Give me another chance (Big Star) (LP 657 - 658)

Big Star  #1 Record (CD, Stax Records, 1972) ****

Big Star  Radio City (CD, Stax Records, 1973) ****

Genre: Power Pop 

Places I remember: Kings Recording (Abu Dhabi)

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: September Gurls  (Radio City)

Gear costume: Watch The Sunrise, Thirteen (#1 Record); Back Of A Car (Radio City)

Active compensatory factors: This is a double album package of Big Star's first two albums.

Still sounding fresh as a daisy, these albums have grown in stature over the years after the band's start in the early seventies was hampered by a small label's issues getting the records out.

But word of mouth is a great thing and these albums are now regarded as stellar power pop albums. 

Alex Chilton (guitar and vocals) is the mainstay of these two albums but Chris Bell, also on guitar and vocals (on the first album), is a great partner in crime.

The combo of guitars and harmonies gets me every time. Have another listen to Watch The Sunrise! Gorgeous song!

Where do they all belong? I haven't bothered with the third album (Third/Sister Lovers). One day, maybe. Meanwhile, I'll stick with these two for my Big Star fix.
