Singles Sets from Sundazed to Feature Sam the Sham, Sir Douglas Quintet

February 23, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

When it comes to the recent Phil Spector compilations, not everyone wants to go back to mono. But a pair of forthcoming compilations from Sundazed Music feature some vintage rock and country sounds presented in one channel. The label has prepped Sam the Sham and The Pharoahs' The Mono Singles and Sir Douglas Quintet's The Mono Single '68-'72, each encompassing a healthy amount of single A and B-sides for the two artists.

Known for his theatrical appearance - campily clad in a turban and a robe - the man born Domingo Samudio earned national acclaim as "Sam the Sham" in 1965, smack in the middle of the British invasion, with the No. 2 smash "Wooly Bully" for the MGM label. It became Billboard's top hit of the year - the first to have never actually topped the charts - and a handful of novelty singles followed, including another No. 2, "Li'l Red Riding Hood."

Though less of a notable name to casual chartheads, the Texas-based Sir Douglas Quintet crafted a unique, savory blend of traditional pop, rock and blues with Southwestern undertones. Notable tracks include "She's About a Mover" and Top 40 hit "Mendocino." This set isn't fully career-spanning, but it covers the band's formative years on the Smash, Philips and Mercury labels.

Both releases are directly sourced from the original analog masters and will be available in March. Hit the jump for track lists and order details!

Mike Duquette

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
