With space-age psychedelia, a toe dipped into surf rock, some distortion-drenched garage grit, and even some Fab-Four feels; this platter will leave you wondering how in the hell only 6 minutes of it was ever released before this? In musical history the term “lost classic” is as overused as a bicycle horn at a clown convention, but it’s scarcely been more applicable than in the case of The 8th Wonders’ potent but postage stamp-sized catalog. Now, for the first time since 1968, the whole tale...

Garage/punk/psychedelia pioneers! The Blues Magoos launched their recording career with the LP Psychedelic Lollipop. The equally impressive Electric Comic Book refines the band's mix of rock 'n' roll and day-glo psychedelia. That punchy yet playful approach animates such distinctive numbers as "Pipe Dream," "Rush Hour," "There's a Chance We Can Make It" and "Albert Common Is Dead." Sundazed's new vinyl edition also features a replica of the original comic book that was packaged with the...

Fresno’s Butch Engle And The Styx possessed the perfect sound for 1966-’67.

Now On Colored Vinyl! Was there a more influential band from the West Coast's Class of '66 punks??? If any convincing is required, listen no further than the Watch Band's pulverizing take on "In the Midnight Hour." In a tradition established with their first official single, "Sweet Young Thing," this outtake features an absolutely stunning rhythm track coupled with frontman Dave Aguilar's raving original vocal. Definitive! (Inexplicably, the orig. producers chose to replace Aguilar's superior...

The Inner Mystique, the hypnotic second album by the Chocolate Watch Band, takes up exactly where its sacred predecessor left you: looking for your perfect match at the local Love-In. When Watch Band lead singer par excellence Dave Aguilar grabs you by the lapels and tells you "I'm Not Everybody Else," you have no choice but to believe him. He's not. And when session vocalist Don Bennett extols the virtues of "Medication," who could doubt his sincerity? Especially when he stokes the fires to...

Goldsboro, North Carolina's solitary claim to sixties garage-rock fame is the legendary Counts IV. Joe Booher (lead guitar, vocals), Al Peluso (bass, vocals), Don Roof (rhythm guitar, harmonica, vocals), and Rick Turner (drums) had previously waxed the swingin' frat-rocker "Listen to Me" on JCP Records (in '64, when several members of the band were still enlisted at local Seymour Johnson Air Force Base). On the astounding '66 recordings collected here, however, the pounding rhythms were now...

Now On Limited Edition Colored VinylDuring the golden age of '60s garage rock, Chicago was a hotbed of raw rock 'n' roll activity, spawning a wide array of hard-hitting homegrown combos. Suburban teen-club heroes the Del-Vetts were one of the best things to rise from that fertile Windy City scene, creating some of the era's punchiest proto-punk!With legendary local garage godfather Bill Traut (The Nazz, Shadows of Night) producing, the Del-Vetts released four singles on four different labels...

The unearthly, savage, Rolling Stones/Pretty Things-inspired treatment of R&B classics as interpreted by the Druids of Stonehenge on SUNDAZED ten-inch vinyl is a phenomenon that quite simply has to be heard to be believed. When frontman David Budge cuts loose on such familiar '60s staples as "Who Do You Love," "I Put A Spell On You," "Pretty Thing" and "Bald Headed Woman," it's almost as though he's being strangled by Bo Diddley's "cobra snake necktie" with eyes popping, cartoon-like, out of...

Though they found worldwide fame in 1969, Winnipeg's Guess Who had been scoring scads of hard-rockin' hits in Canada for years, beginning with 1965's ferocious rendition of "Shakin' All Over."

In a special arrangement with Spinout Records: ON COLORED VINYL! Think the true spirit and sound of the '60s exists only in the ring-worn covers and greyed out grooves of your discs from 1967?!? "Coffin Dragger," the second single by Bob Irwin and the Pluto Walkers, will change--and blow--your mind! Specially selected from the musicians' new full-length album, The Throwaway Age, this disc is as perfect an encapsulation of a lost era as you will find--a stomping, fuzztone-infected tribute to...

Now on Limited Edition Translucent Gold Vinyl! As this eight song flashback attests, there's a page of history reserved especially for the Knaves, Chicago's original rock 'n' roll vice squad, if for no other reason than "Leave Me Alone," the most outrageous, in-your-face anthem of the mid-sixties garage band boom. Unlike most garage records with their lyrical emphasis on boy-girl post-breakup teenage rage, the Knaves aimed for a more elevated target, the Establishment. And to put it mildly,...

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 eluded 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. Equally stunning...

Mono edition!Although the Knickerbockers hailed from Bergenfield, New Jersey, anyone listening to the radio in early 1966 would have sworn that they were from Liverpool. That's when the band's overpoweringly infectious signature tune "Lies" stormed the AM airwaves, convincing many stateside listeners that they were hearing a fab new Beatles single.Jerk and Twine Time emphasizes the raw immediacy of the Knickerbockers' origins as a live band. Beyond the dance-craze anthem "Jerk Town" and the...

Mono edition!The Lies LP, recorded in Hollywood with songwriting contributions from the likes of Glen Campbell, Jim Seals and Jerry Fuller, surrounds its iconic title hit with an eclectic assortment of tunes, including the catchy melodic gems "I Can Do It Better" and "Just One Girl," the widescreen pop experiment "I Believe in Her" and distinctive renditions of the durable standards "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Harlem Nocturne."Although they ironically rode the faux-English sound of "Lies"...

Exploding from AM radio speakers everywhere in 1965, The Knickerbockers' "Lies" is a certified '60s classic. Much has been made over its sonic similarity to the Beatles, particularly the Lennon-esque lead vocals. True, it is remarkable in that regard but what is often overlooked is just how GREAT the song is in its own right. Written by band members Beau Charles and Buddy Randell, it is a superbly crafted composition that could have been a hit for any number of artists. That the...

Limited Vinyl Mono Edition Featuring J.J. Cale!The Leathercoated Minds' 1967 release A Trip Down the Sunset Strip is a one-of-a-kind artifact of the psychedelic era. Originally conceived as an exploitation item, it nonetheless emerged as an enduring musical statement, thanks to the talents of those involved, particularly then-unknown Oklahoma-bred guitarist J.J. Cale. As its title suggests, A Trip Down the Sunset Strip was originally concocted by noted pop producer Snuff Garrett (known for his...

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...
