I’ve been listening to Big Star this afternoon. I have "3rd" on 4 Men With Beards and now the copy I recently won is "3rd : Sister Lovers" on PVC.
Looking closer, it seems I have the 1985 Jem release, no bar code. The first release of "Sister Lovers" was apparently in 1978 on (Visa Records).
The only difference I can hear between these two pressings is the 4MWB is a little more open and lacks some of the warmth of the other pressing. IE: the 4MWB is slightly thin by comparison.
Right now, I like the PVC pressing better. One thing I do know is that I haven’t listened to this record near enough. Greatness!
