The legendary: #1 Record. For sure one of the best albums of all time, and definitely one of our all time faves. Released in 1972 by Ardent and distributed by Stax. Big Star didn’t attain the recognition they really deserved and this incredible album, despite amazing praise, did not sell like it should have. Big Star, and this album, has since become one of the most cherished things ever by music lovers. Every single track is beautiful and inspired, amongst those Thirteen, The Ballad of El Goodoo, In the Street, Feel, Don’t Lie To Me, When My Baby’s Beside Me and just the whole thing is a gorgeous event. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked it number 438 on their list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, which, in our opinion, should be way, way higher. CONDITION Vinyl: EX Sleeve: EX Vinyl looks in excellent condition, almost near mint, with slight signs of age, use and sleeve wear showing only a few small light marks and scuffs that cannot be felt and when tested, plays remarkably well with very minor background noise Sleeve looks in excellent condition, almost near mint, with very slight signs of age, use and shelf wear showing lots of gloss, very minor corners dings, especially bottom left corner, very minor edge wear, especially on top some small peels, some slight fade and no visible ringwear A very stellar copy, for sure Please review pictures carefully.
