Take a look at Mike Hsu’s Vinyl Dump Ep 56: Big Star!
Although this is a fantastic overview of the album, we would be remiss if we did not correct a few misreported items in the video. First, Jody and Alex were dating sisters, but they were not twins. Also, test pressings were not sent to radio stations- they were exactly what the name suggests – they were the test pressing that a record company would listen to before they would authorize a full run of pressings. Therefore, there were usually only about 5 made of each record and that’s how many originals were a part of the 2000 albums pressed for this run, not 200. There are still 2 out there somewhere!
