Until Them Dreams Come True: Aerosmith’s Debut Reissued with New Remix, Live Cuts and Outtakes

January 27, 2026 by Mike Duquette | 8 Comments

When Aerosmith surprised fans by moving their entire catalogue to Universal Music Group – switching two eras of material for Columbia Records (eight studio and live LPs originally issued between 1973-1982 and a further four studio releases from 1997-2012), everyone was dreaming on about potential archival titles. But outside of the terrific early rehearsal EP 1971: The Road Starts Hear and a new greatest hits package, there wasn’t much to speak of, and frontman Steven Tyler’s vocal issues forced an early end to their planned farewell tour. But just as in the ’80s,…

The Weekend Stream Extra: A Guide to ‘MTV Unplugged’ on Paramount+ (Part 1)

May 18, 2025 by Mike Duquette | 9 Comments

Welcome to a special Sunday feature of The Weekend Stream, which takes a look at one of MTV’s great live music programs thanks to a recent reissue of one of its best-known episodes. We’re kicking off a five-part deep-dive on every episode of MTV Unplugged that’s currently streaming on the station’s parent streaming network Paramount+! If the music video was the most significant concept MTV introduced back in 1981, the word “unplugged” might come in a close second. In 1989, as the cable station began slowly diversifying their blocks of video programming –…

June 28, 2023 by Mike Duquette | 3 Comments

Ahead of their Peace Out Tour in 2023-2024 – closing a significant chapter in the book of one of the best (or perhaps the most) American rock bands – Aerosmith will issue a brand-new career spanning compilation across multiple formats in August. 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…

Walk This Way: Aerosmith Moves Entire Catalogue to UMG for 50th Anniversary

August 24, 2021 by The Second Disc | 12 Comments

Yesterday, August 23, Aerosmith announced that it will be bringing its entire recorded music catalogue to Universal Music Group ahead of the 50th anniversary of the band’s debut album next year. As UMG already controlled Aerosmith’s Geffen Records discography, the deal will unite those 1985-1993 recordings under one roof with the material from their two stints at Columbia Records (1972-1984 and 1997-2006, roughly). Going forward, Universal will spearhead Aerosmith’s music and video releases, merchandise, and new audiovisual projects (such as documentaries and concert films) addressing the band’s history and cultural impact over…

In Your Eyes: Mondo Expands ‘Say Anything…’ Soundtrack with Unreleased Material

February 3, 2021 by The Second Disc | 2 Comments

Soundtrack vinyl label Mondo offers a killer new expanded release this week that’ll make even the staunchest opponent to selling, buying or processing anything reconsider their position: the stirring soundtrack to 1989 romantic comedy Say Anything… Already lauded for his teenaged work as a journalist for Rolling Stone (which inspired his 2000 film Almost Famous) and the book-turned-’80s film classic Fast Times At Ridgemont High, screenwriter Cameron Crowe made his directorial debut with this unlikely hit about a high school valedictorian (Ione Skye) who falls for an underachieving misfit classmate (Jon Cusack). The film’s mixture of sweetness…
