The collection will feature blockbuster hits such as “Walk This Way,” “Love in an Elevator”, “Crazy,” “Cryin,” and “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” along with other songs that helped to certify the Boston band as hard rock legends.
Whilst the standard LP contains 10 tracks, Aerosmith are releasing multiple editions including a 4LP Deluxe Edition which contains 44 tracks that span across their entire career.
Few rock bands can lay claim to the kind of success Aerosmith have had in their 50 years career. They’ve sold more than 150 million albums across the world, been a part of extravagant record-shattering global tours and broken numerous boundaries with their music.
In 1986, Run-DMC worked with Aerosmith on their 1986 album, raising hell, to cover their song “Walk this Way”. It was the time rock and hip hop joined together and the song became an international hit, winning both groups a Soul Train Music Award for Best Rap Single in the 1987 Soul Trian Music Awards.
The band also starred in the SNES game, Revolution X Aerosmith, in 1994. Later, in 1999, they became the first band to have their own themed attraction at Disney World in Florida, and later Paris, with the launch of the Rock ‘N’ Roller coaster starring Aerosmith.
The album is available for pre-order on the Aerosmith official website and is available for pre-order at all other retailers and digital service providers on Thursday, June 22nd.
