Reviews“The spare demos, crystal-clear concert recordings, and handsomely produced liner notes are a fan’s delight...”, 4 stars out of 5 -- "KEEP AN EYE ON THE SKY is particularly good at showing up the darker aspects of Chilton's personality....A brilliant demo of Loudon Wainwright's 'Motel Blues' provides a suitably bleak counterpoint to 'Thirteen.'", “A Treasure Trove of Rare Gems, Including Material by Pre-Big Star Groups Rock City and Icewater...”, 4 stars out of 5 -- "Exhibiting strong Anglophile leanings, and pick'n'mixing the usual '60s suspects, their brisk, guitar-encrusted power-pop was an unlikely product of a city better known as the home of Southern soul."
Additional InformationTells the story of America's greatest cult band this side of the Velvet Underground in a complete and affecting fashion.
If you only ever buy one Big Star compilation make sure it is this one! It ain't cheap but contains practically everything this under rated band ever recorded and in superb audio.
