Aerosmith- Toys in the Attic 50th- Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Joey Kramer, Tom Hamilton, Steven Tyler 4-7

Hard as it may be to believe, on the eve of the release of their third album Toys in the Attic in April 1975, the Boston-based hard rock band Aerosmith was not very well known. Their debut single from the first album, “Dream On”, had been released but stiffed- twice. However, because of the songs “Walk This Way, “Uncle Salty”, “Sweet Emotion”, “No More, No More”, the honkin’ cover of Bullmoose Jackson’s “Big Ten Inch”, and the riff-rockin’ title song, Aerosmith’s Toys in the Attic would peak at #11 sales, go on to be certified nine times platinum, and playfully occupy the #228 spot on Rolling Stone magazine’s Top 500 Albums of All Time.

Join the guys here In the Studio the week of April 7 as week dust off Toys in the Attic on its fiftieth anniversary. –Redbeard
