15 sizzlin’ surf guitar cuts recorded at the crest of the genre! Brothers Richard and Thomas Frost, more known for their work as Powder, shred through these surf-rockin’ standards – all tucked away until now! Turning in a smoking rendition of studio guitarist Jan Davis’ “The Fugitive,” later covered by the Ventures (and much later, Laika & the Cosmonauts), they also lay down a hot version of “Opus Twist” – also by way of the Ventures, written by Tommy Allsup and J.I. Allison of the Crickets....

A Twangy Touch On 1960s Hits! As one of America’s most influential guitarists, Duane Eddy’s famed twangy, reverb-drenched guitar shines on a wide variety of pop-rock hits, standards, and more! Backed by two drummers, four more guitars, organ, piano, bass, saxes, and that's just the beginning, Duane goes unafraid at the kind of tunes that normally are "one person songs" Like "Ballad of the Green Berets" which becomes a twang-bang march under Duane's banner. Like "Monday, Monday" which was "The...

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 THUNDEROUS SLAB OF TROGLODYTE TERROR! Pressed on vinyl for the first time, this version of Modern Stone-Age Family includes a favorite from The Neanderthals’ ritualistic live performance: the sphere-smearing “Ballbuster Baby!” PRESSED ON STONE COLORED VINYL!

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.

Back in the bins, now on baby doll pink vinyl! 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. From raucous rock ‘n’ roll to americana and gospel, Wray’s versatility provides listeners with a look into that era’s sound. This album presents another side of Link, this time pairing his blistering fretwork with vocal tunes perfectly suited for the teen hops that Link and company...

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...

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...

Numbered and limited to 1000! Composed of legendary Los Angeles session men, The Champs are responsible for one of the best instrumentals ever recorded, the ultra-infectious “Tequila."

Innermost Limits of Pure Fun, with its whimsical, philosophical ?California? title, was a groundbreaking project in the history of sports footage. Filmmaker George Greenough was unencumbered by any commercial reasons for designing boards, boats, or in his wave riding technique, a true SOUL SURFER if there ever was one. With the means, and ideas, to use underwater camera gear that had not been previously used ? and still rarely used to such great effect ? Greenough?s two late ?60s cinematic...

1964's Mr. Eliminator, the second album of hot-rod songs from Dick Dale, is another fuel-injected fun ride down the asphalt aisle! Once again, Dick shreds his way through scorching guitar instrumentals like "The Victor, " "Nitro Fuel" and the tenacious title track. But that's not all! Vocal selections like the Bo Diddley-beat-driven "50 Miles to Go" and "My X-KE" paint vivid portraits that any gear-head can appreciate. The studio pit-crew assisting Dick includes top-notch players Glen...

The one that started it all in 1962! On his debut album, Dick Dale managed to capture on tape the ferocious surf sound he was creating for over-the-top audiences at the Rendezvous Ballroom. Songs like "Let's Go Trippin,'" "Miserlu Twist" and "Surf Beat" helped define the surf genre and send untold aspiring guitarists in search of their own Stratocasters and Fender Showman amps. None of them could match the intensity and directness of Dick's approach to the instrument. But at least one acolyte,...

When the Surfaris' monumental "Wipe Out" blitzed the charts in the summer of '63, Dot Records rushed the L.A. combo back into the studio to cut a full album of foam-flecked classics. In one marathon session, the group recorded an entire album's worth of material. Months later, the Surfaris signed with Decca and recorded, The Surfaris Play. Inexplicably, no one seemed to know the whereabouts of the tape from the marathon recording session and the tape itself had become the Holy Grail of surf...

Just as Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys gave the world Pet Sounds, Dean Torrence of Jan & Dean gave the world "Save For A Rainy Day." It was April 12, 1966 when Dean's partner Jan Berry had his near fatal automobile accident. In the midst of forming their own record label and starring in their own television series everything came to a halt. Torrence was left stunned, and in an unusual position: he found himself in the varied role of singer, songwriter and producer -- duties typically...

The Daytonas' second LP, Sandy -- named for their 1965 chart smash -- proved they took a backseat to no one when it came to lush, ocean-flecked tales of summertime heartbreak.

The songs are so real you can almost hear the squawking seagulls!Includes:Sandy • Hold Me My Baby • Baby Say No • When Stars Shine Bright • Be Good To Your Baby • If I Had My Way...

Now on limited edition colored vinyl!When Ronny & The Daytonas cut "G.T.O." -- the all-time "turn it on, wind it up, blow it out" hot rod classic -- and an album of similar nitro-burning 1964 scorchers, it was clear the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean had no monopoly on rubber-burning dragstrip rock. Pressed on surfboard-thick High-Definition Vinyl and featuring liner notes based on candid interviews, along with exclusive photos of the band. The songs are so real you can almost hear the screeching...

Industry weasels have called us "insane" for even considering a 4-CD Trashmen box set. Of course, that very lack of foresight is what makes them weasels in the first place. You, our discerning friends, might concur on the "insanity" thing, but will also know instantly that this is indeed the Motherlode, possibly the very reason God put Sundazed on this fine earth, our legacy to the ages. Fifty years from now, direct electronic stimulation of the cortex will have obsoleted music as an...

When Jan Berry was injured in a terrible auto accident in 1966, partner Dean Torrence did his best to keep the duo's name alive. Though released under the Jan & Dean moniker, Save for a Rainy Day was solely Torrence's creation. A concept album featuring songs about rain with sound effects of a thunderstorm linking the tracks, it was an adventurous departure from the duo's past work. Much of the album was recorded in the garage of Torrence's neighbor, bassist Joe Osbourne. Osbourne enlisted...

This title will be available October 18th, 2024. Please note that orders containing any items that are on preorder will ship in full when all items are in stock. Hailing from the wintry heartland of Minneapolis, the Trashmen achieved cult immortality with a passel of landlocked surf anthems and reckless garage-rock gems, best exemplified by their immortal anthem "Surfin' Bird," two and a half minutes of inspired, unhinged mayhem that's never been equaled.  But "Surfin' Bird" is just the...

Nobody from the tidal wave of surf combos inundating Southern California in the early '60s did it any gnarlier than the Tornadoes, in hot water immediately for titling an early single "Shootin' Beavers." Our new release collects the best of the group's material from their ultra-rare album and scarce singles, plus adds 3 vintage, massive reverb swats that have remained unissued for over 35 years!

Regularly packing regional Midwest venues with their incendiary live shows, The Trashmen's pal Mike Jann rightly concluded that these performances needed to be documented for posterity. Bringing his portable reel-to-reel tape recorder to Minneapolis' St. Paul's Whiskey A Go-Go, Jann captured the two previously unreleased performances in August 1966. Before a hometown crowd, The Trashmen threw down the bird dance beat with an authority born of road-hardened chops. No Pro-Tools, no Autotune, no...

High-Flyin' Surf Rock From Southern California on Multi-Colored Vinyl! Adrian Lloyd and his backing band The Sunsets were still teenagers when they recorded this highly-prized slab of pure California surf-rock. Long desired amongst collectors both for its brand of high-energy, drum-driven rock 'n' roll and for the crazy swirly vinyl it was pressed on, Breakthrough is a prime example of a genre that still excites fans of early '60s music. Featuring the should-have-been-a-hit title track and...

The Trashmen - Teen Trot: Live At Ellsworth, WI, August 22, 1965 On August 22, 1965, some 700 lucky teenagers at Proch's Popular Ballroom in Ellsworth, Wisconsin shook to the Bird Dance Beat of Minneapolis' mighty Trashmen. Now, it's not like this show was one of a kind. Heck, the T-men played 289 dates in 1964 alone. What makes this one so special is that it's one of only a handful ever captured on tape. Teen Trot is the first-ever release of a live concert by the Trashmen, and features 20...

The Best Of Bruce & Terry illuminates two important missing links in the history of rock music: that between the Brill Building pop of the early 60's and surf and hotrod music, and the other between surf/rod and the folk-rock explosion of...
