There were a bunch

There were a bunch of good new releases this week,
but this is also a good week to think about picking
up some new “old” stuff. First, Ryko has finally
released the Big Star Story, which features a great selection
of tracks, including “Hot Thing”, an all-new song by the
“modern” Big Star (Chilton and Jody plus Posies Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow).
Next, there’s the U.S. release of Teenage Fanclub’s 4766 Seconds collection, which
features 3 all-new songs:

The World’ll Be OK
Empty Space
Did I Say

And last but not least, DO NOT forget about Rhino’s Expanded and Remastered
Editions of Television’s Marquee Moon and Adventure. Marquee Moon
features 5 bonus tracks:

Little Johnny Jewel
See No Evil (alt)
Friction (alt)
Marquee Moon (alt)
Untitled Instrumental

and Adventure features three bonusees:

Adventure
Ain’t That Nothin’ (alt)
Glory (alt)

What’s more, Rhino Handmade is offering (in a limited edition of 5,000) a special
collector’s release of Television: Live At The Old Waldorf, San Francisco, 6/29/78

If you do not currently own at least Marquee Moon (and i shit you not, you really really should),
I would say that this is a hella good time to go pick it up.
