  The Byrds -

  7" Vinyl 5-pack PACKAGE DEAL! 
  The Byrds' extended family tree encompassed such a diverse array of talents that many crucial tracks have long remained unreleased or out of print. Sundazed has gone a long way towards redressing this situation, with a series of 7" singles and EPs collecting historic and long-unavailable material by the Byrds and their equally notable spin-off acts, with distinctive picture sleeves featuring rare and unpublished photos. The Byrds' Live In Holland 1971 captures the band's Clarence White-era lineup at its live best, while "Lazy Days"/"Reputation" presents two previously-unheard alternate versions cut during the Gram Parsons-era Byrds' seminal Sweetheart of the Rodeo sessions. "Only Columbe"/"The French Girl" is a brilliant long-lost baroque-pop solo single by original Byrd Gene Clark. And a pair of releases featuring Gram Parsons' pre-Byrds outfit the International Submarine Band delivers six impossibly rare non-album numbers by that pioneering combo, 'One Sum Up Broke/One Day Week', 'Blue Eyes/Luxury Liner/Miller’s Cave/I Must Be Somebody Else You’ve Known'. Now you can get all five of these essential releases on 7" vinyl for the low price of £24.99.

  Fever Tree - 'Fever Tree' (High-Definition LP)

  From Sundazed "'San Francisco Girls' is also the centerpiece of Fever Tree’s self-titled first LP, one of the period’s most distinctive debut efforts. As the album demonstrates, the quintet was adept at incorporating jazz and classical influences, ambitious song structures and resourceful production touches. Such memorable numbers as “The Sun Also Rises” and “Come with Me (Rainsong)” benefit from Dennis Keller’s hypnotic vocals, Michael Knust’s dynamic guitar work and Rob Landes’ inventive keyboard textures. Also included is a memorable medley of the Beatles’ “Day Tripper” and “We Can Work It Out,” and a unique interpretation of the Neil Young/Buffalo Springfield nugget “Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing.”" Sundazed’s new vinyl edition is mastered from the original analog tapes, features complete original cover art and is pressed on high-quality, high-definition vinyl. £17.99

  Midlake - 'The Courage Of Others'

  Looking forward to February "It’s been 3 years, but Midlake finally return with their wonderful new album....The result is the Texas quintet’s third album, their most complete and beautiful body of work yet, best appreciated as a whole in the old-fashioned sense of an album - So what’s changed since The Trials of Van Occupanther, their second, hugely loved breakthrough album? Just as that record was in part inspired by the soft(er) rock of the early-to-mid 1970s – from Neil Young and America to Fleetwood Mac – so Midlake’s new album also looks to a slightly earlier, and definitely British, trad-tainted folk sound. It may share the same gorgeously analogue-warm electro-acoustic template as Van Occupanther but it’s a slower, darker and more carved record, both eerier and dreamier" £11.99

  Traffic - 'Heaven Is In Your Mind'/'Mr. Fantasy'..

  From Sundazed this is a High Quality Mono Edition Vinyl LP. "Traffic’s historic 1967 debut LP, released in the U.K. as Mr. Fantasy, but initially reached U.S. shores in altered form as Heaven Is in Your Mind/Mr. Fantasy. The American edition featured an altered track listing and new cover art with Winwood, Capaldi and Wood but not Mason, who had quit the band prior to the album’s release. The U.S. LP added the British singles “Paper Sun,” “Hole in My Shoe” and “Smiling Phases” to the album’s running order, along with a short snippet of the U.K. single “Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush” as a recurring motif between tracks. The American edition also tacked on the short closing track “We’re a Fade, You Missed This,” which is actually the fadeout of an alternate version of “Paper Sun.” ...Sundazed’s new vinyl edition of this seminal vintage disc completely restores the album’s rare original U.S. cover art. The LP also features the album’s incredibly rare mono mix, which differs substantially from the album’s more familiar stereo mix. Pressed on pristine high-definition vinyl, Heaven Is in Your Mind/Mr. Fantasy now looks and sounds better than ever" £17.99.

• Groundhogs -

  180 gram LP + insert with lyrics - In the tradition of the best bands of the era, the Groundhogs took something known, like "the blues", and twisted it into something entirely new, so that over three decades later their sound still has a character all its own. Led by the extremely talented and inventive guitar wizard/idea-man Tony McPhee, with Clive Brooks and Peter Cruickshank as the hard-hitting rhythm section, "Solid" (1973) was one of a string of excellent albums by the band during this period, but on this album, the band really stretches out, boldly trying out a number of effects and instruments. £16.99.

  

• Birmingham Sunday -

  "A Message From Birmingham Sunday" (180 gram Vinyl LP) Formed by some high-school friends from Carson City, Nevada, the band began playing clubs around the state in the late sixties, and soon landed a contract with Bill Holmes' (Strawberry Alarm Clock's producer) label, All American. This teenage band played mostly folk-influenced psych, with beautiful male/female vocal harmonies rising above the music (which featured Doors-influenced organ playing and some wind instruments as well). £16.99.

  

• Hunger! -

  180 gram Vinyl LP - Hunger! (originally from Portland, Oregon), were full-fledged members of the L.A. psych scene of the late-sixties, and despite their opening for top-shelf acts like the Doors and The Strawberry Alarm Clock, their one and only album did not make much of a splash at the time, and the band dissolved soon after its release. However, the album has since become one of the most collectible in its genre and upon listening one can see why. This rhythm-heavy Doors-influenced hard psych is frequently referred to as "one of the best psychedelic albums of all time"! Band member Ed King went on to play with the Strawberry Alarm Clock and Lynyrd Skynyrd. £16.99.

  

• Motorhead -

  (180 gram LP + bonus CD of the album) Motörhead's first live album, recorded in early 1978 at The Roundhouse, less than a year after the release of their groundbreaking, self-titled debut.

• New York Art Quartet - 'Old Stuff'

  "Formed in the summer of 1964, although the New York Art Quartet existed for barely a year and a half, great interest remains in their work. They consisted of co-leaders John Tchicai (alto sax), who participated in John Coltrane’s ground-breaking Ascension album and Roswell Rudd (trombone), considered to be the first free-jazz trombonist, along with bassist Don Moore and drummer Milford Graves. The band participated in the legendary “October Revolution in Jazz”, which journalist Bill Shoemaker called, “Arguably the most seminal jazz concert series ever held....” They recorded their self-titled first album for ESPand Tchicai went back to his homeland of Denmark to scout out work for the group. Only Rudd was able to join him, so the pair enlisted Copenhagen bassist Finn von Eyben and South African drummer Louis Moholo (of the Blue Notes and Brotherhood of Breath) for a pair of concerts in October, 1965, which are released here. This release features all previously unheard recordingsfrom 1965 with very high-quality sonics. In the 8 page booklet are never-before seen photos and a short, informative essay by writer Jason Weiss, who produced this album" £12.99.

  The Bundles - 'The Bundles'

  The Bundles boasts a line-up of Kimya Dawson, Jeffrey Lewis, Jack Lewis, Anders Griffen and Karl Blau, a formidable group of artists who have achieved great singular success. Their debut album The Bundles is a delightful fusion of everything they have done on their own. Mix the tragic-comic folk narratives of Jeffrey Lewis, with Kimya Dawson’s friendly calls for bravery, with the daffy, multi-instrumentations of Karl Blau, Jack Lewis and Anders Griffen and the result is an album that is able to be both snarky and tender, and vulnerable and confident - all at the same time. "Jeffrey Lewis is the Big Apple’s best-kept secret. NYC’s never exactly lacked eccentric singer-songwriters, but all, from Lou Reed up to Adam Green, would struggle to out-boho Jeffrey Lewis." - NME. To pre-order click on 1)Vinyl LP for £14.99 and 2)CD for £10.99. Released on March 8th.
