Keep An Eye On The Sky

BIG STAR Keep An Eye On The Sky (2009 UK 4-CD album set - Big Star inspired a fevered allegiance among fans of power pop, giving rise to a cult of believers who spent decades spreading the gospel. 'Keep An Eye On The Sky' spans 1968 to 1975 and shows the progression of Big Star through selections from such studio precursors as Rock City and Icewater; music from Big Star's acclaimed recordings ['#1 Record', 'Radio City' and 'Third/Sister Lovers']; and relevant solo work by group principals Alex Chilton and Chris Bell, who formed Big Star in 1971 with bassist Andy Hummel and drummer Jody Stephens. The collection also uncovers a trove of unreleased demos, unused mixes, alternate versions of songs, and a 1973 concert recorded in Memphis. Presented in deluxe packaging complete with a picture booklet containing extensive liner notes, rare and never-before-seen photos, and insightful essays about the cult of Big Star and the band's history!)
