A shambling wreck of an album, Big Star's Third/Sister Lovers ranks among the most harrowing experiences in pop music; impassioned, erratic, and stark, it's the slow, sinking sound of a band falling apart. Recorded with their label, Stax, poised on the verge of bankruptcy, the album finds Alex Chilton at the end of his rope, sabotaging his own music long before it can ever reach the wrecking crew of poor distribution, indifferent marketing, and disinterested pop radio.

If any album deserves the boxed set treatment, it's this one. The original Third project involved three distinct stages, and those stages are expertly documented across this three-CD set: stripped down solo demos (disc one), original band session rough mixes (disc two), and final master mixes with completed overdubs (disc three). The next year I read in Billboard that a test pressing of a 3rd Big Star album was making the rounds. I kept on waiting for it to appear. and at some point I learned that it wouldn't. So when Alex played the Rat in Boston in 1977, Erik and I introduced ourselves (I don't believe we mentioned the prior encounter, since it seemed ill-advised to remind him of it).

3rd Album is strangely enough not their third full-length album but their fourth and was originally released in 1971. Their influence reached well beyond their generation: even bands like Nirvana and The Prodigy used Shocking Blue's "Love Buzz". 3rd Album is strangely enough not their third full-length album but their fourth and was originally released in 1971. This reissue comes with six bonus tracks consisting of singles and b-sides and a gatefold sleeve. 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

Talk about Big Star - 3rd


Cemav
I own several different pressings of this and after doing several comparisons this pressing beats out all others! The top 3 with the word top used very loosely. #1 this pressing (dojo porky press)#2 1st pvc press a distant 2nd#3 2nd pvc sterling hub press sister lovers 1985. This one sounds very dull and flat. No life at all.

Reclaimed a copy after selling it a few years back. What a mistake that was, but fortunately these are floating around for reasonable prices nowadays. If 4 Men With Beards have any diamonds in their largely offensive catalog, this is that diamond. It sounds great. Why they can't do this with all of their releases is beyond my comprehension. My copy is fairly quiet and the disc itself is flat. The mastering sounds superb. Save your money on those expensive box sets and pick this one up.
Nidora
It is a strange album, at once beautiful and tender and devastating and hollow, both conservative and experimental, desiring to attract and confound listeners. I feel like I'm in the middle of this music when listening, a three dimensional space. It's on my emotional wavelenght like no other music. I resonate in time with the music and all barriers collapse. At times I can feel almost too raw to keep listening to but there are also moments of extreme tenderness and beauty.

nice pressing, sounds great. good job all round.
Ginaun
Great, warm sound. Absolutely recommended
Trash Obsession
My copy says "Sister Loves" on both A and B side labels. Anyone know anything about this?
greed style
A half baked shuffle sequence of three quarters of maybe the best record ever made.
Gugrel
Excuse me, 1988 is correct!
Phenade
I think the album was published 1978
ARE
I have read that this is the same mastering job as the 1992 Rykodisc issue. Can anyone confirm or deny?
Ylonean
Yup,its the same,though the (reprint of the original) track listing would lead you to suppose otherwise.
Briciraz
ps.The text I included is the actual type from the embossed letter found in the record. It's missing the test pressing number because I'd like to stay as secret as I can about having this...
Jare
This is not the standard pressing released on record store day!This is the actual original test pressing that was signed by Jody Stephens and includes an embossed insert.Don't be fooled and add this mistakenly!
