Sundazed Records is a record label based in Coxsackie, in the Catskills of New York. It specializes in obscure and rare recordings from the 1950s to the 1970s.

Label founders Bob Irwin and his wife Mary started the label in 1989. Irwin's skill at restoring old vinyl records for the (then new) CD format, attracted the attention of major labels, who increasingly solicited him to help them re-issue material from their back catalogues. He helped Sony Music release their archival Legacy Records label. Later, his restoration work included early material by the likes of Bob Dylan, Nancy Sinatra, and The Byrds.

The first Sundazed releases were 60's recordings by The Knickerbockers and The Five Americans, and heavily reflected Irwin's personal preference for garage rock and surf music. Later releases included the albums of The Turtles, Liverpool Five, and Jan and Dean's long-lost album "Save for a Rainy Day". The company recently reissued the complete catalog of LPs by New Orleans funk pioneers The Meters on vinyl and CD.

In 2000 Sundazed had a staff of 15 and two mixing studios, including a vintage audio equipment collection.
