The emphasis is on music so we learn about their influences."Mojo, November 2009"Bruce Eaton's thorough investigation into the history of rock music's most influentially unrecognised acts of the '70s, Memphis, Tennessee's Big Star, and the recording of their second album Radio City, does much to clear up decades of misinformation and mythology, shedding light on session recordings, the artists present and how the album was pieced together. It's that kind of detailed musical reporting that the 33 1/3 series is known for. Eaton's own personal history of playing in a backing band with Alex Chilton (Big Star's vocalist/songwriter) adds a neat spin and the interviews contained with the band members and album producer, all casting their thoughts back a good 30 years to reflect on a busy time for the band, are flawless.recreating the scene after the fractious fall-out of the departure of original member Chris Bell and how they picked up the pieces to create Radio City is retold and relived, in studio and on-stage by the people who were there. It's about as an authoritative and informative an exposition as you could hope for.the 33 1/3 series are a fascinating and revealing collection of books. Written by music fans for music fans, this series will never grow old, never grow boring, and goes far into explaining the mysticism and appeal behind these priceless bodies of work, for your own personal pleasure or just in case you happen to know someone who just doesn't understand."Webcuts Music, 2009"Un must have pour tous les maniaques de la grande etoile, et pour tous les autres aussi."magic, September 2009"Page-turning celebration of Big Star's power-pop masterpiece.[Eaton] elicits fresh interviews with those who were in the room at the album's conception. That includes the recalcitrant Chilton and John Fry, the George Martin figure whose engineering expertise was a crucial part of the album's sound. Eaton has a gift for locating the album's slippery, unknowable essence in a tale whose epic sweep spans 17th century Canterbury and New York's Mudd Club in the early 1980's. Compacted with enthusiasm, this is a concise, effective primer in Big Star history."Classic Rock Magazine, January 2010Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplore.
