It is mastered well originally, but the 2013 mastering for vinyl, done by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound, is exceptional. Plus, when you add Orchestral tones to a rock song, you have me hooked. Although, I could likely say that about many bands, I find Tyler’s vocal pitch to be perfectly suited to ballad-styled rock and roll music. Aerosmith has always, in my mind, been the masters of the rock and roll ballad. I particularly enjoy the final track, You See Me Crying. Either way, can you imagine Aerosmith not only recording this song, but playing it live. The original is great, but I tend to enjoy Chuck Berry’s live performance of the song a little more.

The original is a fantastic recording, but let’s just say that this song is perfectly suited to Aerosmith and Tyler’s innuendo filled mind.Īnother classic song I would love Aerosmith to cover is Dave Bartholomew’s My Ding-a-Ling. It isn’t an Aerosmith original as Bull Moose Jackson wrote and recorded the original. Returning to Toys In The Attic, the double entendre Big Ten Inch Record is just a fun bluesy song. I even purchased the equivalent cassette single so that I could have those songs when on the move. If I wasn’t previously hooked on Aerosmith from their Get A Grip album, I certainly was after this four-track release. The single featured Sweet Emotion, Draw The Line, Walk This Way, and Dream On. The first time I heard Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion was in the mid-90s when Aerosmith re-released Sweet Emotion as a single in 1994. They are simply timeless classics that will forever be part of music history. They are akin to Queen’s We Will Rock You. There isn’t a bad song on the album and while Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion have been played to hell and back, I never tire of those songs. Speaking of the music, Toys In The Attic is nothing short of epic. I can live with that it is the music I wanted after all. All other artwork, including the record label, is identical. The remasters that were made specifically for the RSD release, are still available, they are just no longer numbered and come with a different sticker on the outer seal. While that was disappointing, it wasn’t the end of the world. Unfortunately, I left it too late and none of my suppliers had the RSD numbered editions left. Originally when I ordered the vinyl edition of Toys In The Attic, I was hoping to get a copy of the 2013 Record Store Day (RSD) edition as they were individually numbered and matched my other Aerosmith records. I’m sure it is void of many other classic albums that I should own. Anyway, we don’t need to dwell on what I didn’t have in my collection. I had previously purchased a few tracks, from the album on iTunes, and I did have many of the songs on various live and greatest hits releases. As a dedicated Aerosmith fan, I feel a little embarrassed to admit that Toys In The Attic was not in my own collection until last week.
