Your long days spent bent-over like a Swiss Army knife, thumbing through dusty crates of LPs and singles at a garage sale in search of record-collecting gold–impossible rarities so uncommon, so ultimately cool they'll turn your pals' faces the color of Swiss chard–may be over.

You've just found the modern-day equivalent of that little record shop that's remained untouched since 1969: the SUNDAZED Kustom Shop. It's our home base for an unending series of highly collectible, limited-edition LPs, compact discs, seven-inch singles, T-shirts, assorted swag and (don't ya just know it!) box sets that'll pop the top off your thermometer. It's intrinsically superb stuff you won't find anywhere else. And everything available at the Kustom Shop will be produced in limited edition. Once it's gone, it's gone.

And, hey, we're talking about absolutely fabulous–only SUNDAZED could pull 'em off–items here. How about an unreleased live 1965 set by the Trashmen? Or a Jerry Cole surf album so rare you might never find the original? Or a groovy 7-inch of unreleased tracks by the Cyrkle? How about the Chesterfield Kings covering a pair of Beach Boys classics? More gloriously obscure tracks by the Byrds? Or a way-cool SUNDAZED bowling shirt and a rainbow-like palette of new-direction SUNDAZED T-shirts? You get the idea. It's a mouth-watering smorgasbord of wonderfulness.

Best of all, we're not trying to create a country-club atmosphere here. We've made the SUNDAZED Kustom Shop the easiest, most user-friendly way to Kustomize your Kollection possible! You won't need to create passwords, subscribe to obtuse e-mail listings or give us your mom's maiden name. Ever! All you have to do is keep in touch via the usual channels: the SUNDAZED website or through our ads, still found in the same places they've always been. We'll give you a heads-up on what's just come out, and you can pay for it the same way you always have–by phone, fax, U.S. mail or secure on-line ordering (at www.sundazed.com) using a credit card, personal check or money order. So simple that Sparky, the lovable but not-too-bright SUNDAZED office dog, could order the stuff.

And (cue the intrepid-warriors soundtrack music) our work here has just begun. We'll be on the look-out, night and day, for unique items that just seem to fit the SUNDAZED Kustom Shop concept. Our only guideline will be that if we think it's ultra-sharp enough to be a Kustom Shop release, that you will agree. As any great New York chef might tell you, "I like my music the same way I like my Ahi Tuna fillets: RARE."
