An album of newly discovered live tapes by power-pop pioneers Big
Star, entitled Nobody Can Dance, is slated for release March 9, according
to Miriam Linna of Norton Records. The disc -- compiled with help from Big Star
singer Alex Chilton and drummer Jody Stephens -- includes
eight songs from a March 1974 tour rehearsal and seven from a show two
months later at Memphis, Tenn.'s Overton Park band shell. Among the cuts is a
concert take of "The Letter," Chilton's 1967 hit with the Box Tops.
