Door het concert van de Big Star All Star Band in De Melkweg, 21 november 2012, en de aandacht die o.a. De Wereld Draait Door daaraan schonk, staat de legendarische powerpopband meer in de belangstelling dan ooit, lijkt het wel. Ook vertoonde het IDFA de documentaire 'Nothing Can Hurt Me' over de groep. "As object of intense devotion, it's fitting that Big Star receive a box set treatment: 4 discs containing every song the band cut in the '70s, often present in slightly alternate mixes or versions in addition to the originals, a clutch of solo songs from both Chris Bell and Alex Chilton, as well as a handful of pre-Big Star cuts by Icewater and Rock City, all topped off with a live disc, recorded in January of 1973, not long after Bell left the band. Excepting subsequent reunions in the '90s and 2000s, no corner of the band's career remains untouched, with 55 of the 98 tracks previously unreleased. But there are no unheard songs, aside from an excerpt of Rock City's "The Preacher"." (S.T. Erlewine, Allmusic)
