Il terzo album dei Big Star, Third, verrà ristampato il prossimo 14 ottobre da Omnivore Recordings. La nuova edizione del disco, intitolata Complete Third, conterrà ben 69 tracce suddivise in tre CD, e oltre al disco originale presenterà in scaletta demo, rough mix e versioni alternative dei brani.
Third uscì nel 1978, quattro anni dopo la conclusione delle caotiche session di registrazione e lo scioglimento della band. Di seguito trovate la copertina del box e la tracklist completa della ristampa, oltre a un trailer di presentazione [via Rolling Stone America].
