Originally released in 68, the Sundazed version of Afterglow’s self titled debut is taken from the original tapes along with four bonus tracks! From chiming folk-rock and the perfumed bliss of lite-psych, to extra-terrestrial weirdness and down-to-earth pop, this Oregon quintet created a uniquely strange album with an afterglow that's already lasted for 50 years.

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.

LIMITED QUANTITIES! Building on the roaring radio success of Blue's Theme, Davie Allan & the Arrows went full throttle on Cycle-Delic Sounds!

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...

Swirling guitars and proto-ambient electronica sounds from many light years away!

Celebrate the birth of a major recording career- with Chester “Chet” Atkins’ debut single! Chet (then Chester) recorded “Guitar Blues” in 1946, at the young age of 22. Here, Chester tells us a story of through 2 minutes and 53 seconds of rhythmic thumb-picking melodies, a playful chorus by Dutch McMillin on clarinet, and harmonized twin-guitar leads with Roy Lanham. Chester also delivers a solo worthy of his idol, Les Paul. “Brown Eyes A’Cryin’ in the Rain” was penned by Bullet Records’...

Heralded hip hi-fi from '57! Chet's 1957 masterpiece!

The modern abstract photo, meant to depict high...

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 at home - In Living Stereo! The best-selling album of Chet's lengthy career!

Pressed on premium RTI vinyl, from the original masters!The album reflected the continued diversity of his repertoire and ongoing flair for experimentation. Jazz standards like George Shearing's "Lullabye of...

7" SingleFor our money, there's nothing quite as cool as a 7" slab of vintage, reverb-pumped 60's surf wax.

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!

Part of the newly launched Modern Harmonic DJ series of in-demand floor fillers!

Badger State Garage / Psych Weirdness! The lone album by Milwaukee's Baroques was recorded in 1967 and issued on Chess Records as part of the label's effort to market music to a new audience. It's a beautifully-grungy affair; somewhat lo-fi, featuring many incredible originals, such as "Mary Jane," issued as the lead-off single - and promptly banned by radio for it's supposed drug references. Filled with moody vocals atop clattering and chiming guitar work, this rarity is now available from...

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...

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...
