Description
In the fall of 1973, following the departure of Chris Bell, Big Star regrouped and began work on their second album with Alex Chilton at the helm and John Fry once again behind the console. Losing the creative input of a major talent such as Bell could have wreaked havoc on the band's progress, however, Chilton was able to use this opportunity to shine, and prove himself to be an incredible songwriter on his own. Journalists and fans agreed: bearing another tongue-in-cheek title, Radio City garnered rave reviews and produced several cult favorites, including "September Gurls," which has been covered by everyone from The Bangles to Superdrag.
