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.

Born in 1944 in Colchester, Essex, England, Twink is a legendary artist known for his contributions to British psychedelia. In the 1960s, he was part of influential groups such as The Pretty Things and Tomorrow. In 1970, Twink released the groundbreaking album "Think Pink" with the help of Mick Farren and talented musicians like Paul Rudolph and Steve Peregrin Took. This collection of songs, instrumentals, and poetry is considered a must-have for fans of psychedelic music. Twink also played drums in the short-lived supergroup "Stars" alongside Syd Barrett. Despite converting to Islam in 2006 and changing his name to Mohammed Abdullah, Twink continues to create music under his iconic moniker. His most recent studio album "Think Pink IV: Return To Deep Space" was recorded in collaboration with Moths & Locusts And Heavy Friends in 2019.

Celebrate Twink's rightful status as a pillar of British psychedelia across this saucer that spans his illustrious career.

Featuring iconic songs from the seminal Think Pink album and beyond, this first ever collection was carefully concocted by Twink himself! Includes track-by-track reflections from the artist.
