The record world was a completely different place in 1965. Kids wanting to take home a piece of the rock 'n' roll action they frugged to at the Armory dance last weekend or a wild tune they heard the local bossjocks spin on the way home from school, inevitably had to deal with seven-inchers made by independent record labels. The single was the thing in the mid-60's, not the album. In even the hippest big city record emporiums, you could thumb through the entire recorded canon of British Invasion-influenced LPs - no more than a hundred or so - in about five minutes. But, ahhh, those singles. And nobody did them better than the shoebox companies sprouting up like bread mold all over the country, labels who could tap into the best local talent and get their show-stopping songs into the local record shops. Just about every sector of the US had its own scene, red hot local chart entries that kids three hundred miles away were destined to never hear. And that's why the legendary indie labels - from International Artists in Houston or Autumn in San Francisco to Dunwich in Chicago or Etiquette in Tacoma - and hundreds more just as groovy, are revered today more than ever. The Soma Record Company of Minneapolis caught the national spotlight by releasing hits from the likes of the Castaways and the Gestures. But "Liar Liar" and "Run, Run, Run" are just the tip ofthe iceberg. If you've always suspected that thousands of great singles from the '60s that you've yet to hear are lurking in the bushes, guess what? You're right. Step into the dusty Soma vaults with us - brush aside those cobwebs, if you would - point your flashlight towards the strobelight flickering at the far end of the tunnel and keep walking. When the cool Fender 'n Farfisa sounds finally grab you by the shirt collar, just keep telling yourself: "This isn't a dream. It's what I was born to do."

Assaulting Detroit's Top Twenty in 1966-67 with screaming, teenage garage anthems "Story Of My Life" and "Where You Gonna Go?," the Unrelated Segments were the obvious spiritual forebears of Motor City heroes the Stooges and the MC5. These five working-class kids sported killer vocals with just enough mind-altering guitar work to buzz around the the city's corporate music behemoths like wasps at a Labor Day picnic table. Here at last, is an unrelenting ten-inch slab of vinyl that finally links together the incredibly rare 60's garage singles of the Unrelated Segments!

These garage legends, hailing from California's San Joaquin Valley, where the summer temperature hovers around 110 degrees, present four brain-baked fuzzed-out classics from '66.

Spokane’s Bobby Wayne and his Warriors knocked out the Northwest’s FIRST rockabilly killers in ’55, “Sally Ann” b/w the 6120-instrumental twang of “Warpaint.” Now dig these ultra-rare recordings — reissued direct from the original masters — along with “Long Lean Baby” and “Draggin’,” two PREVIOUSLY UNISSUED rockers from the same wild ’55 session!

With a double entendre moniker like the Bushmen, it was only natural for this Fresno garage combo to spend its weekends playing beer-drenched fraternity orgies. But this smoking quintet soon tossed aside the title of "7-Up Action Boys," won in a Battle Of The Bands, just so they could play Fresno's "groovier" Rainbow Ballroom, as the Bushmen- and their music is an exciting reflection of the overpowering influences hacksawing at teen combos in the mid-60's.

Down Home Girl

Big-time powerhouse super-fuzz single that became a regional hit in New Mexico in 1969. Recorded in the famous Norman Petty studio in Clovis. First legitimate release since those heady days hear it from the original master tapes!

A Beau Brummels bonanza! San Francisco’s Beau Brummels cut a staggering amount of stellar material for Autumn Records. It made no difference whether they were demo reels or full-on band sessions: all are jammed with stunningly fine originals.

The Beavers sported doos from Mars and, in the heyday of 1964's British Invasion, they even managed to bump a large number of hairy-headed Brtis out of the top-ten charts with this single...uhhh...in Nova Scotia. They later morphed into the punky Great Scots. HELLO BABY...THIS IS THE BIG BEAVER SPEAKING!

Ignition finds the Music Machine, single-black-gloved and snarling, back in the garage, inhaling too much exhaust and exhaling these 19 tracks (14 tracks on 180-gram LP), exhumed with intensity intact. This long-awaited third Music Machine album features rare tracks-12 previously unheard-ranging from their pre-"Talk Talk" demos from 1965 as the Ragamuffins to their final 1969 experimental recordings.

Flushed from Fayetteville, North Carolina-where they thought they could remain comfortably obscure-by our release of their only album, the Runners have recently re-surfaced. Issued in ultra-limited quantity by B.T. Puppy in 1970-and now changing hands for sums more familiar to NASDAQ-this is an other-worldly blend of sweet female blotter acid harmonies, hypnotic Farfisa and high-octane fuzz guitar histrionics.

New York’s own Bruthers released but one ultra-rare single for RCA Victor in 1966, comprised of the pulverizing garage-stompers, “Bad Way To Go” and its flipside, “Bad Love.” After a chance meeting, we’ve Sherlock’ed the entire Bruther-hood (real siblings!), camped out in their cellars, and have spent the better part of a year blowing the dust ‘n must off of their massively-cool tape boxes. As you might well suspect, we’ve mined pure garage-gold and have come away Sundazed-style with a bevy of snarling fuzz-filled pounders from ‘65 and ‘66. Natch, we’ve included the legendary RCA Victor single here; all other tracks are previously unissued masterpieces of vintage garage snarl!

Recorded during the earliest period of the Sweetheart of the Rodeo sessions, these March 1968 Nashville recordings are presented here for the first time ever in their unique mono mixes. Originally intended for potential single release on Columbia Records, “Lazy Days” features a previously unheard instrumental track (with Roger McGuinn on six- string electric) while “Reputation” showcases a previously unheard vocal take by Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman.

1. Lazy Days
2. Reputation

When the Byrds cut the two songs featured on Live In Holland 1971 they may have been nearing the end of the trail, but this totally revamped Byrds lineup had plenty of firepower left in their mighty arsenal. Byrds founding member/vocalist/12-string legend Roger McGuinn—along with guitar whiz Clarence White, bassist Skip Battin and drummer Gene Parsons—sound better than ever sailing through muscular renditions of new Byrds fave (and Dr. John tribute) “Lover Of The Bayou” and Dylan country-rock staple “You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere.” McGuinn admits he kept the name of the legendary Los Angeles combo intact for the sake of his old pal (and new fretboard foil). “Clarence White always wanted to be in the Byrds ... and now he had his chance.” says McGuinn.

By day, prolific ‘60s power-surf guitarist Jerry Cole sprayed his reverbed thunder with The Spacemen on killer LPs for Capitol Records. By night, however, Cole recorded dozens of albums for budget labels under an army of aliases.

Hank Garland’s Subtle SwingLP, now sporting a sparkling new, period-era cover worthy of the album’s greatness. A former country picker, Garland excelled when he decided to cut some jazz sides, accompanied here by vibraphone prodigy Gary Burton in a set that emphasizes Garland’s knack for understated yet warm improvisational flourishes.

New York's Groupies are best remembered for pounding out their all-time Pebbles-classic, "Primitive" for Atco Records. Leave it to us, however, to unearth a wonderfully nasty, unissued performance from mid-'67-including the two tracks here which DEMAND your attention and loudly demonstrate the band's howling blues-based garage insanity!

1. Down In The Bottom

When it comes to combing through the Knickerbockers tape archives, Sundazed prides ourselves on having chased down every inch of tape on our heroes. The one recording that's alluded us all these years, though, is the legendary lost yuletide effort, "I Want a Girl For Christmas". Well we've finally got it direct from the original session demo tape. With its amazing vocal arrangement, this'll remind one and all that the Knickerbockers made better demos than most groups' masters. Backed with the equally stunning (and unreleased) "Gotta Stop This Dreamin'".

1. Gotta Stop This Dreamin'
2. I Want A Girl For Christmas
