Listening Party: Chris Bell - I Am The Cosmos
Chris Bell was a founding member of Big Star, but he recorded just one complete solo album before his short life ended. A 45-rpm single featuring the songs "I Am The Cosmos" and "You and Your Sister" was released on Car Records in 1978 just prior to his death in December of that year.
The full length album I AM THE COSMOS didn't see a release until 1992 on the Ryko label. This deluxe edition builds on that '92 release to include previously unissued songs from Chris's pre-Big Star bands, Icewater and Rock City. Also featured are previously unissued alternate versions from I AM THE COSMOS sessions and some post-Big Star tracks.
