Released in 2005, In Space is the fourth and final studio album from Big Star. Formed in 1971 in Memphis, Tennessee, the group’s early releases languished in obscurity until, during the 1980s, the then-defunct band was championed by younger bands, including The Replacements, who recorded a loving ode to Big Star frontman, Alex Chilton on the album Pleased To Meet Me. When Chilton reactivated the band in the 1990s, along with original drummer Jody Stephens, he invited Jonathan Auer and Ken Stringfellow of The Posies to join on bass and guitar. That lineup remained intact until Chilton’s death in 2010. In Space will be reissued in October with additional tracks. We’ll hear selections from the original release as well as music from the upcoming Replacements’ boxed set, Dead Man’s Pop.
