#BostonPeachy #NewYorkNotes @Aerosmith #Aerosmith ‘AEROSMITH – 1971: THE ROAD STARTS HEAR’ MAKES ITS CD AND DIGITAL DEBUT AND IT EARNS WHOM YOU KNOW'S HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION
DREAM ON, INDEED.
Once upon a time there was a girl who grew up in New England and she heard that Steven Tyler and Joe Perry met each other while they were scooping ice cream in Boston. We're not sure if that is true but what is certain is that the sound of Aerosmith was a winner from the start and AEROSMITH - 1971 THE ROAD STARTS HEAR is absolutely the start. If like us you had yet to exist in 1971, here's your time travel ticket back to see just how extraordinary they were so early on. Just as amazing as this baby Aerosmith sound machine on a cd is the cover and its multiple page fascinating story complete with Clive Davis recognizing their talent from the start, and it has earned our highest recommendation.
In the first of many announcements celebrating the 50th anniversary of the four-time GRAMMY® winning and Diamond-certified rock legends Aerosmith, one of their earliest recordings, Aerosmith – 1971: The Road Starts Hear (UMe), will make its CD and digital debut on April 8. This rare recording from 1971 was recently discovered in Aerosmith’s Vindaloo Vaults and was originally only available as a limited-edition cassette and vinyl release for Record Store Day in 2021. The heavily sought-after RSD release quickly sold out and debuted on the Billboard 200, hitting No. 2 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, No. 12 on the Top Rock Albums chart, No. 13 on the Vinyl Albums chart, and No. 19 on the Top Album Sales chart.
The Road Starts Hear can now be preordered/presaved, HERE. In addition, the band’s official online store will also feature a new 1971 collection of exclusive merchandise, available HERE.
