Alex Chilton, A Man Called Destruction: Expanded Edition (Omnivore)

CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
2-LP Vinyl: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada 

In 1995, the late Big Star and Box Tops frontman Alex Chilton returned to Memphis' Ardent Studios, the site of his classic work with Big Star, to record A Man Called Destruction.  Blending original songs with a host of eclectic covers from the likes of Chris Kenner ("Sick and Tired"), Jan & Dean ("The New Girl in School"), and Jimmy Reed ("You Don't Have to Go", the album marked Chilton's return to his signature blue-eyed soul sound with nods to garage rock, R&B, and even jazz (the album boasted a horn section).  Omnivore's CD reissue boasts a full seven previously unreleased tracks from the original sessions with new liner notes from author Bob Mehr putting it all into perspective.  Additionally, the label will release a vinyl edition of the complete edition.  This double-LP release will be initially pressed on translucent blue vinyl, and will include a download card, as well.  Read more here, and watch for a full review soon!
