However, those were not the only tracks Bell had recorded in his post-Big Star years. In 1974–1975, Bell worked in the famed Château D’Hérouville near Paris, France, and later recorded at both Shoe Studios and Ardent Studios in Memphis. Some of that material arrived in 1992 as I Am The Cosmos to great acclaim. An expanded 2009 release nearly doubled the track listing, adding alternate mixes, as well as some of Bell’s pre-Big Star recordings. With those early recordings now taking their proper place on Looking Forward: The Roots Of Big Star (released by Omnivore in July, 2017), it is now time for the definitive version of I Am The Cosmos. In addition to the bonus material found on the 1992 release and 2009 reissue, this new 2-CD \/ Digital set adds 10 more tracks, 8 of which are previously unissued and 2 making their CD debut. The packaging contains updated liner notes from set co-producer Alec Palao as well as Bob Mehr and features previously unseen photographs. Also available the same day, the original 12 track “album”—first pressing on clear vinyl (with download card). All Chris Bell projects are being approved and overseen by Chris’ estate run by his brother, David. With renewed reverence for his work in Big Star, as well as a look back at his earlier work, and an upcoming biography from Rich Tupica, the stars have aligned. This expanded edition of I Am The Cosmos arrives at the perfect time for long-time fans, as well of those who are just discovering the magic of Chris Bell.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Am the Cosmos (Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter Save Yourself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed of Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake a Scene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Got Kinda Lost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Kinda Got Lost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake a Scene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFight at the Table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don't Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFight at the Table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThough I Know She Lies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Am the Cosmos (Acoustic Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou and Your Sister (Acoustic Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook Up (Acoustic Movie Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled Acoustic Instrumental (Movie Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Am the Cosmos (Extended Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter Save Yourself (Alternate Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed of Sound (Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Away (Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou and Your Sister (Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake a Scene (Alternate Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFight at the Table (Alternate Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don't Know (Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed of Sound (Alternate Version Backing Track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStay with Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn My Darkest Hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Long Baby (Aka Clacton Rag)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFight at the Table (Outtake Track with Partial Vocals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou and Your Sister (\"Country\" Underdub Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Away (Outtake Track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter Save Yourself (Outtake Track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Am the Cosmos (Alternate Backing Track with Piano)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled Electric Instrumental (Movie Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThough I Know She Lies (Movie Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"103","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50556911092008,"sku":"81665101325","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3700027.jpg?v=1763981993","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/bell-chris-i-am-the-cosmos-lp-1665101325","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
