Oh, hit the twofer of the first two Big Star records, for sure.  Much more
like the Bell material, and much more immediately accessible.  Just don't
freak out when one of the songs turns out to have been the theme to a sitcom
which came into existence, flourished, was cancelled, and provided Demi
Moore with a husband all a couple of decades after it was originally
recorded.  (You may already know that from the live record, though).

Bonus Rainy Day-related content:  also contains a song later covered by The
Bangles!
