Title:	Hard Coming Love c/w Osamu's Birthday
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	7"
Price:	$8.50
Catalog #:	KS7 004EP

2004 release. Part of the Sundazed Kustom Shop series, generally only available mailorder thru the Sundazed web site. "Led by respected avant-garde musician Joseph Byrd, The United States Of America was a seething, fiercely experimental blend of Pink Floyd, John Cage and The Velvet Underground, tempered by the icy yet lovely vocals of Dorothy Moskowitz. Here are two previously unissued versions of works-in-progress, both cut live in the studio by this seminal psychedelic combo that also featured violinist Gordon Marron, bassist Rand Forbes and drummer Craig Woodson. 'Hard Coming Love,' raw and rocking here, would become a highlight of the band's only album. The originally-unissued 'Osamu's Birthday' -- whose eerie vocal track was sung phonetically backwards by Moskowitz, then reversed for other-worldly effect -- is sung here by Moskowitz... forwards. The effect is still shattering."

Catalog #:	SC 11030CD

1995 release. "Even though Sean Bonniwell's Music Machine began life with Talk Talk, a genre-defining garage stunner, they never looked back, stuffing their sophomore effort with gnarly fuzz blasts like 'The Eagle Never Hunts The Fly' and 'Double Yellow Line.' Like Elvis Presley and Jim Morrison, Bonniwell possessed a baritone voice that turned little girls to butter. Twenty juicy cuts ramrodded with vintage rarities and never before heard tracks!"

1997 reissue. "Marinated in influences as mind-splintering as the mushroom folk/rock blast of the Jefferson Airplane as well as the feel-good pristine pop of The Turtles, Neighb'rhood Childr'n's one album trades hands these days for sums usually mentioned in ransom notes. We've added a dozen unreleased brownies, spun gold from the original session tapes, and Prof. Jud has squeezed the band's legend from vocalist Dyan Hoffman and guitarist Ric Bolz in this latest addition to the Dazed's acclaimed and essential Quakes From The Eureka State series."

Artist:	SPENCE, ALEXANDER SKIP
Title:	Oar
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	SC 11075CD

New, definitive CD reissue of this psychedelic masterpiece from 1969, a harrowing stroke of desolation and one of the peak American recordings of its era. "Oar was the visionary solo work recorded during Alexander 'Skip" Spence's last days as part of the seminal San Francisco band Moby Grape. Mastered from the original session tapes by Bob Irwin, the Sundazed issue will also contain previously unheard material from the original sessions, unpublished photos, and in-depth annotation by David Fricke , Greil Marcus and Jud Cost. Very importantly, Sundazed restores the original Columbia album version of Oar directly from the original 2-track master tapes, circa 1968. The prior (non-Sundazed) CD edition was remixed and, unfortunately, bore little sonic resemblance to the highly distinctive and far superior original album mix. The bonus cuts included on this Sundazed set are exact representations of what Skip recorded during the last day of the historic Oar sessions." Includes the original 12 albums tracks, the 5 bonus tracks featured on the previous Sony CD version, and 5 additional unissued bonus tracks never before heard.

Catalog #:	SC 11081CD

"No city marches to a funkier beat than New Orleans, and no Crescent City band ever upheld the joyous second-line tradition with prouder panache than the Meters. Their eight classic 1969-1977 albums for Josie, Reprise, and Warner Bros. -- all of them available on Sundazed -- signaled a new and exciting era of Big Easy funk. Now it's time to dig a little deeper: Kickback -- in essence, the Meters album that never was -- gathers precious rarities from the Meters' mid-'70s Fire On The Bayou/Trick Bag period, including previously unissued gems, newly unearthed alternate versions, and a treasure trove of blistering funk sure to delight fans of the legendary group."

Title:	Ludlow Garage 1970
Label:	SUNDAZED

Catalog #:	SC 11082CD

"NRBQ, the combo that's been the epitome of eclecticism over the past four decades has finally agreed to unleash its stunning live concert, Ludlow Garage 1970, on compact disc by Sundazed. Sketchy cassettes of this epic engagement have been circulating ever since it occurred, and now the real story can be told, direct from the original soundboard masters! Ludlow Garage 1970 catches the dynamic original lineup of NRBQ -- lead singer Frank Gadler, keyboard man Terry Adams, guitarist Steve Ferguson, bassist Jody St. Nicholas (aka Joey Spampinato) and drummer Tom Staley -- at the peak of their powers, as they shift gears wildly from their own unique originals, to the interplanetary sounds of New Thing jazz, to frantic covers of Wilson Pickett, Little Richard and others. With special focus on Ferguson's absolutely astounding six-string technique, here's the very best material from a four-night stand at the fabled Cincinnati nightspot, as personally selected by Adams, with the full story recounted in the liner notes by longtime band pal Chandler Travis (Incredible Casuals). It's no damn wonder NRBQ has been described as nothing less than a band that always wove its own magical musical-tapestry."

Basically the same release as the Captain Trip Merrell Fankhauser: Return to Mu CD -- a collection of Merrell's mid-70s Maui-based songs, performed by various permutations of his Mu collective.

Bounty -- is back on the scene with an all-new album of shimmering delights from MU, his long-dormant band of lysergic visionaries. Return To MU not only flashes the utopian spirit of those golden days of the Summer Of Love, it features many of its original participants, including: Quicksilver Messenger Service guitar god John Cipollina, Jay Ferguson and Ed Cassidy of Spirit, John McEuen of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Rolling Stones/Kinks session keyboard whiz Nicky Hopkins."

"Genesis, the sole album by SF-based sisters Wendy and Bonnie Flower, ranks as one of the most remarkable unheard albums of 1969. With melodic confections laced with radiant sisterly harmony, the breezy Brazilian splashes and soft-rock strains of Genesis convey a sophistication that belies the artists' tender ages (Wendy 17, Bonnie 13). Produced for reissue by Irwin Chusid (author of Songs In The Key Of Z: The Curious Universe Of Outsider Music) with Wendy & Bonnie's full participation, Genesis makes its long-awaited official CD bow with 5 bonus tracks, interviews with Wendy & Bonnie, and a treasure trove of candid photos."

Several of the tunes on this CD, obviously of their era, to my knowledge, are the only surviving recordings of his foray into the Village folk music scene...others provide a glimpse of the incipient stages of his landmark group The International Submarine Band."

Catalog #:	SC 11095CD

"Buck Owens was the original, border-bustin' ambassador of American country music. Beginning with his acclaimed live stint at Carnegie Hall, to Japan where the crowd's overwhelming enthusiasm was downright staggering, Buck would continue to herd his posse into venues worldwide. But he'd wait to hit yet another landmark locale before recording his next live album. At the renown London Palladium, Buck and his Buckaroos performed a full program of their all-time hits and added to the festive frenzy with then-recent, single successes like 'Who's Gonna Mow Your Grass' and 'Johnny B. Goode.' And it's all captured here: from emcee David Allen's introduction to Buck's affectionate on-stage patter to the stellar performances themselves."

Catalog #:	SC 11106CD

"A highly-sought-after collector's item, The Minx soundtrack is full of the Cyrkle's trademark three-part harmonies, intricate arrangements, and paisley-psychedelic sounds (the percussion intro of 'Nicole' has become a break-beat classic). Recorded in 1967, following the Cyrkle's pop chart success with Paul Simon's 'Red Rubber Ball' and their own 'Turn-Down Day' -- and shelved until the film's release two years later, The Minx has eluded the grasp of even the most dedicated Cyrkle fan, until now. For this first-ever legitimate reissue, we've found the long-lost master tapes and added eight bonus tracks, seven of which are previously unissued, along with liner notes based on new interviews with the Cyrkle's Tom Dawes, Don Dannemann, and Marty Fried."

Title:	The Best of The Buckaroos
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	SC 11115CD

"Spotlighting the flying fingers of Buckaroos guitar-picking whiz Don Rich, the full-bodied pedal steel of Tom Brumley and the rock-steady rhythm of bassist Doyle Holly backed by the solid beat of drummers Willie Cantu and Jerry Wiggins, this all-instrumental smorgasbord is the perfect introduction to the band that created the Bakersfield Sound behind country music Hall of Famer Buck Owens. Hand-picked by The Buckaroos themselves, here's the definitive example of their forward-thinking style -- an electrified honky tonk sound that wowed the crowd at San Francisco's hip ballrooms back in the '60s. This set clearly defines what made the vibrant Bakersfield sound of Buck Owens and The Buckaroos compelling enough to grab the country charts by the throat in the mid-'60s and not let go, while scoring plenty of cross-over pop-chart success at the same time."

"Before turning rock 'n' roll on its ear in 1965, the Byrds spent countless hours creating and refining their unique sound at LA's World Pacific Studios, where they recorded newborn, spine-tingling versions of classics-to-be like 'Mr. Tambourine Man' and lost gems such as 'You Showed Me' (later a smash for the Turtles). The 2-CD (and double 180 gram gatefold LP) Preflyte Sessions -- the most comprehensive collection of the Byrds' pre-Columbia recordings ever assembled -- captures the newly-kindled fire and enthusiasm of one of the most legendary and influential groups of all time."

Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	SC 11120CD

"They may be more familiar as the voices behind some of the best-loved Partridge Family recordings, but during the late '60s, The Love Generation's flawless harmonies epitomized California pop-psych. Beginning with 1967's 'Groovy Summertime,' this group fashioned some of the lushest, most sun-drenched recordings ever, including their 1968 hit rendition of Jimmy Webb's 'Montage from How Sweet It Is (I Knew That You Knew).' Love And Sunshine, the 25-track strong, first-ever Best Of, features tracks from their three Imperial albums, plus the B-side 'Catchin' Up On Fun.'"

"Based on heartbreaking pleas like 'How Much Can a Man Take' and 'I Have No One,' Big John Hamilton occupies his own special place in the southern soul pantheon as archetypal obscure soul master. Until now, frustratingly little was known of the man but all is revealed in this first-time overview of his ultra-essential sides cut for the Minaret label; from '67/'70. As if those deep soul classics weren't reason enough to welcome this collection, Big John proves across this set that he could do it all with characteristic aplomb; from southern-fried funk to hillbilly-soul."

This heady mind-trip is reissued with the participation of both Byrd and Moskowitz, sports 10 amazing bonus cuts, comprehensively fascinating liner notes by Byrd, himself, and -- newly mastered from the original analog source tapes -- has never sounded better."

Spotlighting singer/songwriters Chris Ducey and Craig Smith along with bassist Don Glut and drummer Bobby Donaho, the Penny Arkade -- with its jangley melange of the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Moby Grape -- was a potential pop-rock goldmine in the making.

"The kids of 1958 loved 'em, and their first single for Cadence Records shot up the charts like a label owner's dream. This is the fantastic and fiery album that was supposed to have been released as a follow-up to one of the all-time great, instrumental classics, 'Rumble.' But faster than you can say 'drag race,' everyone was talking about the new threat to the morals of American youth -- Cadence label-owner Archie Bleyer included. That's why Link and his boys were off the imprint, and this album of his prime-era, distorto-guitar-crunch cool remained unreleased for nearly 50 years! At long last, here it is, and it's every bit as dirty and dangerous as you would expect!"

Davie Allan & The Arrows recorded the most frenzied instrumentals the world has ever heard. Allan's fuzzed-out guitar was an audio compass pointing towards freedom, sex, danger and violence, his trashy fretboard riffs exploding behind flickering celluloid images of cycle runs, biker fights, drug freakouts and rubber-burnin' hot rods. To restore Davie Allan to his rightful place atop the ranks of fabled guitar gunslingers, we have lovingly compiled a 40-track, double CD/28-track, double LP gatefold-edition anthology that rounds up the best of Allan's 45s, sizzling album cuts, and many mind-splattering widescreen rarities."

And we've also added a large helping of forgotten wirebending warriors that are every bit as devastating; Teddy and the Rough Riders, the Riptides, Kathy Lynn and the Playboys, Alan Pierce and the Tone Kings and Jay Bee and the Kats take a back seat to no one.

Title:	Beautiful! Live in San Francisco, 1971
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	SC 11148CD

"By the time the Youngbloods, always crowd faves at the west coast ballrooms, performed live for San Francisco's free-form radio pioneer KSAN in 1971, they'd honed their set to a fine gloss. Featuring the smooth as apple-butter voice of Jesse Colin Young and the guitar/keyboard wizardry of Banana, backed by the rock-solid bass-and-drum tandem of Michael Kane and Joe Bauer, the Youngbloods positively sparkle here. We're elated to present a lengthy, previously unissued 13-song set that's equal parts rocking R&B, dreamy jazzers and honky tonk flag-wavers, with just a little bit of psychedelic weirdness -- topped off, of course, by a knockout version of their generational anthem, 'Get Together.' The Youngbloods: at the top of their game, making it all look so easy -- and so damn beautiful."

Title:	A Fine Time! The South Side of Soul Street
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	SC 11153CD

"With this amazing overview of Minaret Records' soul output, Sundazed corrects the commercial injustice befalling perhaps the greatest little lost southern record label. We've mixed deep soul collector faves from Johnny Dynamite, Genie Brooks and Doris Allen with lesser-heard gems from the likes of Leroy Lloyd and the Dukes (who shared personnel with James Brown), The Double Soul, and Candy & Billy. The latter, for years rumored as early Candi Staton, has since been fessed-up in interview by the soul queen herself. Tremendous in-house songwriting and a fabulously fun history of the Florida-based label make this a must for fans of pure, undiluted southern soul music."

Catalog #:	SC 11154CD

... The SSS International Label. "Nashville was a whole lot more than the country music capital of the world during the late '60s and early '70s. When he wasn't busy reviving the long-dormant Sun logo, Music Row vet Shelby Singleton unleashed a torrent of sizzling southern soul singles on his SSS International label and its affiliate Silver Fox imprint during that same prolific era. These two jam-packed anthologies feature the very best that the two labels had to offer by well-known names such as the seductive Bettye LaVette, New Orleanians Johnny Adams, Danny White and Robert Parker, the well-traveled Wilbert Harrison, Peggy Scott and Jo Jo Benson (separately!) and a revitalized Hank Ballard tackling Kris Kristofferson's 'Sunday Morning Comin' Down' as well as revered deep soul soldiers Eddy Giles, Reuben Bell, Mickey Murray, Clifford Curry, George Perkins & the Silver Stars, Big John Hamilton, Sam Dees and Willie Hobbs. This is stone southern soul at its most righteous, with a tinge of country frequently permeating the proceedings to let you know precisely where these greats were coming from."

Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	SC 11157CD

...Garage and Psych Howlers From The Vaults Of Trod Nossel Studios '66-'68. "The pounding garage-rock din emanating from the jungles of deepest Connecticut could overwhelm the senses, causing the weary NY commuter to become disoriented! Who knew that the most deranged '66-'68 teenage mayhem imaginable would come from Wallingford's Trod Nossel Studios, whose owner/producer Thomas 'Doc' Cavalier (a former dentist) recorded top-flight acts as diverse as the tough 'n' melodic Shags ('Don't Press Your Luck'), the R&B-consumed Wildweeds ('No Good to Cry,' featuring a Pre-NRBQ Al Anderson on vocals) and fuzzed-out punks the Bram Rigg Set ('I Can Only Give You Everything'). SUNDAZED presents the high-impact, garage-rock havoc -- at least two-thirds of it totally unreleased -- that finally tears the lid off Connecticut's best-kept rock 'n' roll secret!"

Title:	The Best Of The Liverpool Five
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	SC 11158CD

"They weren't from Liverpool, but they were 100% British! Liverpool Five forged their tough-as-nails R&B/beat sound in the unforgiving clubs of London and Germany, and on concert stages across the Far East, before relocating to the U.S. West Coast, where they set about invading America from within. Signed to RCA Victor in 1965, they recorded two powerhouse albums and a string of wild 45s, melding the heart and craft of the British sound with the fuzz and snarl of American garage. Assembled with the full participation of the original band members, The Best Of The Liverpool Five is an all killer/no filler collection of the group's very best single and LP cuts, perfectly mastered from the original RCA Victor analog reels and dressed with detailed liner notes and loads of rare photos 'n graphics. This is a crucial document of a significant -- but until now much overlooked -- band that helped define the sound of raucous '60s rock & roll!"

Title:	Playboy - The Best of Gene & Debbe
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	SC 11164CD

"Gene Thomas and Debbe Neville had their golden moment in the sun with the coyly seductive 'Playboy,' a 1968 national Top Twenty smash. Incorporating wholesome vocal harmonies and earnest songcraft with a healthy dose of Nashville twang, most of the material comes from the prolific pen of Gene Thomas. Gene & Debbe also cut marvelous versions of songs by the Everly Brothers, as well as such revered American songsmiths as John D. Loudermilk and Mickey Newbury. The 22-song set, all taken from the original TRX master tapes, includes their complete TRX album, along with rare single sides, plus previously unheard material."

Artist:	JON & ROBIN
Title:	Do It Again! The Best of Jon & Robin
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	SC 11165CD

"In the case of Do It Again! The Best of Jon & Robin, that magical sound is thanks, in large part, to the wonderful songs penned for the group by Wayne Carson Thompson, the man who wrote 'The Letter' for the Box Tops. Weaving the boy-girl love-ballad sound of Paul & Paula with the hipper, Sgt. Pepper-era style of Sonny & Cher, Jon Abdnor, Jr. and Javonne 'Robin' Braga hit the national Top Twenty in 1968 with the infectious 'Do It Again - A Little Bit Slower.' This 18-song set features the brightest and best material from the two albums cut by Jon & Robin, one produced by rockabilly legend Dale Hawkins, the other by Five Americans' leader Michael Rabon, as well as all of their rare single-only sides. This is the first-ever re-release of the superb Jon & Robin material, and everything is taken from the original Abnak master tapes."

Title:	Barefoot Adventure: The 4 Star Sessions
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	2CD
Price:	$27.00
Catalog #:	SC 11167CD

...1962-66. "One of the most stubborn myths of revisionist musical history is this: the early '60s were the Dark Ages of American pop, a sad and embarrassing era of prefab teen idols and silly dance crazes that was put out of its misery by the British Invasion. In reality, strange and wonderful things were happening with American music in the months before The Beatles met Ed Sullivan, creative big bangs that continued to evolve for decades to come. In Detroit, Berry Gordy was defining the Motown Sound, while Stax and James Brown were inventing soul music. At 1650 Broadway, the Aldon table of songwriters was bringing sophistication to teen pop, while The Four Seasons reinvented group harmony. And in California, where America's youth culture was being born, a trio of songwriters -- Brian Wilson, Roger Christian and Gary Usher -- were drawing up the blueprints for the West Coast sound. This collection explores Gary Usher's tenure as co-architect of the happiest pop music ever written, a guileless celebration of sun, surf and cars that's become an enduring symbol of the American dream. Barefoot Adventure does more than simply collect a bunch of songs that sound great on the car radio and mean exactly what they say (take that, psychedelic music!). It's also a remarkable glimpse of the process, of a struggling songwriter angling for a break, sometimes tap dancing in tangents, oblivious to the bullseye he was hitting on the way to forging an important new sound. So here's the whole story, 36 terrific tracks, including exclusive Sundazed interviews with Usher himself, with an illuminating essay and track commentary by author and Usher-biographer Stephen McParland. It's musical scholarship that's perfect for parties! We're not sure if this is history masquerading as fun, or vice-versa, but we're definitely sure that it's fun. Which, in the end, is all that matters."
