Title: Love the band, hate the reissue
Review: When I heard that Big Star's classic two-fer was getting an all-new reissue, I was expecting great new liner notes, re-vamped sound and some new 2009 cover art. I knew the two bonus tracks weren't going to be special, but I didn't care. It was the sound & the packaging that mattered.Unfortunately, this CD fails on every level. The new remaster is not different enough from the 1992 version for me to feel any differently about it. There are no new sonic revalations. The packaging is arguably worse than the 1992 version, essentially photo-copying the artwork and notes over again.Recent Stax Records reissues have been generally fantastic (see: the Issac Hayes catalogue) and I won't even get on them for trying to cash in on the pre-box set hype. But just as it was waaaaaaaaaaay back in the 1970s, Stax has proven, yet again, they they simply don't know how to market Big Star.
