for demonstration purposes�turned out so well that Chet...

7" SingleFor our money, there’s nothing quite as cool as a 7” slab of vintage, reverb-pumped 60’s surf wax. And here’s a brand new, super-limited pressing of one of our absolute favorites, “Gypsy Surfer” b/w “Wax ’Em Down” by the slick, Mosrite-slinging Avantis... Fronted by Pat and Lolly Vegas (who would later form 70’s hit-makers ‘Redbone’), The Avantis recorded these two LOUD California stompers in 1963 for Chancellor Records. Yup - a true rarity! And now, pressed on cool, ocean-blue...

The Aztecs’ rare 45 now on Sundazed! Originally issued in 1968, “World of Woe/Why Can’t You Tell Me” is a superb example of teenage guitar-and-organ rock ’n roll just as the style was about to give way to the headier and more complex sounds of the early ’70s. Two four-man symphonies of slinky, sneaky organ and intense lyrics, these exceptional sides are now available in a new picture sleeve with rare photos and new liner notes!

Now On Limited Blue Colored Vinyl!!Named for Duane Eddy’s 1959 hit “Forty Miles of Bad Road”, this six-piece combo from Lake Charles, LA, deep in the heart of Cajun country featured Buz Clark on vocals, lead guitarist Terry Green, rhythm guitarist Briant Smith, Mike Hicks on bass, Kenny Cooley on tambourine and drummer Danny Kimball.The Bad Roads’ first single “Blue Girl,” a razor sharp one-up of the Rolling Stones, along with its eerie flipside “Too Bad” are so authentically 1966 you can...

A lifetime of lessons in six-string-guitar-swing!Jazz-meets-country in an impossibly hot session, ca. 1959! A platter of lightning-fast picking and impeccable taste from the legendary George Barnes! The description on the back of the original album reads: “A wonderful collection of Western favorites that everyone will love—and played in the traditional Western style.” The front cover features a more accurate explanation: “Great guitar solos in modern country jazz style”—as if “modern country...

Jeff Beck’s position in the pantheon of great electric guitarists is indisputable. As visionary a musician as Jimi Hendrix, Beck made his name as the second of three hall of fame stringbenders for the legendary Yardbirds (following in the “Slowhand” shoes of Eric Clapton and preceding the pre-Zep/session gigging 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 immediately launched his solo career...

Sundazed presents the high-definition vinyl reissue of the ultra-rare mono edition of Big Brother & the Holding Company’s 1967 debut! Besides being the album that introduced the world to Janis Joplin, Big Brother & the Holding Company’s first release stands as one of the classic recordings of ’60s rock. Joplin had added her fiery wail to the archetypal Haight-Ashbury acid-rock quintet only months before it entered the studio to make the album, and for the sessions she...

Although they would go on to become one of the most commercially successful acts of the 1970s, most observers agree that Blood, Sweat & Tears’ 1968 debut effort Child Is Father to the Man remains the ambitious ensemble’s finest and most enduring musical statement. The band’s only album under the leadership of legendary singer / keyboardist Al Kooper, Child Is Father to the Man stands with such late-’60s art-pop landmarks as the Zombies’ Odessey and Oracle and...

Growing up in wealthy family in north Chicago, Mike Bloomfield felt the blues call to him from across town. Eschewing his family’s lucrative catering equipment business, he began haunting the blues clubs on the south side, observing and learning from genre masters like Muddy Waters and Sleepy John Estes. In a short time, he had built a solid reputation as a guitar prodigy and began to meet other young blues enthusiasts like Paul Butterfield and Elvin Bishop who shared his passion. Such was his...

This historic 1968 summit meeting features three of the era’s greatest musical talents: blues guitar hero extraordinaire Mike Bloomfield, multi-talented keyboard visionary Al Kooper and Buffalo Springfield/CSNY founder and ace axeman Stephen Stills. After achieving prominence for his work as a member of the Blues Project and Blood, Sweat and Tears, and for his role in Bob Dylan’s transition to electric rock, Kooper hit upon the idea of cutting a rock album using the same approach that was the...

In the wake of the success of their seminal 1968 Super Session album, blues-steeped guitar hero Mike Bloomfield (formerly of the Butterfield Blues Band and the Electric Flag) and multi-talented keyboardist/singer Al Kooper (ex-Blues Project and Blood, Sweat and Tears) teamed up again for a historic series of joint performances at San Francisco's legendary Fillmore West, which are documented on The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper. The resulting live album, culled from three...

Blue Cheer’s second album, Outsideinside, fully matches its predecessor’s primal power. The last Blue Cheer release to feature the beloved lineup of Stephens, Peterson and Whaley, Outsideinside is a bracing orgy of volume, distortion and aggression, with such highlights as “Just a Little Bit,” “Come and Get It,” the instrumental “Magnolia Caboose Babyfinger” and the band’s distinctive take on the Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction.”Sundazed’s compact disc edition is sourced from the original...

Blue Cheer looms large in the annals of hard rock, laying down the sonic foundations of heavy metal, and serving as a crucial influence on the birth of punk, grunge and stoner rock. While the rest of the rock world was mellowing out and embracing the spirit of the Summer of Love, the seminal San Francisco power trio was churning out ballsy blues-rock anthems whose fuzz-heavy, adrenaline-charged intensity helped to alter the course of contemporary music.Vincebus Eruptum, Blue Cheer's landmark...

First-ever domestic CD issue of the group’s in-demand second album, featuring “Ride Captain Ride” When Blues Image launched into their 1970 chart smash, “Ride Captain Ride,” the smoking lamp was always lit. But, with their subtle use of Latin Rhythms — featuring tantalizing fretboard work by Mike Pinera and the addictive conga drums of Joe Lala — this Tampa, Fla. combo proved themselves anything but a one hit wonder on their out of nowhere classic, Open.

Garage/punk/psychedelia pioneers! The Blues Magoos launched their recording career with the LP Psychedelic Lollipop. The equally impressive Electric Comic Book refines the band's mix of rock 'n' roll and day-glo psychedelia.

Hailing from NYC, The Blues Magoos took the folk/blues soundtrack of their mid-sixties Greenwich Village contemporaries and forged it into a tough, garage/psych hybrid that attracted fans as quickly as it angered folk club owners, incensed by the band’s volume and unhinged stage show! Signed by Mercury Records in 1966, their inaugural single for the label, a reading of John D. Loudermilk’s “Tobacco Road,” was a churning 4 1/2 minute(!) plunge into crazed guitar/organ/drum/bass pyrotechnics...

Garage/punk/psychedelia pioneers! The Blues Magoos launched their recording career with a major smash, hitting the Top Five with the brash garage-punk anthem "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet." That tune is just one of the multiple pleasures of Psychedelic Lollipop, notable as one of the first albums (along with the 13th Floor Elevators' debut) to use the word "psychedelic" in its title. The band balances swaggering proto-punk attitude, a Beatlesque pop sensibility and adventurous acid-pop...

And Now!, Booker T. & the MG’s third album, marked a major change in the band’s lineup with Donald “Duck” Dunn replacing Lewie Steinberg on bass. The addition of Dunn’s funkier style is in full evidence on tracks like “In the Midnight Hour” and “Think,” the latter song also featuring blistering Telecaster licks from six-string stalwart Steve Cropper.

Propelled by Booker T. Jones' smoky organ and the funky guitar bursts of Steve Cropper, "Green Onions"—the first chart-topper by Booker T. & The MG's—slithered across the 1962 airwaves, followed immediately by an album every bit as savory. Hot on the heels of that first MG's smash, here's a second helping, "Mo' Onions," as well as the exquisite pop delights of "Stranger On The Shore" and the unsurpassed after-hours smolder of "Behave Yourself."The original Green Onions LP by the peerless...

Booker T. & The MG's smoked the charts once again in 1967 with the fabulously slinky "Hip Hug-Her"—just like they'd never left. As house band for Memphis' Stax Records, backing Otis Redding, Sam & Dave and Wilson Pickett, the MG's had written the book on instrumental soul music, and the Hip Hug-Her album impeccably testifies to the greatness of Booker T. Jones, Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn and Alvin Jackson. The MG's versions of the Young Rascals' "Groovin'" and Bobby Hebb's "Sunny" were so...

VinylBooker T. & the MG's � the heart, soul and pulse of Stax Records � cut their incredible holiday album, In the Christmas Spirit in mid-1966. With their unique, soulful groove, Jones, Cropper, Dunn and Jackson interpret 12 holiday classics, infusing each and every track with funk, taste and style. Just listen to that chiming organ, that pulsing bass, that ringing guitar�and is that 12 drummers drumming? No, it�s just Al Jackson, the man with a beat so big that the elves can hear it all the...

Following up their smash debut album Green Onions, 1965’s Soul Dressing keeps the MG’s party going in fine fashion. From the first smack of Al Jackson’s crisp-as-a-potato-chip snare attack, the groove never lets up on these 12 original tracks. Guitarists will want to pay special attention to Steve Cropper’s aggressive, proto-fuzz/funk Telecastering (as surely, Jimi Hendrix, Ernie Isley and Billy Gibbons were all doing at the time). Add to that mix the cooking organ and high-voltage electric...

A cryptic aura still surrounds the whereabouts and personnel lineage of this (presumably) Los Angeles, California based combo. “Little Bad News”, the first of two Chattahoochee label singles issued during the latter half of 1965, featured keyboard player Dennis Culver alongside the sneering, sinister sounding vocal howls from lead singer, Lynn Ready (also a former, short-lived member of Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse Club Mouseketeers in 1957). Before fading away, the Bostweeds were contracted in...
