Chilton, Alex
Dusted In Memphis (and Elsewhere)
First time re-issue of the legendary Alex Chilton album Dusted In Memphis, originally released in 1980. For many, this
is Alex's finest. Includes a second bonus album full of unreleased material; covers, alternate versions, fantastic
demos, and infamous complete KUT radio session. All culled from the period between 1975 and 1980, a troubled - but
prolific and brilliant - time for Chilton. This is deconstructed rock n roll, perfect pop songs perversely pureed,
punkabilly before the term was coined, chaotic, trashy, beautiful. Allegedly, the only copy of these recordings that
anyone associated with was lost in the house fire that claimed Alex Chilton's mother's life. If this is true, and the
masters have been lost, it is truly a great, great shame as these are possibly the best post-Big Star recordings of
Alex's long solo career. This quite legendary bootleg bridges the gap between Sister Lovers (1978) and Like Flies On
Sherbert (1979). It contains the Elektra demos with some songs that might be regarded amongst Big Star's finest if they
would have found a proper release.
