Big Star box set on the way

Rhino is releasing a four-disk Big Star box set on Sept. 14.

Titled Keep An Eye On The Sky, the set spans the Memphis-group's music from 1968 through to 1975.

It will include unreleased material such as unused demos, alternate takes and lyrics as well as live recordings. The fourth disc was recorded live in Memphis in 1973.

On the same day as the CD box set and digital release of Keep An Eye On The Sky, a deluxe edition of Chris Bell’s solo album I Am The Cosmos will also be released by Rhino Handmade.
