Giveaway: Big Star 4-Disc Box Set and Chris Bell's 'I Am the Cosmos' Reissues
Dec. 8, 2014
As perhaps the definitive power-pop band, the legacy of Big Star has only grown over the four decades since their beginnings in Memphis. Following a 2005 comeback album, a well-received documentary and numerous retrospective features, as well as the recent passing of founding members Alex Chilton and Andy Hummel, Big Star was again a fresh wave of attention, highlighted by the box set Keep an Eye on the Sky, a four-disc, 99-track collection featuring every song the band recorded in the '70s, recordings from pre-Big Star affiliated bands, and a live show from 1973.
This box set, along with the two-disc expanded edition of I Am the Cosmos, the sole solo recording of late Big Star guitarist and founding member Chris Bell, have been reissued, and we're giving away a copy of each to two lucky AllMusic readers. Keep reading to find out how to enter to win one of these Big Star prize packs.
