Big Star - I Got
Kinda Lost (2013) [FLAC] {8CD set with bonus 9th disc}

This is the expanded 'I Got Kinda
Lost' Big Star box set. Previously this set was contained to four discs and was jam packed with all kinds
of Big Star related tracks.
Like the previous incarnations of 'I Got Kinda Lost', this
expanded 2013 release attempts to tell the story chronologically of Big Star through their studio outtakes and
alternate versions by keeping it more Big Star centric through the prism of Chris Bell and Alex
Chilton - the architects of the band.

The tracks are split up between the CD's to a timeline that carries
the listener from 1965 to roughly 1975.

This massive compilation is what one would call a 'fantasy release'.
It's designed to look 'official' but clearly it is not.
In fact, this box set carries a fake catalog number -
ST100/6 which is a direct homage to Chris and Andy who briefly had the idea (as a joke) that if
Ardent/Stax didn't release their completed #1 Record they were going to do it themselves (à la
bootleg it) and give it the mythical catalog number ST100/6. Their little idea has now come full circle, like a
bridge to the past.

Some notes:

- all sourced from CD or vinyl - no mp3 sourced
material!
- all artwork was created at 300 dpi - full size - saved as png
- all needledrops that appeared on
previous comps have been re-done (new transfers)
- disc 5, tracks 7 & 8 are fan mixes - they were so good and
too hard to pass on
- there has been no audio leveling between tracks or 'normalizing'. Tracks are represented here
as heard from their point of origin.



DISC ONE:

Disc one gets
started in 1965 with The Jynx, consisting of Chris Bell (guitar), Bill Cunningham (bass), David
Hoback (guitar), Dewitt Shy (drums) & Mike Harris (vocals). The first four tracks of disc one are
the only recorded tracks from the short lived Jynx which were recorded @ Sonic Studios in December of
1965.
By early 1966 The Jynx called it a day.

We then fast forward a couple of years to 1969
where Chris Bell ended up at Ardent Studios recording with Terry Manning; playing lead guitar on a
cover version of a then unreleased Beatles tune called 'One After 909'. Terry had acquired an incomplete
demo of the song from someone close to The Beatles. According to Terry, this cover version was Chris
Bell's first recording in a 'real studio'.
In addition to that, tracks 9 - 11 feature Chris Bell
contributing to songs that would wind up on Terry Manning's solo LP called 'Home Sweet Home'.

From either late 1968 or early 1969 are some Chris Bell experimental tracks called 'Psychedelic
Stuff' in which Terry Manning contributes.


During the years in between 1965 and 1968
this compilation doesn't focus on Alex Chilton because his work is more widely known with The Box Tops so
there is no reason to add those tracks here as this comp is about rarities and outtakes - not greatest hits.

Alex Chilton departs The Box Tops by late 1969 and records an album's worth of material along with
Terry Manning that will remain largely unreleased until roughly 1996 with the album title '1970' -
though reports say the material was actually recorded in 1969 - but due to contract stipulations with The Box
Tops the album is given the name '1970' so that the recordings can't be viewed as Alex breaking
contractual obligations with The Box Tops. Some of these solo tracks make up tracks 12 -23 on disc one. Of course
these are alternate or mono tracks that never appeared on the officially released Alex Chilton archival solo
album in 1996 called '1970'.

Tracks 18 & 20 are needledrops taken from a pristine vinyl 45
limited to 500 copies.

The cover of disc one features a colorized photo taken by Michael O'Brien of
the band in happier days (1971) at Alex's parents house (145 North Montgomery, Memphis, TN). Previously we've only seen
a few different shots from this session at Alex's house - all of them have been in black and white. It's interesting to
view one of these iconic photos in a colorized alternate way.

The reverse image of the cover features a black
& white photo of Alex and Chris in Ardent Studios. It is believed that year is either late 1971 or early
1972.

It's too bad that Omnivore used this same photo of Alex & Chris in the studio for the rear photo of
their 45 vinyl single of Alex Chilton's 'All We Ever Got From Them Was Pain' in which they
completely airbrushed Chris Bell out of the picture to make it look like Alex was the sole person in the
photo/studio!

That crappy omission has been corrected with this release.
The outside tray liner photo is
from the same session that yielded the restored photo as mentioned above with Alex and Chris.


 


 

 

 

 

 




DISC TWO:

By 1970, after recording this solo album at Ardent with
Terry Manning in 1969, Alex heads to New York City to try his hand at playing folk clubs.
Meanwhile, back in
Memphis, Chris Bell, Thomas Dean Eubanks, Terry Manning & Jody Stephens form a band in
1969 - 1970 called 'Rock City' and manage to record a proper album. This material makes up the heart of
disc two following the rest of Alex's solo material with Terry Manning.

Following the dissolution of
Rock City, another Chris Bell led band called Icewater, featuring Chris Bell, Jody
Stephens and Terry Manning with extended cast members that included Andy Hummel and Steve Rhea
circa 1970.
On a jaunt to New York City in late 1970 to shop demos of Icewater, Chris Bell and
Richard Rosebrough meet up with Alex Chilton. Alex tries to convince Chris to stay in NYC and form an
acoustic folk duo like Simon & Grafunkel. Chris tells Alex he is more interested in electric guitar in a band - like
The Beatles. Chris asks Alex to come and see them play in Memphis and Alex tells him he will.

In late
1970 (just before Christmas) Alex has left NYC and is back in Memphis and true to his word comes to see a 3-piece band
Icewater (Chris, Jody & Andy) playing a gig. After the gig Alex discusses with Chris a meeting date and to possibly
record. And so in February of 1971 Alex shows up at Ardent where Chris is and enters the studio, announcing he has a new
song to play called 'Watch The Sunrise'. Alex pulls up a stool and starts playing his Martin 12 string
acoustic guitar - meanwhile Chris is recording the performance and will ultimately add guitar parts to it.

The front cover to disc two features all four Big Star members in an unknown locale (presumably Chilton's house
- 145 North Montgomery, Memphis, TN). The rear cover features Alex Chilton hunched over an organ in Ardent
studios. The outside tray liner pic is Terry Manning recording Chris Bell in 1972.

 

 

 

 



DISC THREE:

At last Big Star has arrived with disc three! The cover photo is an outtake of the band in a relaxed,
light-hearted moment sitting in the front 3-paneled window of Alex Chilton's parent's house in 1971. 

The rear insert cover is of the band taken inside at Ardent Studios circa  late 1971. The outside tray liner
photo seems to be the proper posed photo of the cover but at this time it's believed they are not the same
session/day.
In fact if you look close enough to tray liner of disc 3 and the cover of disc 4, you will notice they
are wearing the exact same clothes with the exception of Chilton who has shed the red reindeer sweatshirt.

Track 12 is the real deal 45 single mix of 'In The Street'. This track is a recent needledrop taken from
pristine condition vinyl of a vintage Ardent Records vinyl 45 single. In the recent past, there appeared on CD
some tracks that claimed to be the 45 single mix but that wasn't really true. The real 45 single mix does not feature a
false start/stop.


 

 

 

 



DISC FOUR:

 

 

 

 




DISC FIVE:

Disc five covers the post #1 Record period and
picks up at the beginning of Radio City. The band demoed some songs between the 2 records with the
intention of including them on the next album. 

There is some confusion at this time among various collectors
concerning the song 'Another Place, Another Time'. No one is sure when this particular track was recorded.
Some speculators claim it was recorded/demoed for the Radio City album, others say it was a Chris
Bell solo track.
According to the end credits of the Big Star biopic called 'Nothing Can Hurt
Me' - the end credits list this song as a 'Bell/Rosebrough' composition. If that is the case -maybe it
wasn't intended to be a Big Star track - then again maybe it was. We just don't know - at this time.

Tracks 7 & 8 are fan remixes. These tracks have the potential of muddying up the trade pool - so this is important
to note to the collectors of these things.

Track 14 (O My Soul) is a needle drop from pristine
vintage vinyl and is not sourced from the 2009 remaster of the 2 for 1 #1 Record/Radio City CD. The track
from the remaster is very loud and based on that it was decided to go with the vintage needledrop of this track to
maintain some sort of vintage/authenticity.
This track was originally written by Chilton & Bell.

Unfortunately at this time in the band's history, Chris Bell quits the band, leaving Chilton, Hummel and
Stephens to continue and thus dropping Chris Bell's name from any songs he helped write, such as 'Back Of A
Car'.

 

 

 

 




DISC SIX:

During the period between #1 Record and Radio City
the band sort of fragments at this time after Bell's sudden departure and Alex begins recording with Danny Jones
(bass) and Richard Rosebrough (drums) as a three piece calling themselves 'The Dolby Fuckers', a
name that came from a statement Alex had made while in the studio regarding Dolby noise reduction.

The
Dolby Fuckers sessions produced these songs; 'Mod Lang', 'She's A Mover' and
'What's Going Ahn'.
Disc six, track 9 (Mod Lang - U.S. 45 single mix) is a needledrop
from pristine vinyl. This track was only released on vinyl, not on CD. 


 

 

 

 



DISC SEVEN:

By now in the band's story,
Andy Hummel has left for good and has chosen college over the music business. At this juncture it is interesting
to note that Andy along with Jody and Alex will make contributions on Chris Bell solo tracks during the years
1974 - 1975. These tracks were finally released in a collection postmortem in 1992 by Ryko called 'I Am The
Cosmos'. One could easily say that 'Cosmos' was more of a Big Star album not called Big Star than
Third/Sister Lovers. At least Chris' solo material featured more Big Star members and fringe
members than Third/Sister Lovers did!

Third/Sister Lovers is a great moody
Chilton (for the most part) solo album disguised as a Big Star album. Its track listing order disputed throughout
the years.
Jody Stephens contributes drums here and there and kicks in a song he wrote called 'For
You'.
It has been debated whether Third/Sister Lovers was actually meant to be a Big
Star album or a Chilton solo piece. And it does get sketchy here because throughout the years people's memories get
fuzzy.

One theory put forth says that the album was attributed to Big Star because the general public
would have been more aware of the name/band Big Star than the name of solo performer Alex Chilton. Maybe,
maybe not. Speculation is hard to prove here as one cannot prove or disprove the theory.

Regardless of the
theories out there, whether one views it as a grand Alex Chilton solo album or a legit Big Star album, the
name Big Star graces Third/Sister Lovers nonetheless and it is widely known as such among fans.

 

 

 

 




DISC
EIGHT:

The last disc (disc eight) of the chronological behemoth known as 'I Got Kinda
Lost', is the kitchen sink of the collection. It is the continuation of the Third/Sister Lovers
sessions as well as one '90's Big Star track, 'Hot Thing' taken from a rare compilation of a
defunct small indie record label.

Lastly, a handful of Chris Bell solo tracks round out the
collection. One of the Bell solo tracks, 'Make A Scene' is from a rare Ryko compilation called
'Medium Rare'.

The cover to disc eight features a colorized photo of Alex Chilton in
Ardent Studio circa 1972 and the back side of the cover features Chris Bell in Europe circa 1974 - a trip
he took accompanied by his brother David Bell & Richard Rosebrough that would find Chris meeting with
Geoff Emerick, George Martin and Paul McCartney.

The trayliner photo is a parting shot
of the band, a last 'goodbye' - the way they were and will always be remembered in our memories; youthful, great,
promising, rising, talented - stars, Big Stars!


Postlogue - 

Would the band
ever have gotten back together if Chris wouldn't have been killed? It's hard to tell for we cannot know with certainty,
the writer of these notes certainly thinks they would've sans Andy Hummel. 

Events/attitudes of
certain band members by the late 70's pointed to the inevitability of it, perhaps sooner than later. Unfortunately we
will never know but the band and its artists have left us with a most interesting body of work to ponder, fret over,
cherish, hold up as a beacon of greatness and pass on to the next generation as one of the greatest bands that almost
was.
