Info for Aerosmith (Legendary Expanded Edition Remastered)

Aerosmith’s blistering eponymous debut showcases the legendary band’s high-energy riffs, powerful rhythm section and soaring vocals which would become their trademark sound for over 50 years.

Aerosmith released their eponymous debut on January 5, 1973. They recorded it at Boston’s Intermedia Studios on Newbury Street, cutting future classics like “Make It,” “Mama Kin,” and “Dream On” during the sessions. The record took a long time to catch on, and the quintet toured relentlessly for two years until “Dream On” took flight in late 1975. The song eventually climbed into the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 and has become one of the most popular rock ‘n’ roll songs in history. In 2018, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Aerosmith co-founders Steven Tyler and Joe Perry have newly mixed the original recordings and tapes alongside Grammy Award-nominated producer and mixer Zakk Cervini and Grammy Award-winning producer Steve Berkowitz.

The quintet – singer Steven Tyler, lead guitarist Joe Perry, rhythm guitarist Brad Whitford, bassist Tom Hamilton and drummer Joey Kramer – had been playing together since 1970 – even sharing a home together on Boston’s Commonwealth Avenue – and were famously signed to Columbia Records by Clive Davis after a last-minute booking at Max’s Kansas City in New York. But other than Tyler, who’d penned most of the material on the album and had cut a few singles in previous band The Chain Reaction (where he was credited under his birth name Steven Tallarico), most of the members had barely set foot in a professional studio. Working with producer Adrian Barber in the local Intermedia studio was not easy; Perry has long expressed his discontent for the album’s sound, while Tyler once quipped, “I’m not sure if it was because he was so high, or because we all were.”

Nonetheless, Aerosmith’s unique, blues-rooted hard rock sound was galvanizing to anyone lucky enough to hear it. Tracks like “Mama Kin” and “Movin’ Out” (the latter being the first of many written by the duo of Tyler and Perry) crackled with confidence, and the magical “Dream On,” written by Tyler in his teens, featured a distinctive circular riff that wisped around listeners like smoke, building to a thunderous climax where Tyler lifted his voice to new heights (cementing his longtime reputation as The Demon of Screamin’). The track was an immediate local hit, but Aerosmith took years to find an audience; only after the release of third album Toys in the Attic in 1975 did critics feel the band were stepping away from imitating bluesy British contemporaries like The Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin. Columbia subsequently reissued the album (redesigning the cover closer to what is seen on the new package) and recirculated “Dream On” to radio and record stores, and in 1976 it became their first of an impressive eight Top 10 hits charted through the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and ’00s.

Aerosmith
Legends. Icons. Idols. These are the words used to describe those rare bands that have been adored for a lifetime and immortalized as distinct creators of rock and roll. But what these reverent words are missing is the notion of now. How do you reconcile a generation-spanning word like icon with the quick beat of the present? Aerosmith does it. The band members are legends, icons and idols, dynamic in the present; as cool and innovative now as they were thirty years ago. They are a phenomenon, a force of nature, trail-blazing, unstoppable, showing no signs of slowing down.Unique even among the select handful of rock bands who are still active after their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Aerosmith has sold over 100 million albums.

Think for a second about how big a number that is and how many people have heard their music. Huge! Steven Tyler on vocals, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford on guitars, Tom Hamilton on bass, and Joey Kramer on drums. They’ve outdone the trends and fads of rock and roll to become one of the most powerful and electrifying forces in popular music.

Rewind for a minute to the early ‘70s, when the phrase “sex, drugs and rock & roll” was a rebellious teenager. Enter Aerosmith with a sexy swagger and thrusts ofmetal, glam and boogie woogie. Tyler’s lyrics laced with double entendres and witty humor perfectly complimented by the entire group cool urban charisma. Beyond driving rock and roll tunes, Aerosmith created quintessential power ballads such as Dream On. This dual skill set gave the band a string of gold and platinum albums, including Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic and Rocks.

The early ‘80s were rockier times, with Perry and Whitford temporarily leaving the Aero fold to pursue solo projects. The guitarists returned in 1984 and soon after, Aerosmith was back in the saddle again. And they have been on top of the charts ever since. Albums like Permanent Vacation, Pump, Get a Grip and Nine Lives, Just Push Play, and their latest release, the blues-inspired 'Honkin' on Bobo', have all been huge successes. And the killer videos – a driving force of the video medium, these Boston rockers led the look, style and attitude of the ‘80s MTV generation. Videos for Dude Looks Like a Lady, Livin’ On the Edge and Crazy (starring Liv) are solid MTV classics. And later, with videos like Pink and Jaded, Aerosmith continued to cut the edge.

Always a step ahead of the pack, Aerosmith’s Just Push Play is the first album to be produced by band members Steven Tyler and Joe Perry (along with Mark Hudson and Marti Frederiksen). The unforgettable pop melodies and bone-shaking rock riffs that are Just Push Play sent Aerosmith even further on their path to musical immortality.

'Honkin' on Bobo' was released in March 2004, and as one Rolling Stone review put it: "Aerosmith don't have much time for pain on Honkin' on Bobo. The songs are mostly about gettin' some, then gettin' outta there -- Dixon's "I'm Ready," Bo Diddley's "Road Runner" -- and the attack is heavy Sixties shindig: snarling guitars, thunderclap drumming, Steven Tyler's 3-D snake hiss and widescreen yowl. Bobo is really a combined tribute: to the originators of the blues' core repertoire and the explosive, electric inventions of 1960s British bands such as the Yardbirds, Mayall's Bluesbreakers and the Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac." (David Fricke, Rolling Stone)

With such an unstoppable passion for creating great music, a unique creative vision and an unyielding appreciation for their fans, there are no limits to what the future holds for Aerosmith.
