Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels scream into town with their ultra-scarce first single, waxed under the name Billy Lee & The Rivieras. Soooo obscure and sooo cool!

3.That's The Way It Is
4. Everytime

From the X-Files: Beatles and Zombies stop for lunch in Salinas, Calif. in 1965 and lay a mysterious elixir on local combo called the E-Types. This cool repro of the rare original Link 45 is the result.

Sean Bonniwell's seemingly bottomless tape vault surrenders two more unissued gems, 1966 distortion killers from the patron saint to today's WOB (wears only black) generation.

The Five Americans, five Oklahoma kids who blew the roof off the national charts when they moved to Dallas in 1966 and cut smashes like “I See the Light” and “Western Union,” recorded plenty of swaggering garage material just before their chart-topping days at Abnak Records. With the full cooperation of the band, Sundazed has unearthed a Texas-sized load of fuzzy ’n primitive Americans sides that have never seen the light of day, as well as the master tapes for the band’s ultra-rare Jetstar singles, circa ’64-’66. Put ’em all together and you have our new Early Americans compilation — a powerhouse, high-definition BeatRocket LP that’s guaranteed to get anyone in the vicinity dancing till dawn’s early light.

The Five Canadians (from Texas, natch!) bring you their trade-marked tuff, farfisa-fueled perfection! "Writing On The Wall" is reason enough for the Five Canadians to be enshrined in the Sundazed Garage of Fame; the three other ravers heard here only add to their legend!

Don't Tell Me
I'm Gonna Love You

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. We tracked down the vintage Sesac master tapes and are reissuing it on LP gems in lush 180-gram vinyl.

A double seven-inch gatefold tote bag jammed with swaggering testosterone teenage angst. These sounds made David Budge's band of garage ninjas the toast of the trendiest Manhattan club, Ondine. All cuts previously unissued, circa '66-'67!

The Pyramids, chrome-domed Californians of "Penetration" fame, arrived at local surf stomps riding on elephants and in helicopters! "Carol Ann" is a previously unissued blast; the Gary Usher/Roger Christian tune "Bikini Drag" (an oxymoron, right?) is from Hollywood's "Bikini Beach"!

1. Carol Ann
2. Bikini Drag

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
2. You Changed Again

Years before their smash hit "Vehicle," Chicago's Ides Of March excelled at exquisitely arranged pop-rock confections that easily held their own with such masters of the style as the Association, the Walker Brothers and the Tradewinds.

1. I'm Gonna Say My Prayers
2. The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine

Here's the first ever reissue of ISB's ultra-rare 1966 Columbia Records release, featuring Gram Parsons?cut from the walloping original mono masters and in a gorgeous picture sleeve designed with previously unseen photos!

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

Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels scream into town with their ultra-scarce first single, waxed under the name Billy Lee & The Rivieras. Soooo obscure and sooo cool!

Led by no-nonsense, all-purpose, guitar-totin' Char Vinnedge, the Luv'd Ones - an all-girl, fuzzed-out garage update of the Shangri-Las - were light years ahead of their time. Here's everything these butt-kicking Michigan trailblazing cuties cut in the '60s for the legendary Dunwich label, rare single sides, unissued tracks, demos and more in their long-overdue debut album.

These jangly 1965 sides from people about to become the Art Collection are fronted by a folk-rockin' De Shannon-esque Lydia Pense.

I'm Losing You
Can't You See
Yes I'm Crying

Raised in the LA desert area known as the Antelope Valley-and pals to resident locos, Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart-the Others excelled at the classic carbon monoxide-baked garage sounds rampant in the US in 1966. When the band performed "Gloria" at their high school, it touched off a student body riot and a battle with an apoplectic teacher. With the prof carted off to the old folks home by now, the boys get the last laugh: a Sundazed reissue of their volcanic single.

Revenge
I'm In Need

Astoundingly great and unissued PBC studio demos from late '66, produced by Gary Usher. Colored wax, picture sleeve and not on our CD anthology, these trax available here only!

1. Twice Is Life

We've salvaged the rarest item in the SOK discography - a cardboard single written for a Chacago potato chip company - and put the music on vinyl, where the grease from the chips won't get on your hands.

1. I Got My Mojo Working (rare alt. version)
2. Potato Chip (with interview)

Scooting around Indianapolis in a vintage hearse, Sir Winston & The Commons fused punked-up Everly Brothers harmonies on "We're Gonna Love" and insinuating, fuzz-drenched minor key excursions like "Not The Spirit Of India" - with intoxicating results.

We're Gonna Love
Come Back Again
Not The Spirit Of India

Who'll Be The Next In Line
The Spider & The Fly

The Pyramids, chrome-domed Californians of "Penetration" fame, arrived at local surf stomps riding on elephants and in helicopters! "Carol Ann" is a previously unissued blast; the Gary Usher/Roger Christian tune "Bikini Drag" (an oxymoron, right?) is from Hollywood's "Bikini Beach"!

1. Carol Ann

Who would have thought a freaky combo like Raik’s Progress could be lurking in the sunbaked grape fields of Fresno, Calif? Drawing on wild and woolly influences as diverse as Capt. Beefheart, Them and the Animals, these San Joaquin Valley boys—helmed by Steven Krikorian, later to reinvent himself as hitmaking artist Tonio K—cut an album’s worth of material best described as jawdropping! Cryptically titled gems like “Sewer Rat Love Chant” and “Why Did You Rob Us, Tank?” have been gathering dust ever since...until SUNDAZED connected the dots and unearthed this brilliant ‘60s album!

Jukeboxes everywhere can rejoice, now that Sundazed is on the scene with red hot relief for those hopelessly worn to bits copies of Epic 5-10001 (better known as "Diddy Wah Diddy"/"Once Before", perhaps the most potent of all singles by the always authoritative Remains). Mid-sixties Brit-influenced Americana never sounded so good. ON RED VINYL!!!

1. Diddy Wah Diddy
2. Once Before

Six sensational '65-'66 tracks from Boston's peerless purveyors of pounding rock 'n' roll, the Remains! Unreleased alternate take of "All Good Things"! Plus freshly unearthed pics and liner notes by Jeff Jarema!

Here’s a roaring seven-inch EP featuring a trio of unreleased demos from the Rip Chords, an early alias of storied record producer Terry Melcher and future Beach Boy Bruce Johnston, along with original members, Ernie Bringas and Phil Stewart. On deck: “Sting Ray,” is a previously unissued ode to the legendary fastback, featuring the singing prowess of all four Rip Chords, while the group’s first take on Beach Boys staple “Shut Down” spotlights one of the earliest Rip Chords vocals by Melcher (who produced all the tunes here in dazzling style). Finally, we’ve unearthed an unissued version of “Red Hot Roadster,” a Melcher original which first appeared in the 1965 teen flick A Swingin’ Summer. Color Us Gone!!! ON YELLOW VINYL!!!

1. Sting Ray
2. Shut Down
3. Red Hot Roadster

Anytime we can offer up a mid-sixties garage band from our favorite hotbed, the Windy City (particularly a combo citing Them and the Pretty Things as faves!!), good things can be expected for the beat-crazed connoisseur. Now, when it turns out to be one of the RAREST of all '66 garage singles, namely the Rooks' classic two-sider, "A Girl Like You"/"Empty Heart", it's an EVENT. From the original master tape, augmented with amazing photos. Why blow your retirement nest egg on an original copy when it sounds incredible on always-reasonably priced Sundazed vinyl?

1. A Girl Like You
2. Empty Heart

Texas's Sparkles released a mighty batch of 45s in '66 and '67 on the Hickory Records imprint. And now, we've proudly corralled the most snarly and fuzz-filled three on this deadly garage 7", cut from the original mono masters and delivered to you with the cool Sparkles picture sleeve that never was.

1. No Friend of Mine
2. Hipsville 29 B.C. (I Need Help)
3. I Want to Be Free

Two of Skip's rare post-Oar studio excursions; "All My Life (I Love You)," from '72, has the boisterous feel of Spence's best work with The Moby Grape, while "Land Of The Sun", recorded in '96 with the X-Files in mind, sounds like nothing else under the sun, and finds Skip sonorously intoning a poem atop a psychedelic bed of sound.

1. Land Of the Sun
2. All My Life (I Love You)

Legendary pre-Alice Cooper first recordings from '65 and '66! Includes the mega-rare first single, "Why Don't You Love Me" / "Hitch Hike," a previously unheard WILD version of the fuzz rave-up "Don't Blow Your Mind", plus an unissued instrumental take of "Why Don't You Love Me". From the orig. masters!!!

1. Why don't You Love Me
2. Hitch Hike
3. Don't Blow Your Mind
4. Why Don'y You Love Me (instr.)

Spirit tempered its ravenous passion for jazz, high voltage rock, folk, blues and avant garde electronics, hammered it like a slab of hot steel and shaped a glistering original sound that no one’s ever been able to duplicate. It’s a good thing this eclectically brilliant Los Angeles combo--Jay Ferguson, Randy California, John Locke, Mark Andes and Ed “Cass” Cassidy--always cut more material than it could use on its albums. Enthusiastically endorsed by the four surviving members of Spirit (all of whom were interviewed for the liner notes), Now or Anywhere, emphasizes the moody and the ethereal, and smolders like phosphorous.

Here's proof positive that long, crappy winters spawn the kind of frustration that can only find release in raunchy, high-attitude garage-rock.

When the Surfaris' monumental "Wipe Out" blitzed the charts in the summer of '63, the L.A. combo was rushed back into the studio to cut a full album of foam-flecked classics. Inexplicably that LP was never released, but 40 years later, here are two previously unheard monsters from that Holy Grail of surf sessions: early workouts on "Jack The Ripper" and "I'm A Hog For You"--both undeniable evidence that great things are worth waiting for! Boss pic sleeve and kandy-kolored vinyl inkluded!!!
