BIG STAR

ALEX CHILTON, JODY STEPHENS, ANDY HUMMEL

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 ramshackle but poignantly beautiful sound 

which recaptured the spirit of pop's past even as it pointed the way toward the music's future

SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)

 Largely lacking co-leader Chris Bell, Big Star's second album also lacked something of the pop sweetness 

(especially the harmonies) of #1 Record. What it possessed was Alex Chilton's urgency (sometimes desperation) 

on songs that made his case as a genuine rock & roll eccentric. If #1 Record had a certain pop perfection 

that brought everything together, Radio City was the sound of everything falling apart,
