For the self-titled first album of the band called Mainstream see that band's page.

Mainstream is the first and only album of the UK Canterbury Scene band Quiet Sun. The band split up in 1972, Manzanera to Roxy Music, MacCormick to Matching Mole, Hayward to This Heat, and Jarrett began to teach mathematics.

In 1975, Manzanera booked a studio for 26 days to record his first solo album "Diamond Head" and got Quiet Sun together again to record an album from their composed material in the studio at the same time. The result Mainstream was critically acclaimed and became the New Musical Express' album of the month, apparently Island Records' fourth or fifth biggest seller at the time, close up to Bad Company and Cat Stevens.

A CD release was published in 1997 on Manzanera's label Expression Records.
