Music Review: Big Star - #1 Record/Radio City Reissue - Page 2

These two albums were also reissued in one package a few years ago.  This reissue is nearly identical. The liner notes are exactly the same and the there are only two new tracks. The two new tracks are only remixes. The remix from #1 Record is “In the Street” and the remix from Radio City is “O My Soul”.  They sound like remixes of the same instrument tracks, it does not even sound like a different take was used.  They are unessential to Big Star fans.  There has to be some more interesting material lying around that would be more illuminating than these remixes.  

If you have never bought these two albums and are a power-pop fan than this is a perfect package for you.  These albums are absolute essentials. Big Star fans invariably own all of these songs already and have little to no incentive to re-buy.
