Legacy

Big Star is an American rock band that was founded in 1971 in Memphis, Tennessee. Although they disbanded in 1974, they later reformed in 1993. The band consisted of Alex Chilton on vocals, Chris Bell on guitar and vocals, Andy Hummel on bass and vocals, and Jody Stephens on drums. Sadly, both Chilton and Hummel passed away in 2010, but Stephens continues to keep the Big Star legacy alive.
With their unique sound and influential music, Big Star made a significant impact on the rock genre during their active years. Their songs showcased powerful vocals from Chilton and Bell while also incorporating catchy guitar riffs and harmonies. Despite their initial lack of commercial success, Big Star gained a cult following over time.
In recent years, Jody Stephens has resurfaced as the only surviving original member of Big Star. His dedication to preserving the band's legacy has led to continued recognition for their contributions to rock music. Fans can still enjoy the timeless music created by this iconic American rock band.

Legacy is Sony Music Entertainment's catalog and reissue label. It was introduced by Columbia Records in 1960 for historical recordings. In 1990, CBS Records relaunched Legacy for reissues and repackaged releases. Since then, it has been used by CBS's successors. The label, sometimes indicated as "Legacy Recordings," is known for its extensive collection of *historical recordings* and *reissued albums*. With a focus on preserving the rich musical heritage of various artists and performers, Legacy offers music enthusiasts an opportunity to explore timeless classics and rediscover iconic sounds from the past.

The mythic, yet, short lived Memphis band comprised of Alex Chilton, Chris Bell, Andy Hummel, and Jody Stephens named Big Star, resides in the highest realms of power pop accolades for their three - at the time, overlooked- studio albums recorded between 1972-1974. Twenty years after their unceremonious dissolution, drummer Stephens recruited Posies' Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow and a wary Alex Chilton to reform Big Star at the request of two fanatical student DJs from University of Missouri. This two LP Record Store Day gatefold package finally captures that full historic set for the first time on a commercial release, mastered at high resolution from the original master tapes, and adding five previously unreleased performances to it's original release in 1993 and now accurately re-titled, Complete Columbia: Live at University of Missouri 4/25/93.
