The mythic, yet, short lived Memphis band comprised of Alex Chilton, Chris Bell, Andy Hummel, and Jody Stephens named Big Star, resides in the highest realms of power pop accolades for their three - at the time, overlooked- studio albums recorded between 1972-1974. Twenty years after their unceremonious dissolution, drummer Stephens recruited Posies' Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow and a wary Alex Chilton to reform Big Star at the request of two fanatical student DJs from University of Missouri. This two LP Record Store Day gatefold package finally captures that full historic set for the first time on a commercial release, mastered at high resolution from the original master tapes, and adding five previously unreleased performances to it’s original release in 1993 and now accurately re-titled, Complete Columbia: Live at University of Missouri 4/25/93. Limited to 4,000 copies.
Levin, usually the most accessible Crim member has eluded me all these years. I met him about five years ago at a Crimson Projekt show and I should have brought the lp with me that evening.
I'll see him tomorrow w/ Stick Men. Looking foward to it. (Big time Projeckts fan here. All desert island stuff for me.)
That will be an excellent show!! Hope they tour on the west coast soon.Is that Thrak album on vinyl??
Oops, forgot where I was ... the Projekts tend to do that to me and post-Merlot fugginess can be blamed as well. That particular offering was from the Thrak - Limited Edition Box set, Import, Limited Edition. I hope P-Man can overlook the blasphemy and that near unforgivable transgression. This, however, is vinyl. Anyone who cares for ICCK or Poseidon era Crimson - and sadly I am no longer among their number - should definitely have this. McDonald & Giles
