Anthology Recordings

Anthology Recordings is an all digital reissue label that aims to provide a wide range of rare and out-of-print music from various eras, genres, and cultures. The label's website was initially launched on October 5th, 2006, but temporarily went offline in 2011. However, it made a comeback in 2014 as the reissue arm of the Mexican Summer label group. In addition to their musical endeavors, Anthology Recordings expanded into publishing books with the introduction of Anthology Editions in 2016.
With a focus on preserving and sharing obscure and hard-to-find music, *Anthology Recordings* offers music enthusiasts an online platform to explore diverse sounds from different parts of the world. Whether you're searching for forgotten gems or seeking to expand your musical horizons beyond mainstream offerings, this label provides a curated collection that spans across time periods and genres.
The relaunch of *Anthology Recordings* under the Mexican Summer label group has allowed them to continue their mission of making rare music accessible to fans worldwide. Their dedication to unearthing hidden treasures ensures that these valuable recordings are not lost or forgotten over time. Additionally, by venturing into book publishing through *Anthology Editions*, they have created another avenue for artists and fans alike to engage with their favorite musicians on a deeper level.

Anthology Recordings present Dreaming of You (1971-1976), the first ever collection of Karen Black's breathtaking original songs. A prominent actor in the American New Wave, visual artist and unyielding creative spirit, Karen Black was also an accomplished musician. Produced by Cass McCombs and meticulously restored from the original tapes, Dreaming of You (1971-1976) gathers the best of Black’s studio and demo recordings. The collection’s fifteen tracks are a holistic depiction of Black’s dreamy, introspective and earnest musical identity. Recalling the everywoman quality of Judy Collins and the quiet mystery of Billie Holiday, Black largely sings over simple acoustic guitar strumming, her voice a beacon amid tales of fantasy and heartache. Her range swings from fluttering highs to earthen lows, with a distinctiveness that evokes the enduring quality of early Asylum Records and the new classics of Angel Olsen. When she wasn’t on set, she scrawled hundreds of poems and lyrics, and set them to acoustic guitar or piano. As with acting, songwriting for Black was a study in confession and in character. She often completed multiple takes of a song exploring that relationship, changing her tone, phrasing or cadence in each.
