Unquestionably one of the most iconic rock guitarists of all time, Link Wray rumbled out of the gates with a string of instrumental hits starting in the late '50s. This album presents another side of Link with nary an instrumental in sight, this time pairing his blistering fretwork with vocal tunes perfectly suited for the teen hops that Link and company tirelessly played for years. Released in an extremely limited number of copies in '64, this is the first-ever reissue of one of his rarest...

A crucial and thundering piece of proto-metal history!

Isolated Ivory Tower • Summertime • Hey Wall • The Long Hair • The Calm After The Storm • You’re All I Need • The Living Dead...

Prior to his work with Buffalo Springfield and Kenny Loggins, 16-year-old Jim Messina led a savage group of fellow surf devotee friends to record The Dragsters, a 1964 album full of fierce, fiery, and infectious surf rock instrumentals with just enough sounds from the strip to get your motor running! The 14 original reverb-soaked tracks are presented here in their magnificent (and rare) mono versions plus five bonus pounders, all on CD for the first time! Also available on blue vinyl!...

Doris Wishman was one of the most prolific female filmmakers that most people have never heard of. The pint-size sleaze queen helmed a variety of oddball exploitation classics that featured unique gimmicks and unusual, sometimes shocking subject matter. The Best Of Doris Wishman features audio from theatrical trailers, original theme songs, as well as some jazzy incidental library music from legendary exploiteers in the Something Weird world that are cherished and adored for the body of work...

Arriving in 1978, X-Dreams is an infatuating and resolutely feminine free-form exploration of the politics and dynamics of sex. In the pursuit to reconcile the duality of attraction & repulsion and love & cruelty, the album oscillates between an assertive opening side and a sweeter side B. Assembling a crew of 22 musicians (including Mick Ronson on guitar and Bill Bruford on drums), Peacock delivers impassioned vocal performances alongside an improvisational jazz-rock fusion masterpiece of...

“If the Moody Blues had been stranded in the Sonora Desert with nothing but peyote for sustenance, this this the album they would have made.” - RECORD COLLECTOR Maybe it’s their proximity to all that funny-tasting cactus, but Arizona has produced more than its share of mind-bending rock combos and Kennélmus might just be the wildest of the bunch. The Chantays sand-wrestling with the Electric Prunes, refereed by Captain Beefheart almost certainly does justice to the mind-bending sound of...

A vital document of one of the first bands to put serious cracks in rock's glass ceiling! Never able to fit the mold that label executives demanded, at the very end of 1969 the Quatro sisters’ Pleasure Seekers became Cradle. Though "the suits" weren't ready for them, their forward-thinking sound and quintessentially Detroit determination blazed a trail for the decades of hard-rocking women who followed -- as did their choice to remain true to themselves, no matter what. Includes: Cradle...

Lothar And The Hand People emerged as one of the earliest pioneers to mix electronics into rock, incorporating theremin and synthesizers into their sonic onslaught. Led by Lothar (a theremin) and his cast of digit possessing musicians wielding guitar, bass, drums, and one of the first (and largest) modular Moogs! This, their first ever live album, captures them with the passion and energy that can only come from a band’s final show before Lothar was forever unplugged. Includes: Machines...

A road paving, agency grabbing, '69 girl group garage band trip! Nashville, 1966: five young girls teach themselves their instruments playing along to the radio.

The archetype for the '60s-era girl group was etched indelibly into stone, like a commandment: three pretty girls with matching outfits and bouffant hairdos would sing, with musical backing supplied by a bunch of guys standing in the shadows. The Quatro sisters shattered that archetype forever with the Pleasure Seekers, an all-girl teenage rock & roll group who played all the instruments themselves and were fully capable of wiping the stage with any male band that crossed their path. The...

The hits kept on coming from heroic Dallas fivesome The Five Americans with their third longplayer, 1967’s Progressions.

UNISSUED GRITTY & GRINDIN’ BLUES! Formed in the summer of 1965 by brothers Michael and Dan Erlewine, The Prime Movers Blues Band’s dedication was the stuff of legend.

Fuzz-Laden Psychedelic Guitar Funk! “How do you describe Eddy Senay’s music? Instead of going in-depth on the guitarist’s technique and genre, it’s a lot easier to show the cover of the 1972 LP Step By Step and say, 'This is what he sounds like.' The cover photo, featuring Senay in a zip-up butterfly collared sweater and newsboy cap complete with pompon sitting on the steps of a redstone Detroit church, sums up the artist and his sound. It has all the accoutrements of the era resting on the...

If family lineage had anything to do with it, Buddy Alan would have been a slam-dunk as a country music star. Fortunately, Alan – the son of Bonnie Owens and Country Music Hall of Fame member Buck Owens and the stepson of Bonnie's second husband, Hall of Famer Merle Haggard – had the talent to back up his illustrious background. From his earliest recordings, a duet with Buck Owens in 1968 and his first solo single, written by Haggard, it was apparent that Buddy had his own sound and the...

If ever there was a "band that launched a thousand bands," it would be the Ventures. Founded in Tacoma, Washington in 1958, their guitar-based instrumental sound would prove hugely influential, inspiring countless followers to pick up a guitar, bass or set of drumsticks and try to emulate their heroes. As these musical neophytes would soon learn, it wasn't as easy as it initially appeared. The Ventures were masters of tone and technique, deftly arranging their instruments in a seamless...

Michael Fennelly quickly became one-seventh of The Millennium, who produced Begin, a lush audio carpetorium of an album that found a cult audience upon its reissue thirty years later. After...

• Long out of print, this masterpiece of adolescent angst is back on CD!• Both CD and LP include lyric sheet inserts! Cherry Bombs Of Icon & Influence!

Back when Buck Owens was a struggling guitar player, bouncing around the bars of Bakersfield, Tommy Collins heard him and hired him for his band. When Capitol Records producer Ken Nelson heard Buck's skills during a Collins recording session, he was so impressed that he began using him on other artists' sessions regularly and signed him to the label as a solo artist. With Buck Owens Sings Tommy Collins, Buck acknowledged the career boost given to him by Tommy and repaid the favor by recording...

There was no stopping Buck Owens in 1964! I Don't Care, released in November of that year, contained another #1 smash country hit in the title track. The album also initiated the tradition of showcasing the individual talents of the Buckaroos along with Buck himself. Featuring vocals by bassist Doyle Holly and guitarist/fiddle player Don Rich, the band turned in spirited renditions of current country hits like "Abilene" and "Louisiana Man." Buck also served notice of his premier guitar prowess...

Riding the crest of fame, Buck Owens never thought of slowing down in 1966. Marking a departure from his last few albums, Open Up Your Heart features Buck as the sole lead vocalist on all cuts. The title track, one of three #1 singles on the album, features chicken pickin' Telecaster licks courtesy of guest guitarist James Burton. It stayed atop the country charts for six weeks. Other standout tracks include the blue-collar broadside "Sam's Place" (inspired by a real establishment in Richmond,...

Hands-down, one of the most requested reissues in Sundazed's recent history, Buck Owens' 1966 landmark album, Dust On Mother's Bible, finds Buck and the boys at the absolute top of their game, putting aside the usual honky-tonk anthems to don their Sunday best and forge a riveting selection of sacred material ("I'll Go To Church Again With Momma" and "Bring It To Jesus") as well as heart-breaking ballads like the title track--every offering created with the ease of master craftsmen. Packaged...

Inspired by a phrase Buck often said to his concert audiences, the title track of 1968's It Takes People Like You to Make People Like Me was written as a "thank you" to his legions of fans. Beyond the title track, there is much to be thankful for on this admirable album. Back by the inimitable Buckaroos and select special guests, the "Tiger" is enjoying himself immensely here. With all twelve tracks written or co-written by Buck, the album flew in the face of Nashville's countrypolitan song...
