I had been in bands with Tom Hamilton for the

JAM BAND broke up and we moved to Boston.
Steven's band at the time also broke up and we
joined together.

We had it mastered and then ran off six copies.
Unfortunately, due to the quality of the tape, it
wore out after a few plays.

The first AEROSMITH tour.
