"Anagram Singles Collection" on CD brings together a powerful selection of single and EP tracks by The Meteors, the undisputed pioneers of psychobilly. This compilation focuses on the band's influential Anagram-era recordings, capturing their raw mix of rockabilly, punk energy and horror-infused lyrics.

The CD is designed as both a gateway for newcomers and a treasure trove for long-time fans, presenting key tracks in a coherent, well-curated sequence with strong catalog value.

Across decades of relentless touring and numerous releases, they have built a fiercely loyal global fanbase and a reputation as a ferocious live band. Their songs, often themed around B-movies, monsters and dark humour, helped carve out a distinct aesthetic that influenced countless bands in the alternative and rockabilly underground. Their enduring presence on festival line-ups and in specialist charts underscores their status as one of the most important and long-lived acts in this niche.
