Big Star's Radio City [Paperback]

Released when ELP and Elton John were plodding from one packed stadium to the next,Radio Citywas a radical album influenced by records that were already deemed oldies and yet sounding like a lean electrical jolt from the future. Here, Bruce Eaton examines the key ingredients ofRadio City's lasting appeal- and through extensive interviews with all of those involved, gets to the heart of the cult of Big Star.

Bruce Eaton is a writer and jazz concert producer who lives near Buffalo, NY. He is the author of two successful business books. He played bass and guitar with Alex Chilton on dates in Buffalo, Toronto and New York, and set up Chilton's notoriously distastrous 1981 tour.
