BIG STAR THIRD Original US 1978 Release on PVC Records 7903

Later re-released as "Sister Lovers" in the early 1980's, this is the 1st issue of this Big Star masterpiece.

Vinyl is VG++ Nice Gloss, No spindle marks. Jacket is a conservatively graded VG with faint shelf/ring/edge wear, cut out near top LEFT front corner and small price tag on the right. **Inner sleeve is plain white, no liner notes.** All issues are clearly visible in pics.

I grade as accurately as possible, landing on the conservative side when in doubt.
For my money this is the best of all three Big Star LP's, an over looked masterpiece of beautiful desperation. Also one of Jim Dickinson's finest production efforts! From ALLMUSIC: After Big Star released Radio City, they fell apart, leaving Alex Chilton to record in 1975 what was later released as 3rd (aka Sister Lovers). The album is strikingly different from everything Chilton created before or after. With pained outpourings such as the haunting "Holocaust," it holds its own against rock's greatest monuments to existential angst, from Tonight's the Night to Bryter Layter. It also ranks alongside the Beach Boys' SMiLE as perhaps the only "classic" album with no set sequence. (Chilton never bothered to sequence it because, upon its completion, no label wanted to release it.) It finally came out four years later, and since then, while it has appeared on several labels, no two have used the same track order.
