This is easily everybody's most praised popular and critical cult favorite of the '70s: the much-sought Big Star's second - and according to Alex Chilton  - the last real album released by the Big Star. Big Star, who were neighbors, contemporaries and label-mates (Ardent was a Stax subsidiary) of such Stax/Volt legends as Booker T. and the MG's, Carla and Rufus Thomas, or Albert King, created a lasting masterpiece of rocking urgency, bold harmonies, twanging guitars, intricate chord changes and some real loud, intense R&R. A masterpiece of 70s power-pop, and a great album, if ever we’d met one. The album was pressed as the band was disintegrating, to minimal promotion and advertising, and nice copies are brutally hard to come by. Finding a still sealed original copy of this southern Power Pop Masterpiece?!?! Forget it – not even a HOPE!!! This may be the last one you will ever see.

 

Track listing:O my soul - Life is white - Way out west - What's going ahn - You get what you deserve - Mod lang - Back of a car - Daisy Glaze - She's a mover - September Gurls (later covered by Beach Boys) - Morpha too - I'm in love with a girl.

·       CONDITION:

 

·       RECORD

 

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

 

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►.

 

(b)          The record is  apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

 

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
