Rough Mixes Of Music From Big Star's Hit Album "3rd" On Double LP!

Ask any of the original participants who made the record, and none of them would say they expected this album to even see a real release, much less end up on Rolling Stones list of the 500 best albums of all time . . . Its an amazing snapshot of the artists and the times and circumstances in which the recordings were made. Its a great testament to Third that an album that almost nobody was interested in at the time of its pressing, is now loved and sought out by an ever growing legion of fans. I guess thats called ahead of its time. Excerpt from Adam Hills Complete Third liner notes.

Record Store Day/Black Friday saw the release of the first in a series of three volumes of double LPs that will contain the entire, critically acclaimed Big Star Complete Third boxed set. Volume 2, titled Roughs To Mixes continues the journey, featuring rough mixes from producer Jim Dickinson, as well as Ardents John Fry, with over 15 previously unissued tracks. Almost every song on this collection is making its vinyl debut.

Included are Lesa Aldridges take on The Velvet Undergrounds After Hours, and a version of For You with vocals from Alex Chilton (songwriter and Big Star drummer Jody Stephens sang the iconic album version.)

This release is the bridge from the early demos, and the listener can feel the progression toward what would be listed as one of Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time Big Stars Third.
