Sundazed: "Who else but
Sundazed could have put together a mindbending, six-album October release schedule that follows the cross-country route of the dayglo-painted bus of the Merry Pranksters? Not surprising really, since unearthing ultra-rare, vintage, garage and psychedelia are the one of the hard-earned cornerstones of our reputation. Gassing up in California with a paisley-powered, unreleased third album from San Francisco's

Stillroven ('Too Many Spaces' £11.99)
and The Paisleys ('Cosmic Mind At Play' £12.99), before making a beeline for New York where our journey ends with a pair of Gotham legends.. The rabid garage mayhem of the
Bruthers ('Bad Way To Go! £11.99)

Comedy - 'Part One' "One and only album by Phantom's Divine
Comedy a very Doors-like rock outfit from the USA from the early 70's. A vocalist sounding so much like Doors it was scary,
especially as this record was releases right after the death of Jim Morrison. Elektra tried to get the record banned but it only meant promotion for this album, as you understand. Great psych."
