I hope the holiday weekend treated you well. I spent some time revisiting Big Star’s #1 Record/Radio City, which was recently remastered and, though I thought impossible to improve, sounds pretty damn fine to these ears. Whenever I return to the Big Star catalog I also have to give Wilco’s take on “Thirteen” a couple spins as well. In the event you don’t have it in your collection, I’ve got a download for you below.
