This is the original Ardent Records 45 version of "September Gurls" from 1974. It was mastered by Larry Nix at a different date than the RADIO CITY version, using varispeed technology, making this cut a few seconds shorter, quite a bit punchier and in a higher key. Alex Chilton's vocals offer up even more adenoidal urgency on this master, which was dedicated specifically for the airplay "September Gurls" never received (beyond a few markets) upon its initial release...

How old is he? Guessing he's got to be at least in his mid 40s.
Looks like he's got two adult children, so yeah.
Bought tickets for Those Pretty Wrongs a month or so ago, whenever it was announced....was totally on the fence about going, leaning toward no but I just started listening to the album and it's actually pretty good. Not Big Star good by any means but I thought it would be terrible...it's not...
I tried getting into that once before, maybe I'll try again.
Unrelated note, Alex's son posted something a while back that said that Alex was a big 'Law & Order' fan. I can't decide if it's cool that I know that now or I wish I didn't. Kinda regret knowing that.
Yeah, it's nothing groundbreaking or anything but definitely listenable.Quote:

They played the entire Those Pretty Wrongs album which was shockingly good. Like I was expecting it to be 'Hey this is ok but I love Big Star' but it was good enough that if that's all they did this would have been one of my favorite shows in ages....Just Jody singing and the other guy on amplified acoustic....
Then they encored with Way out West, For You, Ballad of El Goodo, Blue Moon, ...and like two more...good stuff....
I'm in love With A Girl was another one I think...
Sounds pretty sweet. Jody also seems like a really good person, which is irrelevant but refreshing.
If you spend just five minutes with Jody, your life will be better for it.
you was at the party

BUT IT'S BETTER THAN ANY VERSION OF 'HOLOCAUST' THAT I'VE RECORDED, RIGHT?

That's a good one, had to go headphones on that one.Quote:

I've been planning on getting one of those made for months. I think I can get it for like $600. Trying to rationalize that to myself.

Though power-pop forefathers Big Star were active for just a few short years in the early-mid 1970s, the Memphis band has gone on to become one of the most influential artists in modern music, with a cult status that few can compete with. This new compilation celebrates Big Star with 16 tracks spanning all 3 of their LPs (1972's #1 Record, 1974's Radio City and Third, released after the group disbanded, in 1978), and features rare single versions of some of their most popular songs. Includes liner notes from GRAMMY-winning writer and director Robert Gordon, plus an introduction by sole surviving Big Star member, drummer Jody Stephens.
Friendly reminder that December boy's got it baaaaad.
