EVERY TIME THAT
I LOOK IN THE MIRROR
ALL THESE LINES
ON MY FACE GETTING CLEARER
THE PAST IS GONE..
Aerosmith
is the debut
studio album
by the
American Rock band
Aerosmith
released on
January 5, 1973,
by Columbia Records.
"Dream On",
originally released
as a single in 1973,
became an
American top ten hit
when re-released
December,27th 1975.
The album peaked at
number 21
on the US
Billboard 200
album chart
in 1976.
Background
After entering a partnership
with Frank Connelly,
David Krebs
and
Steve Leber
invited members of two
record labels
Atlantic Records
and
Columbia Records
to view an
Aerosmith concert
at
Max's Kansas City.
Clive Davis,
the president of Columbia,
was impressed
with the band
and
Aerosmith signed
with Columbia
in the summer of 1972.
Although lead singer
had been in
several previous groups,
most of the
band members
had never been in
a studio before.
The band was
heavily influenced
by many of the
British blues/rock bands
of the 1960s,
including
the Rolling Stones,
the Beatles,
Led Zeppelin,
the Yardbirds,
and
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.
Get Your Wings
is the second
studio album
by American
Rock band
Aerosmith
released on
March 15, 1974.
The album was
their first to be produced
by
Jack Douglas,
who also was
responsible
for the band's
next three albums.
Three singles were
released from the album,
but none reached
the singles charts.
The album has been released
in stereo
and quadraphonic,
and certified
triple platinum by
the RIAA.
Background
In January 1973,
Aerosmith released its
to little fanfare.
As guitarist
Joe Perry recalled
in the 1997
band memoir
Walk This Way,
"There was no
nothing at all:
no press,
no radio,
no airplay,
no reviews,
no interviews,
no party.
Instead the album
got ignored
and there was
a lot of anger
and flipping out."
The band had been
somewhat nervous
recording their
first album,
with vocalist
going so far
to alter his
singing voice,
and they had
very little chemistry
with producer
Adrian Barber.
In response to the
album's
lack of success,
the group
toured extensively
and built
their fanbase,
taking a break
in December 1973
to record their
follow up album.
The group recorded
the album at
New York's Record Plant,
with
Jack Douglas
serving as
the producer.
Douglas would go on to
record several albums
with the group.
