Sundazed

Sundazed is a US record label founded by Bob Irwin in 1988. They specialize in vinyl reissues of classic albums from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. With all graphic design and mastering work done in-house, Sundazed ensures high-quality releases at affordable prices for customers.

Over the years, Sundazed has collaborated with various cutting and pressing facilities to bring their releases to life. From the early 2000s until the mid-2010s, they worked with renowned engineers such as Greg Calbi and Warren Barnett for cutting records. In recent years, they have partnered with Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio for primary manufacturing.

When it comes to pressing their vinyl records, Sundazed has utilized different facilities depending on the era. From the late 1990s to mid-2000s, they often worked with Stick '1' at Record Technology Incorporated (RTI). In later years, Rainbo Records and Quality Record Pressings were among their trusted partners. Currently, TMP (The Mastering Plant) handles their pressing needs.

The CA Quintet's journey to Hades burned hot enough to melt the ice in their frigid Minnesota environs - A coveted collectable since the psychedelic record collecting disaster whirl first started over 30 years ago, Trip Thru Hell (1968) is rightly regarded as the epitome of local psych-cum-garage rising above its humble roots into something truly monolithic.   Evolving from the local circuit into a hellish beast of keyboards, lysergic lyrics, trippy guitars and even subtle trumpet parts, the C.A. Quintet's vision of the netherworld glowed in flaming orange, red and yellow as their instincts took over. Kicking off with the chilling psychedelicized keyboard-led instrumental title track, the album singes the psyche of the listener with an array of atmospheric beelzefuzz on "Colorado Mourning," sitar-like solos intertwining with fuzz and horns on "Underground Music," and the more benevolent Lucifer on "Smooth As Silk," which swirls with keys and harmony vocals to underscore a brilliant melody. Mortals dare not venture to the sinister realm of the "Cold Spider" and especially not "Sleepy Hollow Lane," a mistier place than even the Chocolate Watchband could dream of visiting.
