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 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 Vinyl The 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...

The great lost album of country music!

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

Jazz standards like George Shearing's "Lullabye of...

7" Single For 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!

***LAST REMAINING COPIES!!!***The Bad Seeds’ story is familiar one. A product of the youth-fueled sixties rock ‘n’ roll wave, they enjoyed a meteoric rise on their home turf, the Texas Gulf Coast. For a band whose few records exemplify Texas garage rock at its finest, they didn’t last past the summer of ’66. But what they did leave behind is a indelible: 45 rpm sides that rival the upper echelon Nuggets rock of the era. ...

This pair of tequila drenched tex-mex tittyshakers kicks off with The Bandits and a Glen Campbell riff as crunchy as a bowl of tortilla chips, at over three minutes that bowl is almost bottomless!

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!

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...

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 shares vocal duties with...

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 Love’s Forever Changes in...

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...

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." Like its predecessor, Outsideinside has been out of print on vinyl...

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...

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. That punchy yet playful approach animates such distinctive numbers as "Pipe Dream," "Rush Hour," "There's a Chance We Can Make It" and "Albert Common Is Dead." Sundazed's new vinyl edition also features a replica of the original comic book that was packaged with the...

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...

NOW ON COLORED VINYL!

Sundazed is proud to present these two tracks for the first time on...

The Blues Project was one of the most innovative and influential bands of the 1960s. Rising from the vibrant Greenwich Village music scene, the New York quintet created a visionary fusion of electric blues, folk-rock, jazz and psychedelia, and delivered it with gritty, effortless expertise. 1966's Projections is generally regarded as the Blues Project's best--the studio album features the legendary lineup of keyboardist Al Kooper, guitarists Danny Kalb and Steve Katz, bassist Andy Kulberg and...

One of the most talented acts in Phil Spector's stellar recording stable, Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans featured the great Darlene Love, one of Spector's favorite vocal muses; Fanita James, who also sang alongside Love in the ubiquitous studio vocal group the Blossoms; and Bob B. Soxx himself, aka renowned singer Bobby Sheen, a legend in West Coast R&B circles. The trio's uncanny abilities provided Spector with an ideal vehicle to perfect his musical formula, making the trio's 1963 album...

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. The balance of the album includes original songs , like Top Twenty R&B single "My Sweet Potato," and current chart hits, done in that inimitable...

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...

Booker 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 up...

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...

Far into the Northern California outback, the Brogues hailed from Merced, eighty miles due east of San Jose, halfway between the San Joaquin valley hub towns of Fresno and Stockton on old highway 99. The original four piece configuration of the Brogues -- featuring guitar/vocals Rick Campbell and Eddie Rodrigues, bass/vocals Bill Whittington and drummer Greg Elmore -- cut Rodrigues' jangly yet snotty "Someday," and backed it with Campbell and Elmore's driving stop-and-go rocker "But Now I...

As the Byrds woodshedded their unique sound at World Pacific Studios in 1964, they were also earning a reputation as LA’s top dance band at Ciro’s Le Disc; more than any other songs in the Byrds’ early repertoire, Gene Clark’s upbeat rockers “You Movin’” and “Boston” fueled the dance floor mayhem there.
