TRIBUTE TO ALEX CHILTON
NOT THE SINGER BUT THE SONGS (1991)

Released in 1991 on the spanish label Munster Records and compiled by Inigo Munster, "Not The Singer But The Songs" was a tribute to Alex Chilton (Big Star and solo eras) featuring bands from the USA (Wishniaks, Dangtrippers, Mitch Easter, 27 Various, Young Fresh Fellows, Ben Vaughn...), Australia (Chevelles, Pyramidiacs...), Spain (Los Valendas,Vancouvers...), UK, Sweden, and even France (Dum Dum Boys). The album was available in two versions, the CD regular one had 23 bands/songs while the vinyl double LP edition had three bonus bands/tracks (Exploding White Mice / September Gurls / Preachers).

Special note: You'll find both versions as they had been available back then, therefore the custom tray of the LP rip is different from the CD one. The cd rip was given to me by a spanish mate.
