From TechnologyTell.com:
Omnivore Records, working with remaining Big Star original member Jody Stephens, not only found the third album master tape, but also Jody had five original copies he made available with this reissue series.
Contains Big Star Third - Ardent Records issue and a sample of the sheet music included with Big Star III, Omnivore Records
What is so stunning is not only have they reproduced the recording log sheets included in a archival quality plastic slip case style bag, but you also get a reproduction of what I have to assume is the original SHEET MUSIC the band made for the recordings and arrangements.Wow!
Then there is the vinyl, which is thick and perfectly centered and dead quiet. Songs like “Holocaust” and “Kangaroo” sound just amazing, with a great sense of dynamics I never really experienced on the CD versions! Big acoustic guitars crash up against a feeding back electric guitar amp and drums that pound out their beats like the last dying steps of a grand dinosaur before it crashed to the ground in exhaustion as the earth melted down around it. This song has been covered by many (including Jeff Buckley) and I’ve heard it many times before on CD, but its never jumped out at me like this. And it makes total sense coming right before the tear-jerking last gasps of the band on “Take Care”:
