BOSTON - BOSTON - 1ST *SACD*

Boston is one of the best-selling albums of all time, and deservedly so. Because of the rise of disco and punk, FM rock radio seemed all but dead until the rise of acts like Boston, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen. Nearly every song on Boston's debut album can still be heard on classic rock radio today due to the strong vocals of Brad Delp andunique guitar sound of Tom Scholz.

Tom Scholz, who wrote most of the songs, was a studio wizard and used self-designed equipment such as 12-track recording devices to come up with an anthemic 'arena rock' sound before the term was even coined. The sound was hard rock, but the layeredmelodies and harmonics reveal the work of a master craftsman. While much has been written aboutthe sound of the album, the lyrics are often overlooked. There are songs about their rise from a bar band ('Rock and Roll Band') as well as fond remembrances of summers gone by ('More Than a Feeling').

Boston is essential for any fan of classic rock, and the album marks the re-emergence ofthe genre in the 1970s.(Vik Iyengar, AMG)
