We know the songs. Heck, we know ALL the songs. Eight inescapable mainstays blasting on rock radio for decades. Fifty years later, Boston’s debut album still feels impossibly huge, full of a singular power that’s the result of its surprising contradictions. It’s anthemic yet melodic. It’s bombastic yet easygoing. It’s free-spirited party rock that’s fastidiously constructed.

Before Boston, rock and roll sounded smaller, bluesier: made for clubs, not stadiums. Tom Scholz’s uncompromising vision, which he relentlessly pursued, basically invented arena rock. The album’s nearly incalculable influence is still inspiring over half a century later.

For its golden anniversary, we’re working directly with Tom Scholz to create the very definitive edition of one of rock’s most monumental statements!
