We are ecstatic to be releasing this album but sad at the same time as this Modern Harmonic Pressing sounds glorious but is strictly limited to 500 copies. No reorders. No other colors. No shit? No shit. Gloriously mastered by Joe Lizzi and cut & pressed by Third Man in Detroit.Exquisitely restored artwork matching the original Ralph Records mono pressing. Pressed on opaque lime green vinyl.This is a stunner that we will be crushed to see go and when it's gone, it's gone. Don't blame us...

Tuba trombone drum punk! A crazed drum & brass reimagination of the piercing punkadelic music created by The Stooges! Thrashing cymbals and bashing drums locked in step with unrelenting tuba riffs, reinforced by otherworldly trombone writhing and sliding and bending (just like Iggy onstage), sounding somewhere between a disheveled wah-wah guitar or a kazoo. Available for the first time as a complete album, it must be heard to be believed! On your choice of CD or colored vinyl cut and pressed...

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." Whatta sound!!! Whatta band!!! Our new vinyl release collects the hit ?Bustin? Surfboards,? adds the best of the group's material from their ultra-rare album and scarce singles and gives you a couple originally-unissued massive reverb swats! A limited edition from the original masters, pressed...

Tampa, Florida legends the Tropics released a stack of great records in the sixties. But none of those singles is more coveted by garage collectors than their '66 masterpiece, "You Better Move;" a tambourine-bashing, harmonica-wailin,' epic screamer. With its super-threatening lyrics, delivered in a pathologically aggravated state by Tropics lead vocalist Mel Dryer, this record serves as a master class in anger mismanagement. "You Better Move," incidentally, was co-penned by guitarist Buddy...

THE SOUND OF SPEED by BOB THOMPSON Bob Thompson's landmark orchestral tribute to wheels, wings, and whirly birdsby Irwin Chusid In the late 1950s, when Mexican-born Space Age Pop avatar Esquivel was in his prime, orchestra leader/composer/arranger Bob Thompson was his American stylistic counterpart. They recorded for the same label (RCA Victor), employed many of the same musicians and vocalists, and experimented with sound in the same Los Angeles studios. His RCA albums, Mmm, Nice!, Just for...

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...

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...

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...

If you missed...

Diminutive perpetual heartbeat of the Velvets! The unmistakable beat of the Velvet Underground was malleted out on the unconventional kit of Moe Tucker. Her (at times) childlike, fallen angelic voice also shines on some VU fan favorites. Here Moe reinterprets some Velvet gems, sometimes playing all instruments, other times accompanied by the likes of Jonathan Richman, Jad Fair, Kim Gordon and more. In addition to VU faves, we’re treated to rough and jubilant covers of her favorite early rock &...

The United States of America, led by respected modern classical avant garde musician Joseph Byrd, cut a wide swath through the 1968 world of rock, just then comfortably settling in to its backwoods dreams of country-rock to find the debut U.S.A. album howling like an infant terrible on its front doorstep. At the center of the U.S.A.'s fiercely experimental universe were the icy-cool vocals of the beautiful Dorothy Moskowitz, keeping this tumultuous sound from spinning out-of-control in every...

Avant-Garde Sonic Ammo ca.1968! Led by keyboardist-composer Joseph Byrd and featuring the perfectly witchy vocals of Dorothy Moskowitz, the United States of America made music wholly unlike that of the other bands of its day - or any day, for that matter. On the band's sole, self-titled 1968 album, the group draws on Byrd's background in the avant garde and crosses proto-electronica (early synthesizers, ring modulator) with psychedelia for a sound that even today remains both strange and...

Though the '60s garage band explosion was felt in every corner of the country, the local uprising of talent in Chicago thrived unlike anywhere else. The Windy City had the perfect infrastructure in place; from a booming population of teenagers, to hip music stores in every suburb, a proliferation of teen clubs willing to take their money, and a powerhouse radio station (WLS) equally up to promoting local bands.When it came to giving local groups a shot at 45 rpm fame, no Chicago label--not...

The short-lived Viva Records label was one wildly eclectic outfit. Helmed by hitmaker Snuff Garrett, this Los Angeles-based imprint targeted the teen marketplace with a series of extraordinary garage / psych / pop singles. The label’s command of popular styles prevailed across these Top 40 hopefuls, ranging from the stomping beat of the Shindogs to the psych-fuzz nirvana of the Sound Sandwich. And there’s Class of ’66 garage-grunge from the Wailers and the Second Helping (yes, that’s a teenage...

Garage Beat '66 is back on the scene with a legion of rail-thin kids wielding obnoxiously loud guitars!

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...

During the peak years of the '60s garage band wave, Pete Wright was one of the nation's top independent record promotion men. His records were not only hits on Chicago's crucially important WLS but also in small markets throughout the Midwest. Whether in the Windy City or in these smaller outposts, he was tipped off to tons of untapped local talent. So much so that launching a record label was the next logical step. Thus was born Quill Records, a short-lived but supremely cool label heavily...

Originally released as part of MGM's "Golden Archive Series," this 1970 album (simply referred to as Velvet Underground) is a terrific sin-and-salvation selection from the first three VU albums ? just the kind of thing to take along to a desert island or to the end of the world. It's essentially their earliest greatest hits collection, and the perfect encapsulation of...

On Colored Vinyl! 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...
