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.

The seminal debut album from the quintessential American power pop band now available on domestic vinyl for the first time in a generation. Features the classic line up of Alex Chilton, Chris Bell, Andy Hummel and Jody Stephens. LP includes faithfully restored sleeve and label art.

#1 Record is the only Big Star album which has the combined writing power of both founders, Alex Chilton and Chris Bell. Fervent Anglophiles, Chilton and Bell employed a Lennon/McCartney style of collaborative songwriting to create their debut Chilton taking a visceral approach, often laying down guitar and vocal tracks in one take, while Bell added polish with overdubs and harmonies. #1 Record has become widely recognized as a milestone album in the history of rock 'n' roll. In 2003, Rolling Stone included it in their '500 Greatest Albums of All Time' list, while the publication included song 'Thirteen' in their '500 Greatest Songs of All Time' list the following year.
