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.

Q (9/02, p.123) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...What is here is Aerosmith's claim to greatness..." Mojo (Publisher) (9/02, p.117) - "The scarves, the mirror shades, the rakishly cocked bottle of Jack. For Aerosmith it is forever 1971."

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.
