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.

Follow The Sun compiles twenty cuts dug from dusty bins by Mikey Young (Total Control, Eddy Current Suppression Ring) and Keith Abrahamsson (Founder / Head of A&amp;R at Anthology Recordings and Mexican Summer) surveying the sought after sound of Australia’s lesser - and greater - known moments of ‘70s rock, folk, and their in-between offspring. Follow The Sun filters the sublime and sometimes subversive psychedelic airwaves transmitted around the world from America’s terrestrial platforms during the golden age of gentle, exploratory FM through a distinctly Australian lens. Follow The Sun does not represent those Australian acts who produced a number one single leading to international fame and fortune. Some of the artists on the compilation never even made the local hit parade. But the fact that many of these artists didn’t enjoy chart success is secondary; these artists represent the consciousness of their time. The scuffed shuffle of Mata Hari’s Easy drastically contrasts the loner vibes of Gary Shearston’s Witnessing, while Megan Sue Hicks Hey, Can You Come Out And Play hypnotizes a la Shocking Blue and Trevor McNamara’s Country Corn spins out like a rural Skip Spence tune. Hailing from distant, disparate cities across the wide Australian map, each of these artists represent distinct, different forms of pop music.
