My Rival

It's mid-to-late 1975, what remained of Big Star is no longer, 'Third/Sister Lovers' was sitting on a shelf and Alex Chilton was in Memphis at a very low point. Chris Bell spent a large part of the year in London trying to get a solo record deal, but turned up empty and flew home to visit family in late summer. While at home, Bell was cutting more solo tracks at Ardent, one of which, 'You and Your Sister' needed a harmony vocal, so he called in Alex. Fans have long thought that was the last recording of Bell and Chilton collaborating in the studio, but within what was probably a few days of that session, they were in the studio together again, with Bell engineering a set of demos for Alex. Chilton laid down early takes of 'My Rival' (later re-cut for the 'Like Flies On Sherbert' album) and 'All of The Time' (later re-cut for the 'Singer Not the Song' EP and the 'Bach's Bottom' album) as well as the then unissued tracks, 'She Might Look My Way' (which first appeared on co-writer Tommy Hoehn's 1978 album, 'Losing You to Sleep') and 'Windows Hotel' (which finally saw release in 2015 on the live album, 'Ocean Club '77').
