Featuring exclusive 1975-76 Ardent Studios recordings with Tommy Hoehn, Jon Tiven, Chris Bell and Alex Chilton (from BIG STAR), as well as Rick Clark, Hilly Michaels and Jim Dickinson. LP/CD OUT NOW on HoZac Archival features the complete PRIX recordings, an essential Memphis power pop masterpiece that was sadly only available in Japan on CD-only in the early 2000s, first time on vinyl for most of these tracks.
“Within the vast pool of talent that came up in Big Star’s wake, Tommy Hoehn’s records, both as a solo and as part of PRIX, are among the most worthy. I’ve loved those tunes since I first heard them, and they still sound energetic and supremely melodic.” – Peter Holsapple (Little Diesel, The dB’s)
