Title: Beautiful, Authentic Reproduction of a True Classic
Review: Unfortunately, the first time I heard this legendary record, I heard it on the Rykodisc CD re-issue.Not to say that the music wasn't still enjoyable, but hearing it here on this outstanding, high-fidelity, 180g vinyl is a whole different experience. Plus, it's in the original order, so the authenticity here is another giant perk to this edition.The transfer is superb- No noticeable noise or distortion, and a natural and warm tone throughout (but especially on acoustic guitar and on Chilton's masterfully shaky voice). "Blue Moon" was already one of my favorite Big Star tunes, and hearing it here was a lasting joy. Every track sounds better than ever.There's not too much else to say except that this is a masterpiece and a must-own, especially on heavy-weight vinyl.Definitely worth your money.R.I.P. Alex Chilton
