AEROSMITH “Pump” /LP/

The ninth full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Blues Rock band.
The album marks a turning point in the band's career. It is their first album to employ professional songwriters, instead of featuring material solely composed by members of the band. This came as a suggestion of executive John Kalodner, who also pushed the band to work with producer Bruce Fairbairn, who remained with them for another two albums. It was also the first Aerosmith album to be promoted by Heavy Music Video airplay on MTV.
Though "Done With Mirrors" was intended to mark Aerosmith's comeback, "Permanent Vacation" is often considered their true comeback album, as it was the band's first truly popular album since their reunion.
The album features cover of "I'm Down", a piano-driven Beatles song that appeared as a b-side to their single "Help" in 1965. This was Aerosmith's second commercially released Beatles cover, after "Come Together". "Rag Doll", "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" and "Angel" all became major hit singles (all three songs charted in the Top 20) and helped "Permanent Vacation" become the band's most successful album in a decade.
Permanent Vacation has sold over 5000000 copies in the U.S.
In the UK, it was the first Aerosmith album to attain both Silver (60000 units sold) and Gold (100000 units sold) certification by the British Phonographic Industry, achieving these in July 1989 and March 1990 respectively.
CD comes with OBI.

The thirteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Blues Rock band.
Despite the fact that many consider this album to be the wayward point in the band’s career, "Just Push Play" is the most coherent output since 1989’s "Pump". The previous records, "Get A Grip" and "Nine Lives", struggled to balance out the band’s roots and a modern Hard Rock approach, especially when it comes to the former. On the other hand, "Just Push Play" fully embraced the current trends and a strong Pop feel, almost entirely drowning the Blues touch the band known for. The album dominated by modern Rock tracks, but band also experimented with some symphonic elements.
Another strong point of this album is the production handled by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry themselves, with the help of Mark Hudson and Marti Fredriksen. Although they still included outside producers, this album sounds a lot like their classic efforts, more so than any album recorded during the 90’s most likely due to input by the band members themselves.
The band were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, making them the first band to be inducted while their song was still in the charts.
"Just Push Play" might have seemed like a risky step at the time, but listening to it today, we can freely say that this is just another classic Aerosmith record, which showcases their ability to adapt and survive in the ever-shifting music industry! "Just Push Play" was a great way to kick off the new millennium for Aerosmith and solidified their position as one of the most popular hard rock bands to this day!!
"Just Push Play" debuted at No. 2 within the Billboard 200, selling over 240,000 copies in its first week. The album's first single, "Jaded", became a Top 10 hit in the US and around the world. As a result, "Just Push Play" was certified Platinum within a month of its release. Subsequent singles "Fly Away from Here", "Sunshine", and "Just Push Play", though garnering some airplay, failed to impact the Hot 100, although the latter two reached the US Mainstream Rock chart and the former appeared within the Adult Top 40.
The album nominated for three Grammy Awards in 2001, including Best Rock Album, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group ("Jaded"), and Best Short Form Music Video ("Fly Away from Here").

“Best Of” compilation album by legendary American Hard Rock/Blues Rock band.
After the hiatus late 70s with Joe Perry leaving the band, Aerosmith was not finished and would make a remarkable comeback in the 80s. With some successful albums and chart topping songs, Aerosmith was back in action to retake the crown as the greatest Rock and Roll band in America.
In 1994, "Big Ones" was released and is a definitive compilation of Aerosmith's greatest songs of the 80s and early 90s. The album featured 12 hits from the band's three consecutive multi-Platinum albums, "Permanent Vacation" (1987), "Pump" (1989), and "Get A Grip" (1993), as well as the hit, "Deuces are Wild" from "The Beavis and Butt-Head Experience" (1993), and two new songs, "Blind Man" and "Walk on Water", which were recorded during a break in the band's Get a Grip Tour. These songs were also included on the band's 2001 compilation album, "Young Lust: The Aerosmith Anthology".
"Big Ones" is the band's second best-selling compilation album, reaching #6 on the Billboard charts, and selling four million copies in the United States alone. The album quickly became a worldwide hit, reaching the Top 10 in nine countries before the end of the year.
From head rockers to power ballads and everything in between, this compilation should suit any fan looking' for the hits!
