Plainly and simply, the incendiary singles Jerry Lee Lewis cut for Sun Records in the mid-1950s and early 1960s left a flaming footprint on the face of popular music and forged the die of rock 'n' roll itself. Which means that when it comes to rock 'n' roll, it doesn't get any more essential than Sundazed's roundup of 28 of the Killer's rowdiest, raunchiest, and most rollicking Sun sides; explosive cuts like "Great Balls of Fire," "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On," "Crazy Arms," "Breathless,"...

How do you top The Litter's godlike '67 longplayer, Distortions? Well, you don't. But leave it to The Litter to deliver the equally essential (not to mention hopelessly rare) '68 follow-up, $100 Fine. From the ultra-explosive album opener, "Mindbreaker" (where the Distortions sound now takes on Blue Cheer-like heaviosity) to the LP's epic finale; a nine-minute, ambitiously retooled "She's Not There," $100 Fine ranks as one of its era?s masterpieces. In a tradition established on...

MONO MASTER RTI LP! Minneapolis was their home turf. But in the decades that followed, appreciation for Distortions swelled to tidal wave proportions among fans of amped-up, ramped-up, balls-to-the-wall rock 'n' roll. Headlined by two red-hot, stone-cold killers, "Action Woman" and "Soul Searchin'"--both penned by producer Warren Kendrick--Distortions is arguably the greatest private-press garage band album of the era. The Litter formed in 1966 as a merger between two popular Twin Cities...

Bursting out of hi-fi speakers like a deranged Yardbird, Adrian Lloyd�s �Lorna� rode a booming Bo Diddley beat through 2:23 of unhinged musical madness. Capturing some of the wildestscreams ever recorded, Lloyd also played a pounding drum solo to drive home the song�s tribal tattoo. The flip side, �Got a Little Woman,� slows the tempo to a menacing minor key surf beat without lowering the intensity at all.

Long before Alice Cooper bought his first guillotine, David Edward Sutch, aka "Screaming Lord Sutch, 3rd Earl of Harrow," was pushing the live rock spectacle envelope. Inspired by his musical hero Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Sutch employed onstage props like a coffin, from which he would emerge, along with skulls, daggers and the like. Together with his band the Savages, he released several early '60s horror-themed singles, like "Jack the Ripper," the first five being produced by fellow eccentric...

• Previously unheard live Lothar from one of their very first shows! • A musical portrait of hard-hitting hooligans destined to grow up quickly and revolutionize rock! Grindin’ & drivin’ garage punk? This 1966 live recording provides the first evidence of Lothar And The Hand People's previous life as a feral gang of rough-hewn, guitar-based garage rockers.

Lothar And The Hand People emerged as one of the earliest pioneers to mix electronics into rock, incorporating theremin and synthesizers into their sonic onslaught. Led by Lothar (a theremin) and his cast of digit possessing musicians wielding guitar, bass, drums, and one of the first (and largest) modular Moogs! This, their first ever live album, captures them with the passion and energy that can only come from a band’s final show before Lothar was forever unplugged. Includes: Machines...

THIRTY TRACKS TOTALING OVER AN HOUR OF UNHEARD HISTORIC RECORDINGS FROM THE LEGENDARY LOUVINS! We’re always the optimists who want to believe that there are significant caches of previously unknown recordings by artists who’ve passed or long since made their best work. Not just alternate takes or juvenilia, but truly undiscovered great music. In the case of the Louvin Brothers, this is it.

1967's Da Capo captured Love in a transitional phase, evolving from the frenetic garage folk of their debut album to the lush, psychedelic textures of their third release, Forever Changes. Da Capo's first single, the tremolo drenched rave-up "Seven & Seven Is," is a direct link to the energy and verve of the debut and rightfully became a garage-punk classic. In contrast, the Bryan Maclean-penned "Orange Skies," with its subtle samba rhythms and exotic instrumentation, pointed the way forward...

As Arthur Lee entered the studio to begin the sessions for 1969?s Four Sail, he was the only remaining band member from the previous three LPs? lineups. Enlisting the aid of Frank Fayad on bass, George Suranovich and Drachen Theaker on drums and Jay Donnellan on guitar, Lee launched a marathon recording session. Elektra culled through the session tapes, selecting the best songs for inclusion on the album. With the exception of ?Singing Cowboy,? which he co-wrote with Donnellan, all tracks were...

After gigging around the Los Angeles scene for three years, Arthur Lee was ready for something different. Inspired by seeing The Byrds live, he decided to merge their folk-rock sound with the driving r&b he had been playing to create a new group, dubbed Love. Recruiting guitarists Johnny Echols and ex-Byrds roadie Bryan Maclean, bassist Ken Forssi and drummer Alban "Snoopy" Pfisterer, Love began recording their eponymous debut LP in January 1966. Their first single, Bacharach/David composition...

In four short years from 1966-1970, Love released four albums of increasingly adventurous rock and, mainly due to their hesitance to tour, remained an enigma to most music listeners beyond their Los Angeles base. Revisited, originally released by Elektra in 1970, gathers many of the highlights of that explosively creative period. The band's biggest singles--"My Little Red Book" and "Seven & Seven Is"--are included, of course, but that is only the beginning. Also included are three of Bryan...

Both adventurous and appealingly innocent, the Love Exchange's eponymous 1968 album stands as a perfect example of Aquarian-age sunshine pop. Boasting a swirling, jangly sound and a distinctive lead singer in 16-year-old Bonnie Blunt, the Los Angeles quintet burned briefly but brightly. They remained together long enough to make this album, which remains a favorite of '60s aficionados. Led by the buoyant, infectious psych-folk-pop single "Swallow the Sun," The Love Exchange perfectly captures...

This swingingly cinematic score was commissioned for Sexploitation classic Satan in High Heels, the story of a woman caught in the decadent nightlife of the Big City. Mundell Lowe’s compositions aptly complement and enhance the story’s mood and atmosphere while often juxtaposing humor with strains of profound symbolism. The score, a stellar example of “jazz noir” however, is never decaffeinated. It’s relentlessly vibrant and engaging. Includes the previously unreleased bonus track “Female Of...

By far the most ominous-sounding of the Bay Area's 1960s psychedelic bands, the music of Berkeley's Mad River comes across like a spiraling, acid-spiked descent into hell. With a raw, garagey style marked by Lawrence Hammond's quavering vocals and the interlocking exchanges of guitarists David Robinson and Rick Bockner, Mad River's sound conjures a darker, more menacing version of Quicksilver Messenger Service or early Country Joe and The Fish. No wonder the quintet's self-titled 1968 debut...

Explosive 1967 electric blues set restored to its original mono glory.1967's A Hard Road proved to be every bit as powerful and innovative as its predecessor, thanks in large part to Mayall's discovery of Clapton's equally brilliant replacement, Peter Green.

With sterling support from...

The advent of ear-splitting, cortex-skewering bands like the Maze really did signal the end of the sixties. But just like that ultimate orgasmic blast during the finale of a great fireworks show, what a perfect way to go. A true rarity among 60's psych collectors, tracks 1 through 7 appeared on the original Maze release, recorded at various studio sessions from September 1967 to March 1968 at Leo Kulka's Golden State Recorders in San Francisco. In addition to this original album, we've added...

The Meters' 1972 release Cabbage Alley was the incomparable quartet's first for Warner Bros./Reprise, and boasts a somewhat smoother, but no less funky, sound than its predecessors.
