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.

The 1977 psychedelic rarity, Michael Angelo (aka The Guinn Album), by Kansas City, MO-based singer / songwriter / multi-instrumentalist Michael Angelo Nigro, is a hook-filled, staggering, inner space hi-fi snapshot of dreamy folk-rock, Anglophile-pop and light psychedelia. Filled with poetic, contemplative, imaginative and arresting lyrical imagery and a Beatle-esque vocal presence that etches lovely figures, there's little to ally the album to its time. Michael Angelo taps into the forever, ruminating on timeless life concerns in an oblique and direct manner. Ethereal and mellifluous, the album isn't just a collection of songs, but a cohesive album-length statement with strummy, jangly folk-rock guitar, incendiary lead lines, big, resonant piano chords and plaintive tinkling, aided by keyboard coloring, and stands as a heavy hitter in the pantheon of 'out-of-time' treasures. Original copies of this obscurity have long traded for close to four figures. The more affordable versions previously available have been shoddy bootlegs with poor sound. While the original master tapes vanished decades ago, this edition has been treated to a new re-master from a sealed original mint copy - and with Michael's full involvement and blessing - rendering it as near the sound of the original LP as possible.LP - 12" tip on, matte varnish, custom insert (basic stock) with liner notes from the artist and artist image on reverse side.
