405 Big Star - Third - Sister Lovers
from 1001 Album Club · host Birch
In the year 1974, after two commercial failures with Radio City and #1 Record, Alex Chilton and Jody Stephens went back into Ardent studio to record some tracks. What came of those sessions was so depressive, ramshackle, and unmarketable that the recordings languished in rock n roll purgatory until PVC Recordings acquired and released them under Big Star's name four years later. Truly, this is the dulcet sound of everything falling apart. Lets talk Big Star, Third - Sister Lovers!
