Jacket incorrectly lists as Andy Hummel as the writer of "O, My Soul", which was in fact written by Alex Chilton.

I was all prepared to hate this. Even though I've been a huge Big Star fan for 20-plus years, there is a limit to how many times the same songs from three albums can be compiled, yet again. And I noticed that it's heavy on the first album at the expense of the third (no "Holocaust" or "Kanga Roo"?).But damn if this isn't a fun and enjoyable comp. Including single edits/mixes/versions varies things up a bit (not that I don't already have these versions, but it's nice to have them all in one place). And by only including the poppiest moments of the third album, it really makes the case for Big Star, the power pop legends. 46 minutes spread across 4 sides of vinyl seemed a bit extreme to me, but it turns out it plays at 45 RPM, and that's kinda neat. My only complaint is that the first disc has a few pops and even one skip. They'll probably disappear with a good cleaning, but I hate that this is so common with new, SEALED vinyl these days. I feel like I should get at least one good listen without having to clean the record.

Me again...a trip through my Spin Clean did clear up the pops and the skip. So at least it wasn't a problem with the pressing itself.Big Star fans who are on the fence about this thing...you know you want it...go ahead and get it!
