After reading ‘Walk This Way’, an autobiography of Aerosmith I am amazed that the band could release this album on time and have it sound as good as it does. The band was a drugged up mess while recording this album. Steven Tyler stated that they had a hard time getting Joe Perry to leave his bedroom and get him into the studio to record his parts. Steven Tyler also stated the lyrics just would not come to him, he struggled daily trying to make it work. Listening to this album after reading the book gave me a new outlook on this recording. I am more than impressed that this rag-tag group of junkies had it in them to complete the task, and do it well. -
I think this is a great record despite what other people have said. “Rocks” is my absolute favorite with its dark, gritty and blistering vibe. As for “Draw The Line”, it’s just a great mid tempo, straight forward rock record. The songs are well crafted and the record has a good flow from start to finish. I have an early pressing which sounds great. Contrary to popular opinion, I think “Toys In The Attic” isn’t as great of a record in comparison to “Draw The Line”. -

I have another possible variant of this pressing as well:
AL-34856-1A STERLING
BL-34856-1K STERLING -
I have a pressing of this album that in the first few seconds of Milk Cow Blues is cut out. After Sight for Sore Eyes, it just cuts right to the song without the guitar beginning (it was only two notes). Is this just a problem in my pressing or is this a common problem in this pressing for others? -
Edited 7 years agoThe vinyl copy I bought back in the early 80's,there isn't a false start on the beginning of Milk Cow Blues.
The song just plays without the guitar starting to play then stops.

A pretty underrated record if you ask me. I can playing Guitar Hero Aerosmith when it first came out on PS2 and playing kings and queens for the first time.

Edited 7 years agoI also have a variant:
AL-34856-1A Stamped: STERLING
BL-34856-1J Stamped: STERLING
Would this be an edit or a new release?
No other info on the runout. -
I have what might be variant of this version, not sure if it's OK to edit:
AL-34856-1B STERLING
BL-34856-1K STERLING -
Some Copies, presumably first run, include a 9' X 9" Aerosmith Draw the line T-shirt Order form.
