. Aerosmith (Columbia) 1973

SIDE ONE
1. "Make It" (3:38)
2. "Somebody" (3:45)
3. "Dream On" (4:27)
4. "One Way Street" (7:00)

5. "Mama Kin" (4:27)
6. "Write Me" (4:10)
7. "Movin' Out" (5:02)
8. "Walkin' the Dog" (3:12)

Originally released with the smaller band photo and the orange sunrise, the album's cover was eventually changed to the cover on the right, which says, "Aerosmith feturing 'Dream On'". The originals quickly became collector's copies. The initial pressing also had a misprint on the back cover spelling with "Walking the Dog" spelled as "Walking the Dig". These are extremely rare collector's copies.

Aerosmith - Get Your Wings (Columbia) 1974 SIDE ONE 1."Same Old Song and Dance" (3:53) 2."Lord of the Thighs" (4:14) 3."Spaced" (4:21) 4."Woman of the World" (5:49) SIDE TWO 5."S.O.S. (Too Bad)" (2:51) 6."Train Kept a Rollin'" (5:33) 7."Seasons of Wither" (5:38) 8."Pandora's Box" (5:43)

"Get Your Wings" repressing with yellow wings replacing the gold.

The original vinyl release of "Get Your Wings" had gold wings printed with a metallic Pantone (PMS) ink, whereas later reprints replaced the gold for a cheaper (CMYK) yellow. Trying to find an original vinyl issue of this album in mint condition was quite the chore. Going to various used record shops and record conventions, copies were easy to find, but in most cases the covers were tore up, badly worn or both. I finally managed to secure an initial printing still in the original shrink wrap. The vinyl is in very good condition as well.

Aerosmith - Look Homeward Angel (Fanstasy Disco F7868)
Format: Vinyl, 7 tracks, 33 min 45 sec
Recorded at: Shaeffer Music Festival, Central Park NY, August 29, 1975.

SIDE ONE
1. S.O.S. (Too Bad)
2. Somebody
3. Dream On
4. Write Me A Letter

SIDE TWO
1. Walk This Way
2. Train Kept A Rollin'
3. Toys In The Attic

One of the more widely distributed Aerosmith bootlegs. This album was first pressed on ZAP (ZAP 7868) and then again on Fantasy Disc, which is the copy I own. It has since been transfered to CD and distributed under several different names. The recording is superb and is a stereo recording from a King Biscuit Flour Hour FM Broadcast. "Walk This Way" is listed as "Walkin' The Dog", on both the vinyl releases. I had the original ZAP release back in the day and the artwork was slightly different f rom the Fantasy Disco release. Written at the Bottom of the back of the album cover: "Produced by Luis Martinez, Fantasy Disco, 12 Calle 3-21 zone 1, Guatemala City".

Aerosmith - Rocks (Columbia) 1976

SIDE ONE
1."Back in the Saddle" (4:40)
2."Last Child" (3:26)
3."Rats in the Cellar" (4:06)
4."Combination" (3:40)

SIDE TWO
5."Sick as a Dog" (4:11)
6."Nobody's Fault" (4:25)
7."Get the Lead Out" (3:41)
8."Lick and a Promise" (3:05)
9."Home Tonight" (3:16)

Like "Get Your Wings" it was difficult to find a copy of "Rocks" where the cover and the LP were in good condition. Finally managed to secure a copy for myself with the original album pressed on the bumpy paper with the embossed logo and diamond photo. Also included the original, collage, sleeve insert. The cover has slight ring wear but I have yet to find a better copy of the original pressing.

Aerosmith - Draw the Line (Columbia) 1977

SIDE ONE
1."Draw the Line" (3:22)
2."I Wanna Know Why" (3:08)
3."Critical Mass" (4:50)
4."Get it Up" (4:01)
5."Bright Light Fright" (2:19)

SIDE TWO
6."Kings and Queens" (4:53)
7."The Hand that Feeds" (4:21)
8."Sight for Sore Eyes" (3:51)
9."Milk Cow Blues" (4:10)

Another Aerosmith LP that is in abundance but is also extremely difficult to find in good condition. Being that the album cover was white and pressed on a non-coated stock, the paper easily picks up dirt and marks if not taken very good care of. I managed to secure myself an original pressing still in the original shrink wrap that still had the stickers on the front. Picked it up at a shop for $6. Also contains the original gold wings logo inner sleeve and t-shirt order form. If I ever get the chance to meet Aerosmith in person, this would be the album I would want to have signed. The "6" in the picture above was the price sticker and is stuck to the shrink wrap, not to the album cover.

The original vinyl copy of "Live! Bootleg"was a gatefold LP and included a giant poster that featured a large stage shot of the band, as well as several close up shots of the band members on the bottom. Found a mint copy of this in a used record store while in California with my band.

One of many spectacular Aerosmith vinyl bootlegs that were released in the 70's. Aerosmith had done some many great FM broadcasts, and many of them were released as bootlegs. This particular show was from the Draw the Line tour and was recorded live at Veterans Auditorium, Columbus, Ohio, March 24, 1978. Sight For Sore Eyes taken from this concert appears on the Live Bootleg release. On the Live Bootleg literature it details the concert date incorrectly as 2/24/78 but the extra liner notes on the 20-bit SBM CDs give the correct date. The labels on the albums are labeled Poverty Records, Buddy Love Sings About Girls.

I purchased this album as a new release when I was in high school. While walking through a flea market with my girlfriend at the time (now my wife) we found a brand new, giant promo poster for this album. Unfortunately in my madness in the early 1990's I sold off the poster and the original vinyl. Finding a new copy turned out to be harder than I expected. I did finally manage to secure a mint copy with the original shrink wrap still secure on Ebay. Unfortunately it came without the original sleeve insert. Of course this was unacceptable to me and I had to keep searching for another copy with the insert. I eventually found another copy on Ebay very cheap. Contacted the seller to inquire about the inner sleeve, even though it was obvious from the photo that the cover had a lot of ring wear. Thankfully the original insert was still there and in good shape with only slight tearing, so I grabbed it just for the inner sleeve.

5. "Shela" (4:25)
6. "Gypsy Boots" (4:16)
7. "She's on Fire" (3:47)
8. "The Hop" (3:45)

The original vinyl release does not include the track "Darkness", which was on the CD version. "Darkness" was later released as a 12" EP along with three live tracks (see below). see CD listing for full review

Aerosmith - Darkness (Geffen) 1985

SIDE ONE
1. "Darkness"

SIDE TWO
1. "She's One Fire" [live]
2. "The Hop" [live]
3. "My Fist Your Face" [live]

A 12" vinyl single released to support "Done With Mirrors". At the time of it's release, the vinyl release of "Done With Mirrors" did not contain the song "Darkness" making this EP a neccessity for record collectors. On top of the unreleased track, three live songs on side two made for one cool EP. CD releases of "Done With Mirrors" contained "Darkness" but the live tracks are still essential, especially since Aerosmith soon stoped playing any material from "Done With Mirrors" after the success of "Permanent Vacation". The live tracks were recorded live at the Worchester Centrum, Boston, MA March 12, 1986. A bootleg of the complete show was also released under the title "Classics Live! Outtakes".

Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like A Lady) (Geffen) 1987

Side One
1. "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)"
Side Two
2. "Simoriah"

7" vinyl single for Aerosmith's mega hit ballad, "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)". This song helped to put Aerosmith back into the spotlight. The song was eventually immortalized in the comedy Mrs. Doubtfire.

Aerosmith - Angel (Geffen) 1987

Side One
1. "Angel"
Side Two
2. "Girl Keeps Coming Apart"

7" vinyl single for Aerosmith's big hit ballad, "Angel". Aside from "Dream On", I always felt this was one of Aerosmith's best ballads.

Aerosmith - Rag Doll (Geffen) 1987

Side One
1. "Rag Doll" (4:21)
Side Two
1. "Mama Kin" [live] (3:56)
2. "Dream On" [live] (4:54)

12 inch vinyl single for "Rag Doll" featuring two excellent live cuts, both recorded from the CCM Radio One "In Concert" series. The broadcast was on January 6th, 1990.

Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like A Lady) Geffen 1987

Side One
1. "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)" [Extended Rockin' Dude Mix] (5:47)
2. "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)" [Rockin' Dude Edit] (3:53)
Side Two
3. "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)" [Urban Dude Mix] (6:45)
4. "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)" [Dude This Way] (3:57)

12" radio promotional single with four different mixes of "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)" wrapped in a generic Geffer Records sleeve. Yes, these are DANCE CLUB versions of Aerosmith's big hit off "Permanent Vacation". Yikes! These will most certainly drive any hard rock fan up a wall. Listening to this record, another Aerosmith song came to mind, "Once is enough, it's one time too many..." A collector's item and nothing more.

Aerosmith - Pump (Geffen) 1989

1.   "Young Lust" (4:19)
2.   "F.I.N.E." (F**cked, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional) (4:08)
3.   "Going Down/Love in an Elevator" (5:38)
4.   "Monkey on My Back" (3:56)
5.   "Water Song/Janie's Got a Gun" (5:40)
6.   "Dulcimer Stomp/Other Side" (4:56)
7.   "My Girl" (3:10)
8.   "Don't Get Mad, Get Even" (4:48)
9.   "Hoodoo/Voodoo Medicine Man" (4:41)
10. "What It Takes" (6:28)

This was actually the first Aerosmith record I didn't purchase on LP. Back in 1989 I had begun listening to the new technology, Compact Discs. "Pump" was one of the first album I purchased on CD. It wasn't until over a decade and a half later that I scored an excellent vinyl copy of "Pump" complete with the inner sleeve.

Aerosmith - Limited Edition Hits EP-Donnington '90 (Geffen) 1990

Side One
1. "The Other Side" [Club Mix Edit]
2. "Love in An Elevator" [Edit]
Side Two
3. "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)"
4. "Walk This Way" [Edit/with Run DMC]

An odd collector's EP containing edited versions of some of Aerosmith's biggest 80's hits. "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" is the only song that is not a radio edit version. The cover is a gatefold and features a huge photo of Steven Tyler in front of a stadium/festival crowd and a smaller band photo, as well as a biography by Andrew Kenny. The original release came with a "free logo window sticker".

Aerosmith - Cryin' (Geffen) 1993

Side One
1. "Cryin'"
Side Two
2. "Walk on Down"
3. "I'm Down"

A unique, 12", European collector's single pressed on white vinyl and released to promote the "Get A Grip" record. The cover itself has a small dye-cut wings on the upper right hand corner revealing the white vinyl inside.

Aerosmith - A Big Ten Inch Record (Columbia) 2002

1. "Rats in the Cellar" (4:06)
2. "Lord of the Thighs" [live] (7:13)

A ten inch vinyl single that apparently was given away as a promotional item but is not rare and highly sought after. I didn't even know this record existed until recently when it showed up in my mail. BIG thanks to TrogDawn for the hook up. In anycase, "Rats in the Cellar" is taken from "Rocks" and "Lord of the Thighs" is recorded live at the Texxas Jam 1978.

Aerosmith - Just Push Play (Columbia) 2001

SIDE ONE
1. "Beyond Beautiful" (4:45)
2. "Just Push Play" (3:51)
3. "Jaded" (3:34)
4. "Fly Away From Here" (5:01)
5. "Trip Hoppin'" (4:27)
6. "Sunshine" (3:37)

SIDE TWO
7. "Under My Skin" (3:45)
8. "Luv Lies" (4:26)

11. "Light Inside" (3:34)
12. "Avant Garden" (4:53)
14. "Under My Skin" [hidden at the end of track 12] (1:01)

Quite frankly I didn't even know this one was available on vinly until I stumbled upon a brand new, sealed copy at a record convention. Picked it up for $10. Along with the import CD version and my U.S. CD version of "Just Push Play" I know own three copies of this release. I can only assume that "Under My Skin" is also hidden at the end of the vinyl version of "Just Push Play". My copy is sealed and staying that way.

Aerosmith - Honkin' On Bobo (Columbia) 2004

SIDE ONE
1. "Road Runner" (3:46)
2. "Shame, Shame, Shame" (2:15)

SIDE TWO
7. "You Gotta Move" (5:30)
8. "The Grind" (3:47)
9. "I'm Ready" (4:15)
10. "Temperature" (2:52)
11. "Stop Messin' Around" (4:32)
12. "Jesus Is on the Main Line" (2:50)

As soon as I heard that "Honkin' On Bobo" was going to be available on LP, I jumped on it. Just another piece in the never ending Aerosmith collection. Another album, along with "Draw the Line" that I would love to have signed some day.
