Aerosmith’s Toys In The Attic just turned 45 earlier this month. Their third album was released April 8, 1975. Sweet Emotion was the leadoff single released May 19 and Walk This Way followed on August 28 same year. The album went on to sell over 8 million copies.
In Joe Perry’s autobiography, he wrote, “Our first two albums were basically comprised of songs we’d been playing for years live in the clubs. With Toys, we started from scratch. Making this record, we learned to be recording artists and write songs on a deadline. In the process, we began to see just what Aerosmith could accomplish. With everyone throwing in ideas, Toys was our breakthrough.” Indeed it was. Congrats to the boys on this amazing milestone. And just so you can see what Steven Tyler looked like during this era, here’s a photo to take you back to 1975.
