{"product_id":"chris-bell-i-am-the-cosmos-cd","title":"Chris Bell - I Am the Cosmos (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSealed. 2-CD set in tri-fold digipak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter co-founding Big Star, the world only received two tracks of new music from Chris Bell during his lifetime-a 1978 single on the Car Records label run by Chris Stamey (dB's, Sneakers) titled \"I Am The Cosmos\" b\/w \"You And Your Sister.\" He would tragically be killed in a car accident later that same year. However, those were not the only tracks Bell had recorded in his post-Big Star years. In 1974-1975, Bell worked in the famed Château D'Hérouville near Paris, France, and later recorded at both Shoe Studios and Ardent Studios in Memphis. Some of that material arrived in 1992 as I Am The Cosmos to great acclaim. An expanded 2009 release nearly doubled the track listing, adding alternate mixes, as well as some of Bell's pre-Big Star recordings. With those early recordings now taking their proper place on Looking Forward: The Roots Of Big Star (released by Omnivore in July, 2017), it is now time for the definitive version of I Am The Cosmos. In addition to the bonus material found on the 1992 release and 2009 reissue, this new 2-CD \/ Digital set adds 10 more tracks, 8 of which are previously unissued and 2 making their CD debut. The packaging contains updated liner notes from set co-producer Alec Palao as well as Bob Mehr and features previously unseen photographs. Also available the same day, the original 12 track \"album\"-first pressing on clear vinyl (with download card). All Chris Bell projects are being approved and overseen by Chris' estate run by his brother, David. With renewed reverence for his work in Big Star, as well as a look back at his earlier work, and an upcoming biography from Rich Tupica, the stars have aligned. This expanded edition of I Am The Cosmos arrives at the perfect time for long-time fans, as well of those who are just discovering the magic of Chris Bell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 1\u003cbr\u003e1 I Am the Cosmos\u003cbr\u003e2 Better Save Yourself\u003cbr\u003e3 Speed of Sound Ble\u003cbr\u003e4 Get Away\u003cbr\u003e5 You and Your Sister\u003cbr\u003e6 I Got Kinda Lost\u003cbr\u003e7 Look Up\u003cbr\u003e8 Make a Scene\u003cbr\u003e9 There Was a Light\u003cbr\u003e10 I Don't Know\u003cbr\u003e11 Fight at the Table\u003cbr\u003e12 Though I Know She Lies\u003cbr\u003e13 I Am the Cosmos\u003cbr\u003e14 You and Your Sister\u003cbr\u003e15 Look Up\u003cbr\u003e16 Untitled Acoustic Instrumental\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 2\u003cbr\u003e1 I Am the Cosmos\u003cbr\u003e2 Better Save Yourself\u003cbr\u003e3 Speed of Sound\u003cbr\u003e4 Get Away\u003cbr\u003e5 You and Your Sister\u003cbr\u003e6 Make a Scene\u003cbr\u003e7 Fight at the Table\u003cbr\u003e8 I Don't Know\u003cbr\u003e9 Speed of Sound\u003cbr\u003e10 Stay with Me\u003cbr\u003e11 In My Darkest Hour\u003cbr\u003e12 So Long Baby (Aka Clacton Rag)\u003cbr\u003e13 Fight at the Table\u003cbr\u003e14 You and Your Sister\u003cbr\u003e15 Get Away\u003cbr\u003e16 Better Save Yourself\u003cbr\u003e17 I Am the Cosmos\u003cbr\u003e18 Untitled Electric Instrumental\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41324490391686,"sku":"OMRE10133.2","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/2959\/9806\/files\/chris-bell-i-am-the-cosmos.jpg?v=1725029671","url":"https:\/\/www.parasolrecords.com\/products\/chris-bell-i-am-the-cosmos-cd","provider":"Parasol Mail Order","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
