Reviews     Editorial Reviews for 3rd Audio Cd      Album Description      "The quintessential American power pop band, Big Star remains one of the most mythic and influential cult acts in all of rock & roll. Originally led by the singing and songwriting duo of Alex Chilton and Chris Bell, the Memphis-based group fused the strongest elements of the British Invasion era - the melodic invention of The Beatles, the whiplash guitars of The Who, and the radiant harmonies of The Byrds - into a ramshacle but poignantly beautiful sound which recaptured the spirit of pop's past even as it pointed the way toward the music's future." - All MUSIC GUIDE Also known as Sister Lovers, Big Star's legendary third album has been released and re-released countless times around the world with different track listings, different mixes, and different cover art. Originally recorded for Stax Records' Ardent imprint in the mid-seventies, the album went unreleased when Stax went bankrupt, then later surfaced in 1978 on PVC/Passport. Now, for the first time since its 1978 debut, here is a re-release of the vinyl LP with original cover art, including the inner sleeve with complete, detailed liner notes and the original mixes and track listing. The master tape came directly from Ardent Studios, providing the highest sound quality. 180-gram vinyl.
