General Article name: Radio City
Genre: Pop/Rock Product type: LP (Vinyl) Description Description

Largely lacking co-leader Chris Bell, Big Star's second album also lacked something of the pop sweetness (especially the harmonies) of #1 Record. What it possessed was Alex Chilton's urgency (sometimes desperation) on songs that made his case as a genuine rock & roll eccentric. If #1 Record had a certain pop perfection that brought everything together, Radio City was the sound of everything falling apart, which proved at least as compelling. [Radio City was re-released on LP in 2009.] ~ William Ruhlmann
