Boston : Don't Look Back (Expanded Edition)

 


I CAN SEE,

IT TOOK SO LONG

 JUST TO REALIZE

I'M MUCH TOO STRONG

NOT TO COMPROMISE


Don't Look Back 

is the second

 studio album

 by American

 Rock Band

 Boston,

 released in 1978

 by Epic Records,

 as the band's 

last album

 on the label.

The album

 reached No. 1

 in both the US 

and Canada, 

and No. 9

 in the UK. 

The title track 

helped with the

 album's success, 

reaching No. 4

 in 1978

 on the

 US Billboard

 Hot 100 

and remains one 

of the band's

 biggest hits. 

The album sold 

over one million copies 

in the ten days

 following its release 

and was certified

 7× platinum

 by the RIAA 

in the US

 on

 April 11, 1996.

The album's 

two-year gap 

from its predecessor 

marks the

 shortest 

between two

 of the band's 

studio albums

 to date; 

guitarist, 

producer

 and primary

 songwriter 

Tom Scholz 

claimed that 

Epic executives 

pushed him

 and the band

 into releasing

 the album before

 they felt it was ready.

 He also felt that the album

 "was ridiculously short".

Their next album, 

Third Stage

was not released for

 another eight years, 

by which time

 the band and record label 

had parted ways

 and fought

 a courtroom battle

 that Boston

 ultimately won.

Recording

Don't Look Back

 was recorded during 

1977 and 1978 

at Scholz's 

Hideaway Studio,

 except for the piano on

 "A Man I'll Never Be", 

which was 

recorded by

 engineer 

Dave Butler

 at Northern Studio

 in Maynard, 

Massachusetts.
