Rock giants Aerosmith have announced a massively expanded edition of their debut album. The Legendary Edition reissue, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the album's release (actually 53 years ago), will be available in several different packages.
At the expensive end of the shopping list is the $300 Legendary Collector’s Edition Fanpack 5LP box set, which includes a seventies-style satin bomber jacket with the album's cover printed on the lining. The set also includes a remastered edition of the original album on clear vinyl, a new mix on translucent red vinyl, plus a double LP set including a live performance from Paul’s Mall in Boston (originally broadcast on WBCN two months after the album's release) and previously unreleased studio tracks. Full tracklist below.
The Collector's Edition also includes 12” single featuring the remastered and remixed versionms of Dream On on clear UV cloud effect vinyl, a printed slipmat, a hardback book that includes contributions from Dolly Parton, Corey Taylor, Mike McCready, Jerry Cantrell, Chris Robinson, Slash and Sully Erna, plus a fold-out 24” x 36” poster and a sticker sheet. The set is packaged in a box that includes an Aerosmith 3D pop-up diorama.
Other, more budget-friendly options are available, including a 5LP Box (without the jacket), a 4LP set, single vinyl editions on black and coloured vinyl, a triple CD and a single CD. The Fanpack Editions are available exclusively from the Aerosmith webstore.
