A selection of Big Star songs have been compiled for a new best-of compilation on Stax. It’ll feature 16 tracks from the group’s three albums, #1 Record, Radio City, and Third. See the tracklist below. Among the selections are a handful of rare single edits. The set will also feature an introduction by Jody Stephens, the group’s drummer and only surviving member, as well as liner notes from Robert Gordon, who produced the concert film Big Star: Live in Memphis.
