This Paste article talks some about the provenance of the songs on IN SPACE: http://www.pastemagazine.com/action/article?article_id=2233&page=2 The consensue seems to be: "Lady Sweet" for Auer, "Turn My Back on the Sun" for Stringfellow, "Best Chance" and "February's Quiet" for Stephens, and Chilton in the driver's seat for the rest. ("Mine Exclusively" and "Aria Largo" are covers, of course.) Someone named B. Cunningham gets a co-writing credit on "Hung Up With Summer," which does sound a little different from the other Chilton songs. - Dan ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2006 12:46:25 -0500 From: "Stewart Mason" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Big Star - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Sallitt" > The consensue seems to be: "Lady Sweet" for Auer, "Turn My Back on > the Sun" for Stringfellow, "Best Chance" and "February's Quiet" for > Stephens, and Chilton in the driver's seat for the rest.

Bill Cunningham, who was also in the Box Tops and was on the periphery of the Big Star crowd, especially in the early days. I believe he was in some of the formative Chris Bell bands as well.
