Reviews
this is a wonderful release for people like me: big stars "third" belongs to the top 10 records of my life, but the first two big star albums never really seemed outstanding enough to own them, except for some very particular songs I always missed in my collection. for "third", I have the definitive 6 lp box set version at home. cant get better than this. for the rest of the big star catalog, this best of compilation works perfectly. Gems like "Thirteen", "September Gurls", "I'm In Love With A Girl" or "In The Street" are all together here on a neat 2 disc set running on 45rpm. Sound wise, this set is truly excellent and may be become a future demonstration disk for my turntable. From start to finish the vinyl is DEAD silent, no clicks, pops, nada. The tracks are presented in their best possible sonic picture - maybe the 45rpm treatment is doing some magick here. I can only recommend this release! Wish all modern vinyl would sound like this.
