Big Star: Radio City (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP
"Big Star, considered to be among the founders of power pop, has been cited as an influence by many of the major alternative bands of the ’80s and ’90s, and continues to be a powerful presence in today’s musical landscape. Artists such as R.E.M., Teenage Fanclub, The Replacements (who famously penned the song 'Alex Chilton') and Wilco all enthusiastically tout the artistic impact of the group. Mike Mills recalls Big Star as 'a band who had gotten it right, who made records that sounded like rock and roll bands should sound. A band who wrote all the songs, from flat-out rockers to achingly beautiful ballads that were still somehow rock songs.' Radio City is the second album from Big Star. Released in 1974, Radio City includes 'September Gurls' and 'Back of a Car' which remain some of the most famous Big Star songs. The legacy of Radio City has far exceeded the original commercial letdowns of both albums (Radio City and #1 Record), which are now considered to be milestones in the history of rock by critics and musicians alike." - Craft Recordings
