Aerosmith has a brand-new career spanning compilation coming in multiple formats.  The simply-titled Greatest Hits shares a name with the group's first compilation, issued back in 1980, but it's being billed as an "ultimate" product, and packaged as an entirely different set. It is, of course, the first compilation issued since the band transferred albums and material released by Columbia Records between 1973 and 2012 over to Universal Music Group for distribution in 2021. (Universal previously controlled the group's output on Geffen Records issues between 1985 and 1994, and that same year issued an archival rehearsal set recorded before the group even had a record deal.)  Up to 44 tracks - hit singles, album cuts and a few rare edits - will be included in the package, covering all of the group's albums of original material featuring the classic lineup of frontman Steven Tyler, guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford, bassist Tom Hamilton, and drummer Joey Kramer. The pool of tracks will be divided on an 18-track highlights CD, a 10-track LP and a 20-song double vinyl album. Exclusively packaged versions of the CD, 2LP and 4LP variants will be sold on the band's web store, as well as exclusive merchandise bundles.  A Japan-exclusive 6CD edition adds three bonus live discs.
