Greetings,

In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://furious.com/perfect/index0220.html>, you'll find (among other things):


VINYL ANACHRONIST
Big Star reissues by Marc Phillips
"Compared to my old CD's, however, there's no contest. With these new pressings you can really tell that while Ardent's budget was tight, Big Star (and especially Chris Bell) really paid a lot of attention to the overall sound in the studio. Sure, Big
Star was influenced by the British Invasion, and those jangly guitars make the band sound more like a great '60's band than a forgotten '70's one. I can't imagine the impact this band would have made back in 1972 if #1 Record had gotten the airplay it
deserved."


We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.

See you online,
Jason
