Big Star

Omnivore does an in-depth vault dive into the creation of Big Star's Third for a new 3-CD box set.  Complete Third includes every demo, rough mix, outtake, alternate take and final master from the Third sessions known to exist. The 69 tracks on this set represent the culmination of a decade-long search to assemble all extant recordings for the album originally released in 1978.  Some alternates and demos have appeared on various compilations over the years, but this first-of-its-kind collection presents every track in context - including 29 never-before-released tracks captured by producer Jim Dickinson and engineer John Fry.  The result is a journey from the album's conception to its (delayed) release.
