Rolling Stone included it in their “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” list, while the publication included song “Thirteen” in their “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” list the following year. Chilton and Bell employed a Lennon/McCartney style of collaborative songwriting-Chilton taking a visceral approach, often laying down guitar and vocal tracks in one take, while Bell added polish with overdubs and harmonies. #1 Record is the only Big Star album that has the combined writing power of both founders, Alex Chilton and Chris Bell. This is the first time in many years that this version of the album will be sold independently of Big Star’s second album, Radio City. Remastered from the analog stereo masters, this reissue will allow fans to appreciate #1 Record as a standalone album.
Originally released in 1972, #1 Record is the debut album from Big Star, a critically acclaimed, Memphis-based band often credited with creating the power pop sound.
