To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic Australian label Mushroom Records,  Warner Music Australia presents a great new compilation, Mushroom40: Rock, and announces a  program to reissue and upgrade some classic material from the Mushroom catalogue.

Out Friday 2 August, Mushroom40: Rock lives up to its title with 40 tracks from the past 40 years, focusing on the rock side of Mushroom’s heritage. It begins with classic early hits from the likes of Matt Taylor, Madder Lake and mid-70s breakthrough mega-hits from Skyhooks and Ol’55. It moves through the late ‘70s (Split Enz, Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons), into the early 80s (Sunnyboys, Models, Hunters & Collectors), mid and late-80s (Paul Kelly, Jimmy Barnes, Choirboys), into the 90s and beyond (Bad Loves, 28 Days, Eskimo Joe).

Mushroom40: Rock is out Friday 2 August through Warner Music Australia.
