Big Star recorded their second album, Radio City, as a trio, after the departure of founding member Chris Bell. When it came time to tour, original bassist Andy Hummel decided to return to school to pursue his engineering education. With this departure, Alex Chilton and Jody Stephens recruited fellow Memphis native John Lightman to take over on bass duties, and the band readied their live set. That set is on display as Big Star recorded a radio session at Ultrasonic Studios in New York for broadcast on the city’s preeminent WLIR. Nearly two decades later, those recordings were issued as Live in 1992. Omnivore Recordings is proud to reintroduce those recordings, restored and remastered from the original tapes, as Live On WLIR, on CD—and, its first official release on LP. The 15 track set features material from the band’s two releases, as well as a cover of “Motel Blues” by Loudon Wainwright III (which originally appeared on his classic 1971 sophomore release, Album II). With new, updated liner notes from Memphis writer\/filmmaker, Robert Gordon (who won a Grammy® for his essay in 2010’s Big Star boxed set Keep An Eye On The Sky) and an interview with John Lightman by Chris Bell biographer Rich Tupica (There Was A Light: The Cosmic History Of Big Star Founder Chris Bell), Live On WLIR enters the Big Star canon in the form it deserves. Because, you know, you get what you deserve.\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\u003eSeptember Gurls (Live On WLIR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWay Out West (Live On WLIR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMod Lang (Live On WLIR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Lie To Me (Live On WLIR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO My Soul (Live On WLIR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview (Live On WLIR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ballad Of El Goodo (Live On WLIR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThirteen (Live On WLIR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm In Love With A Girl (Live on WLIR) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotel Blues (Live On WLIR) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn The Street (Live On WLIR) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Get What You Deserve (Live On WLIR) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaisy Glaze (Live On WLIR) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Of A Car (Live On WLIR) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe's A Mover (Live On WLIR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"103","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50557060219176,"sku":"81665101723","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3607369-2620985.jpg?v=1763982116","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/big-star-live-on-wlir-lp-1665101723","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
