29 ZUIDER ZEE Zeenith

Big Star may have been criminally underappreciated in the band’s lifetime, but they were household names compared to fellow Memphis power-poppers Zuider Zee, who only issued one album before fading into obscurity. This comp of surprisingly assured unreleased tracks from 1972-74 should help restore their reputation. A must for connoisseurs of Nilsson, Rundgren et al.
