Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of their 1973 debut album including one bonus track: 'In The Street' (Single Mix). Big Star, led by the legendary Alex Chilton (The Box Tops), remains one of the most mythic and influential cult bands in all of Rock `n' Roll. Bands such as R.E.M., Wilco and The Replacements all cite Big Star as an influence. #1 Record was included in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of all-time. Universal. 2009.

I'd heard Big Star name-dropped for years, loved listening to the single hits of Chilton & his previous band, The Box Tops ("The Letter"), so after one name-drop more, I finally decided to check out whatever Big Star stuff was the highest-rated by listeners online. Where better to start than the beginning? So I started here. For some reason, I feel like a Carl's Jr. run right about now, though.
