Alex Chilton - Like Flies On Sherbert, Aura AUL710 * 1980 UK 1st PRESS Mint VINYL LP Matrix Information (A Side: Stamped) : AUL 710 AI | (B Side: Stamped) : AUL 710B-2 I

Alex Chilton, the mercurial leader of the Box Tops and Big Star who burst from the Memphis music scene in 1967 singing “The Letter” in the smoke-gravel voice of a grizzled soul man even though he was just 16 at the time, was immortalized in a song named after him by the Replacements, the Minneapolis band from the ‘80s and ‘90s that was one of countless Big Star descendants. Big Star tapped the melodic invention and rich vocal harmonies of such ‘60s groups as the Beatles and the Byrds -- Chilton’s voice often reminiscent of Byrds’ lead singer Roger McGuinn -- in songs of romantic disillusionment and frustration. The influence of what he’d done with Big Star was felt in the bedrooms and garages of aspiring musicians, to the extent that Rolling Stone magazine once proclaimed, “It’s safe to say there would have been no modern pop movement without Big Star.” In 1979, his first proper solo album, the intoxicatingly bizarre lo-fi classic "Like Flies on Sherbert" (its working title contained a less-marketable sh-word) was released.
