I own a lot of Sundazed and like them.

Generally pretty good. Some of my pressings have clicks and pops but others are fantastic. My copies of The Runaways and Santana from them are amazing.

Generally really good, but do your homework on what you want. They use a variety of mastering engineers and pressing plants, so it's a mixed bag. For example, I have Ronettes by Kevin Gray pressed at QRP, but then a Gram Parsons done by Wes Garland at United.

I can only speak on two releases - Dylan's Nashville Skyline and Simon and G's Parsley Sage - and neither of them are very good.

I'm having a hard time finding the Speakers Corner release of Van Morrison ‎– Blowin' Your Mind! state side or retail so I've been looking at other pressings.

They're fine. I got the MOV pressing of that one and it sounds great.

I have a bunch of KG Sundazed and like some said above here, it's a mixed bag. I try to only buy KG mastered stuff from them and in most cases the mastering is great but there do tend to be pops here and there. But I've done the same in terms of getting their releases when the PP or SC pressings were hard to get or too expensive.

But it's also really misleading because a lot of their stuff has two different masters without any indication of the packaging. I've got Santana (ST) and on Cogs it's listed as Wes Garland at United, but my deadwax is Kevin Gray. So you kinda have to do your homework.

There isn't any mastering info on that pressing, not even on Sundazed site.

What year is it?

Just looked it up 2007 is in KPGs wheelhouse in terms of when he did their stuff. Although this looks like it's Rob LoVerde who's a Mofi engineer now. So it's likely pretty good even if it isn't KPG. Though I've never heard of the pressing plant "Brooklyn Phono"...

It’s good stuff for fair prices.
