Many years later I heard the Big Star original (via Teenage Fanclub talking them up - they also used to play it live), bought #1 Record, Radio City and Third/Sister Lovers, and revisited The Bangles' album just to hear their version again, which stands up pretty well.December Boynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-75838925553843142782008-10-05T11:55:00.000-04:002008-10-05T11:55:00.000-04:00Timing excellent Ted.

The song came on in the joint where I was having dinner with a younger friend who I talk music with -- who'd never noticed my Big Star/Chilton obsession -- and here's the whole histiography....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-45452090728710675572008-10-04T01:47:00.000-04:002008-10-04T01:47:00.000-04:00Just to be different (but honest), I prefer Radio ...Just to be different (but honest), I prefer Radio City myself.

Radio City is the Rock n' Roll record, slightly frayed around the edges, and Third (my favorite) is the a sprawling collection of distinctly dissonant and beautiful songs - As much a collaboration with producer Jim Dickinson as it is a Big Star record. My only gripe is I don't like the sequencing of songs on the commonly available version, only because I know it from it's vinyl release. Have fun, you're lucky to just find this now.<BR/><BR/>TedTed Barronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975741901400619750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-63597965054070140172008-10-01T14:47:00.000-04:002008-10-01T14:47:00.000-04:00James,You can't go wrong with Big Star studio albu...James,<BR/><BR/>You can't go wrong with Big Star studio albums.

Thanks. The cd of Third and Sister Lovers is as good a place as any to start with Big Star, I'd say, (at least it's the first disc of theirs I had!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-89663356471937150322008-10-01T00:29:00.000-04:002008-10-01T00:29:00.000-04:001.
