1991, dopo il successo di Pump la Columbia decide di raschiare il fondo del barile e fa pubblicare questo bel boxettino. Dedicato a coloro che amano gli Aerosmith (pochi) soprattutto del primo periodo comprendente gli album: Aerosmith (1973), Get Your Wings (1974), Toys In The Attic (1975), Rocks (1976), Draw The Line (1977), Night In The Ruts (1979)e Rock In Hard Place (1982).
Questo raccoltone a parte le più belle canzoni degli album sopra-citati offre delle tracce inedite e miste a tracce live di tracce in studio già pubblicate. Le tracce sono mischiate quasi a caso, nel primo cd è mischiato il primo periodo della band fino a Get Your Wings, il secondo fino a Draw The Line e il terzo fino a Rock in A Hard Place. Pieno di note dei musicisti nel libro che accompagna il cofanetto. Se non schifate le operazioni commerciali questo risultato è apprezzabile tenendo conto dei limiti degli Aerosmith, della loro propensione a scopiazzare quasi tutto il repertorio di venti anni prima ecc, ecc.
Divertente.

04 One Way Street (07:02)
Yeah... (soft)
Hey look out yonder what's that I see
Well that old bogus honey coming after me
I thought you told her I was out of town
I wonder how she knowed I was hangin' around
Say listen baby don't go wastin' yo time
You keep a comin' round you'll hear the same old line
You got a thousand boys you say you need'em
You take what's good for you and i'll take my freedom
'Cause lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
Ooooooh....yes it has
And honey your head's a one way street
And I gotta go the other way
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ...
I thought I knew her my cagey lady
How could my sunshine be so damn shady
She'll say she'll love to talk a conversation
But i'm the one that makes my situation
This one way city that I thought I knew
It's such a pity honey that's it for you
Because lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
And honey your head's a one way street

06 Mama Kin (04:27)
It ain't easy, livin' like a gypsy
Tell ya, honey, how I feel
I've been dreaming
Floatin' down stream and
Losin' touch with all that is real
Whole earth lover, keepin' under cover
Never knowin' where ya been
You've been fadin', always out paradin'
Keepin' touch with Mama kin
Well you've always got your tail on the wag
Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon
You act like a perpertual drag
You better check it out
Cause someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon
It ain't easy, livin' like you wanna
And it's so hard to find piece of mind
Yes it is
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line
Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for you dad is just a drag
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
Cause someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon
Chorus:
Keepin' touch with Mama kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy,
Sleeping late and smoking tea
Chorus
It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna
And it's so hard to find piece of mind
Yes it is
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line
Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for you dad is just a drag
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
Cause someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon
Chorus

07 Same Old Song and Dance (03:54)
Get yourself a cooler lay yourself low
Coincidental murder with nothing to show
The judge constipation will go to his head
And his wife's aggravation you're soon enough dead
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance my friend... sing it
(It's the same old story)
(Same old song and dance my friend)
Yeah... gotcha with the cocaine they found wit'chor gun
No smoothy face lawyer to get'cha undone
You say love ain't the same on the south side of town
You could look but you ain't gonna find it around
Same old story
Same old song and dance my friend
It's the same old story
Same old story same old song and dance
Listen... When your fate starts knockin'
Doors start lockin'

Can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain when
It's all the same to you my friend
Yeah it's true... my friend.... wak gi gi goa
Come on come on come on come on... yeah
When you're low down and dirty from walkin' the street
Wit'chor old hurdy gurdy and no one to meet
You say love ain't the same the south side a town
You could look but you ain't gonna find it around
Same old story
Same old song and dance my friend
It's the same old story
Same old story same old song and dance... eah yeah eah yeah...

Well on a train I met a dame

09 Seasons of Wither (05:40)
Blues hearted lady sleepy was she
Love for the devil brought her to me
Seas of a thousand drawn to her sin
Seasons of Wither holdin me in
Ooh woe is me I feel so badly for you
Ooh woe is me I feel so sadly for you
In time bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sail
Fireflies dance in the heat of
Hound dogs that bay at the moon
My ship leaves in the midnight
Can't say I'll be back too soon
They awaken far far away
Heat of my candle shows me the way
Seas of a thousand drawn to her sin
Seasons of Wither holdin me in
Ooh woe is me I feel so badly for you
Ooh woe is me I feel so sadly for you
In time bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sail
11 Dream On (04:27)
Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines in my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay, yeah
I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life's in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things
Come back to you
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, dream on, ahh
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord can take you away
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord can take you away
12 Pandora's Box (05:44)
When I'm in heat and someone gets a notion
I jump to my feet, I hoof it to the ocean
We hit a beach where no one gives a hoot
Nobody never ever wears a suit
The ladies there, they look so proud
That's 'cause they know that they've been so well endowed
Now, I ain't much for Fannie's conversation
Or care too much about her operation
But every time Pandora comes my way
I get high, can't explain the sensation
To get it on I gotta watch what I say
Or I'll catch hell from the women's liberation
(chorus)
Sweet Pandora
God-like aura
Smell like a flora
Open up your door-a for me
Sweet Pandora
God-like aura
Smell like a flora
Open up your door-a for me
Sweet Pandora
Mama crack a smile for me, just for me yeah
Just for me, just for me yeah
Just for me, just for me yeah
Just for me, just for me yeah
Now I ain't what you'd call a city slicker
Or claim to fame to be a slitty licker
But every time Pandora comes my way
I get high, can't explain the sensation
To get it on I gotta watch what I say
Or I'll catch hell from the women's liberation
(chorus)
