A quite beautiful, timeless pop song. Mid way between The Byrds and early R.E.M. In the eighties Big Star were pretty much the ultimate underground, cult band. Talked about in hushed tones by musicians but, in Britain at least, impossible to buy. I recorded this off an Andy Kershaw show in the mid-part of that decade and for years that was all I got to hear of them until, (in the early nineties I think), the original albums were finally re-released.
