Big Star, Posies, Arnold: Mean Fiddler, London
Josh Rinkoff, Rock's Backpages, 25 August 2001
A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE told me about an amazing group called Big Star. He said I should go out and buy a copy of their double album, as it was rather good. On his advice I purchased a two-in-one copy of #1 Record and Radio City. Being of a Hebraic persuasion, I thought that if they were as a good as my friend suggested I was quids in. I took it home put it on. They were even better than he'd said.
