#1 Album. This was also not too shabby
Big Star are a recent discovery of mine having heard a track on 6 music. Like a 70's American Rock version of the Beatles which is no bad thing
Edit* I see this is some archival compilation type thing and not a proper album
Keep An Eye On The Sky is a great compilation. It has all 3 albums, alt takes, demos and live. That's really all you need. Some of the album tracks however are remixes though and the albums are differently sequenced. I guess if you want to be completest (like me) the individual albums might be good to have, but not essential. I love them! Another band that never got the recognition in their time. They really came to light in the early nineties when they were getting name dropped and playing with Teenage Fanclub. They reformed for bursts after that. Need to dig that comp out.
