PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

VERY CLEAN VINYL............

....rising in value ...first pressing from January 1973 ...this sought after collectible ...

Columbia re-designed this cover when Aerosmith started to become popular...

This is the ORIGINAL cover art design = completely different to the regular stock copy, with the orange top boarder and smaller group cover in clouds background. The regular issue has no orange top boarder and a full (large) group photo cover.

With their sharp-edged, bluesy swagger and irresistible riffs, Aerosmith made some of the best and most enduring rock records of the '70s. While their self-titled debut from 1973 is an accurate snapshot of a great band finding its legs. The raw, hard-hitting "Walkin' the Dog" indicates where Aerosmith is coming from: this is blues-rock taken to a headbanging level of intensity, yet with enough smarts and sass to keep it sexy and appealing.

AEROSMITH boasts the presence of "Dream On," a soaring, heavy power ballad that showcases Stephen Tyler's raspy, soulful pipes and went on to become an all-time rock classic and a perennial radio staple. Also here is the groove and punch of "Mama Kin," a longstanding concert favorite. Elsewhere this fine debut flaunts the duel guitar attack, shuffle-boogie rhythms, and passionate, bratty yowls that would be the basis of the band's sound throughout the '70, '80s, '90s, and beyond.
