If you are a collector of classic rock records, then no doubt you already have these, but if you are only starting to get the bug, who could ask for more than the first two records by Boston -- both of which soared to the top of the charts and remained there like an albatross for weeks on end -- in the case of the first one, it remained in the Top Ten for nearly a year. For those who lived through it the first time, this package is likely to accomplish one of two things: either having you remembering your high school years and reveling in their hedonism and camaraderie, or send you screaming into the abyss with your hands over your ears wishing you could blot out not only the sound but the nightmarish memories of clothing styles back in the day. Bill and Ted never counted Boston's first two recordings into either of their Excellent Adventures. ~ Thom Jurek
Masterminded by songwriter/guitarist Tom Scholz, Boston became one of the biggest bands of the 1970s with their immaculately produced brand of classic rock. By combining the epic scale of prog-rock with the immediate impact of killer pop hooks, Boston's debut immediately rocketed up the charts and made the band an arena-headliner, but it would take them years to issue follow-up recordings. In 2007, the emotionally troubled lead vocalist of the band, Brad Delp, died of a reported suicide at his home in New Hampshire.
