All tracks taken from Complete Third box set. This is a re-imagining of the infamous Big Star album that was finally released in 1978 without a set title or running order(!)  Such was the state of affairs at the time--nobody could even agree on who the band's name is that put it out. Some call it an Alex Chilton affair with back-up musicians including Big Star bandmate Jody Stephens and his 'muse' at the time, Lesa Aldridge. Her sister also was dating Stephens at the time. This led Chilton to coin the 'Sister Lovers' phrase that has been used as a title for the album and even suggested as the name of the band itself, lol. Listening to the alternate mixes, I split the album into two halves. This mix is mostly done by engineer John Fry. The other disc I will do next will focus on the Dickinson mixes. Stay tuned!

  1. I'm so glad to see everyone branching out and doing bands I'm not familiar with beyond their names or biggest hits. For those constructors that do not provide a download I do try and put it together myself if I can. Sadly I have no Big Star in my library so I will have to track this down first. Looks promising. Thanks as always for your work.

  2. Thanks for checking us out! If you use Spotify, you can re-construct (most) of the projects I've put up with what is already available in their library. Here's a link to Sister Lovers
