Description
In 1977, Alex Chilton was 10 years out from his Box Tops hit The Letter and recovering from the recent collapse of his power-pop band Big Star. Still in his mid-twenties, the Memphis singer tried his luck in New York, playing gigs like this one (in strong quasi-boot fidelity) that were as close, in plaintive voice and power-trio scruff, as he ever got live to the open wounds on Big Stars farewell, 3rd. Theres a song from that LP here, Night Time, along with earlier Big Star jewels and odd, magnetic originals from a rejected Elektra demo. Its all clanging pop delivered with scrappy purism the way Chilton did it forever after.
