Album: Big Star, Keep an Eye on the Sky, (Rhino)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ahead of the reissue of the Memphis power-pop superheroes' first two albums comes this four-disc set, a rattlebag of bits, bobs and things that were never meant to see the light of day. It is, of course, an academic exercise only to be properly appreciated by scholars.
And the scholar in you will thrill less to the alternative mixes of familiar songs than to the demos and pre-Star efforts, which leak the same admixture of sincerity, reverence to masters (Beatles mostly) and frazzled energy. Beautiful in small parts.
