Big
Star Reference
is designed to be the complete directory to
all things Big Star on the internet.
We have a new address: http://www.septembergurls.com.
All mail should be directed to webmaster@septembergurls.com
to ensure a prompt response.
This is a not-for-profit fan site. Generating
no revenue, it is a project built and maintained with love and respect
for Big Star music. We do not receive commissions from the online stores
we link to, yet we surely encourage you to buy and enjoy Big Star related
material (Alex Chilton, Box Tops et al.) and pass your love for it to those
less fortunate to have never heard them.
Big Star Reference contains links to external
sites. Frontline arts is not responsible for the availability of such sites
and is not responsible or liable for any content from such sites.
Links:
It's what we do best! Over 130 Big Star
related links and always growing. New links have a (*) before the link
name, indicating they are less than a month old on our site.
Broken Links:
The last thing anyone wants to see on a web site
is a broken link. With your help, we can make sure this rarely happens.
Broken links can be easily reported (no forms to fill out) by clicking
on the [x] symbol next to each respective link. A report will be sent to
the Webmaster informing him to check it out.
Cached Pages:
Many of the pages that we link to have been cached
on our server. If for some reason a site decides to remove their material,
or goes offline altogether, odds are we have a back up of the page to replace
it with. If we do replace a page with our cached version, a notice concerning
this will be prominently displayed on the top of each respective page.
Search Engine:
We have implemented the first and only Big Star
search engine. Every page we link to is included in our database. Only
Big Star related hits. Is there really any other worthwhile content on
the net?
Customization:
Use the "My Big Star Page" option to add your
own personal favorite links on the Big Star Reference main page. You might
want a link to Yahoo.com, or some other band site. Wherever, it's up to
you. Click on the "My Big Star" circle located in the top right of the
main page and get customizing. Note: All links you create are saved
as cookies on your machine. They are accessible only by the particular
browser and machine that you created them on. Neither Big Star Reference
nor any of it's visitors can see or access these links.
