'Aerosmith / Get Your Wings (1974) Remaster (2009)' Review!

Being a die-hard Alice Cooper fan, it was pretty easy to take a liking to 'Get Your Wings', the Bob Ezrin-produced sophomore effort by our fly-boys. Still, it was some superb song-writing that keeps one coming back for more. Right from the start, 'Same Old Song & Dance' with his 'judge's constipation' on over to the prowess of 'going down' suck-ciss-fully on the song that enables us to truly 'get our wings', 'Lord Of The Thighs', Steven Tyler proves to be quite a cunning linguist in every sense of the word. 'Spaced' rocks far from the psychedelia that comes to mind from its title, and 'Woman Of The World' boasts another of Tom Hamilton's signature bass riffs that one can also hear on the live version of 'Rattlesnake Shake', now on the firstling's remaster. Nothing urgent about this band's S.O.S., which is possibly about a 'son of shite', more than anything else. 'Too Bad', actually, because this is all pre-Punk finessé. 'The Yardbirds' tune, 'Train Kept-A-Rollin'' gets a true run for its money with Joey Kramer chugging along the beat, first with a nice, slow groove and then later exploding into pandemonium - a definite crowd-pleaser live! And, for collectors, the addition of the ultra-rare single version is an absolute treat! Next is my all-time favourite from The Smithers, 'Seasons Of Wither', a song that I myself have sang in two different bands, and whose lyric comes close to my heart. Steven Tyler can be heard playing the opening acoustic riff. Then we're off to the FKK, as ze Germans would say, and some skinny-dipping with sweet Pandora and her proud, so-well endowed box, that she is unabashedly flashing for all to see. Joey Kramer certainly brings this one home, tightly in the pocket. The Remaster boasts the so-so, 'Major Barbara', the sliced & diced version of 'SOSAD', and a lengthy guitar solo showcase on a live version from the '78 Texxas Jam for added bang for your buck. Pristine sound quality and all-out Rock anthems, what more could one want? - Rick Wilson, former Rock Radio Journalist with Radio Canale Grandé.
