I bought my copy of Big Star's Radio City at Tropicalia Discos in Rio, Brazil. Dudes KNOW their sh@t. Deep seven inch knowledge of the most obscure + funky cuts from Brazil....
But, this is about the back cover. Big Star digs Fridays! The photo on the back the 1974 album was shot at Fridays restaurant. Was Fridays the hawt spot back in the day? Check the close-up. Probably accidental sponsorship. Nowadays the band could of gotten some corporate cheese.
Check out photographer William Eggleston's account of the shot of the iconic front cover. CLICK
Damn, I've listened to this record a lot...!
