This is the first-ever Aerosmith hits collection to include the absolute best from America's Greatest Rock & Roll Band's Columbia Records and Geffen Records catalogs as well as two brand-new tracks--"Girls of Summer" and "Lay It Down." Commemorating the 30th anniversary of the group's first signing with Columbia Records, O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits brings together 30 indisputable rock classics from a band that remains as potent and viable today as they were on their very first records. In addition to hits running from 1972's "Dream On" through 2001's "Jaded" and beyond, this album includes all four of Aerosmith's Grammy-winning singles--"Janie's Got A Gun," "Livin' On The Edge," "Crazy," and the "South Beach Mix" of "Pink." As the years rock & roll by, Aerosmith continue to rack up awards, RIAA platinum sales, honors and hit records, a feat made all the more remarkable by the fact that they're still doing it all with the original line-up--Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer-that came together to cut the very first Aerosmith album some thirty years ago.
| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | O, YEAH! ULTIMATE AEROSMITH HITS is available in four different 3-D covers. | | Aerosmith: Steve Tyler (vocals, harmonica, piano, keyboards, percussion); Joe Perry (guitar, background vocals); Brad Whitford (guitar); Tom Hamilton (bass); Joey Kramer (drums, percussion). | | "Girls Of Summer" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. | | Pulling out all the stops to commemorate their 30th anniversary since signing to Columbia Records, Aerosmith drops the two-CD O, YEAH! ULTIMATE AEROSMITH HITS set on the public. Despite the existence of various previously released anthologies including BIG ONES, GREATEST HITS, and GEMS, O, YEAH! is the first collection to compile material from the band's Columbia and Geffen Records catalogs. The comprehensive track listing not only includes 'Smith perennials like "Dream On," "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion," but deeper and oft-overlooked cuts like "Seasons Of Wither" and their swinging cover of the Bull Moose Jackson '50s R&B nugget "Big Ten Inch Record." | | Members of the MTV generation also get their fill of post-comeback hits from PERMANENT VACATION, PUMP, and GET A GRIP including "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)," "What It Takes," "Cryin'," and "Amazing." All four of the band's Grammy-winning singles are included--"Janie's Got A Gun," "Livin' On The Edge," "Crazy," and the "South Beach Mix" of "Pink," along with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry's historic team-up with Run-DMC on a cover of "Walk This Way." Two new cuts, the Beatlesque "Girls Of Summer" and the equally catchy "Lay It Down" round out this impressive set. |
| | Artist Overview | | A hard-rocking, no-holds-barred American group fronted by the wiry Steven Tyler, Aerosmith plays heavy riffs with a blues underpinning. After huge hits and sold-out tours in the 1970s, the band sank into oblivion for the first half of the '80s. They returned on the crest of Run-DMC's version of "Walk This Way" in 1986, and rode back up the charts with their rehabilitated rock, cranking out slick videos to gain a new generation of fans. Having hitched their star to MTV, they took on the role of rock's elder statesmen. |
