Out of print for almost 30 years. Includes rare never-before-seen vacation photos by Anna Lee Van Cleef who shot the original album cover. 1987’s High Priest was the first full length solo record for legendary frontman Alex Chilton (Big Star/ Box Tops) since 1979’s ground shaking Like Flies on Sherbert.

It shows Chilton in full control of his faculties as both a musician and a musicologist. He leads a solid band of Memphis/ New Orleans studio heavyweights through 4 newly penned originals and a well curated list of covers. What it lacks in polish, it more than makes up in charm, verve and just plain ol’ soul.

This could be what rock’n’roll is all about.” Trouser Press
