I pre-ordered mine via Amazon in the US, the tracking says it's not going to be here until this coming Tuesday. :sad: :sad:

There are so many of these mixes floating around, which ones are these? The lost mixes or the found mixes? and is there really any difference. After 40 years it all sounds the same to me. I've bought this album so many times I just can't see doing it again

Not familiar with these guys, but I'm enjoying the album a lot.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

The CD release of the "found" mixes. The vinyl album was released earlier in the year. The best I've heard the album sound.

I'm on the fence, I want it but I don't know how much I'll actually listen to it, it's one of those albums of my youth that I played a million times or more. I listened to some samples on amazon and it does sound good.

If I could go back in time and get into one cult band while they were still obscure it would be Big Star. When I listen to this LP, I hear all the bands they influenced after the fact, but it would have been incredible to have heard this in 1972. Sure, they're also playing to their influences, but there is still something so unique about their sound. Just total life affirming music.

Big Star are like Bowie for me: I love so many of the artists who cite them as an influence, yet when I listen to the inspiration, the adoration escapes me. I wish I liked both Bowie and Big Star more, but the connection just isn't made. :meh:

I'm probably like you on this one. I have some Big Star and listen to it occasionally, I really wanted to be "in to them" because I had read of what huge influence they were on Paul Westerberg & the Replacements. I enjoy some bootlegs of Alex Chilton playing live solo as well as with the Mats, but again, I'm not a huge fan, but I don't skip over their songs when they come up in my rotation.
