The history of Boston garage rock is imprinted throughout the Anthology album and has an impressive supporting cast of musicians on each song including Dan McCormack (Guitar/Vocals with Lyres, The Last Ones), Jimmy Birmingham (Drums with The Real Kids, Mach Bell), Dave Szczepaniak (Bass with Lyres), Richie Johnson (Frank Rowe, Baby's Arm, The Boize, The Last Ones) Steve Aquino (Guitar with Lyres) and Paul Murphy (Drums with DMZ, Lyres), Many of these recordings were taken from the original 8 track master tapes recorded at memorable studios like Euphoria Sound Studios in Revere, Ma where Phish recorded their historic album "Junta" You can feel that unmistakable classic eight track pure analog sound throughout.
