Big Star's 2005 studio return, CD contains 6 bonus tracks-5 previously unissued. Liners from original album contributors and the surviving band members. Big Star formed in 1971, and in their brief 4 years together, created 3 albums that consistently make "Best of All-Time" lists. 18 years after officially disbanding, original members Alex Chilton and Jody Stephens joined forces with The Posies' Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow for a live performance, which led to a tour (documented on Omnivore Recordings' Live In Memphis), and years of concerts. While the live shows were a joy and surprise, a bigger surprise happened in 2005.
