Must-have Classic
Any fan of rock music should have this CD in their collection. Boston's first album is a classic rock masterpiece.


one of the best bands of all time (at its peak!)
Every song is amazing. This is one of the best bands of all time at its peak.

The musicianship is excellent here as is the songwriting. What makes it even more amazing to me, is that this album was not done in a major studio. . . at least the is what the rumor is. What I've heard is that the label gave Boston money to record, they did this record at home, saved a bunch of money (which they kept), and turned it in, since nobody would believe something this good could come from a home studio.

That's the rumor anyway!! :)

Regardless, this album is all meat and no filler.


Awsome Boston CD
I remember when it came out in my senior year such a great cdand band. This is a classic cd by a great band.


pretty good remastering...but not as good as EPIC LEGACY discs
I purchased the original debut disc (the sound was so-so)and then when the EPIC LEGACY SBM discs came out. . I snagged one. . . . MAJOR MASTERING IMPROVEMENT!!!! These discs sound as close to perfect as perfect can be. . . . I recently grabbed the latest "remaster" done by Tom Scholz himself because I was curious to see if the he could use technology to improve his masterpiece. . . .

The LEGACY has a much fuller, transparent sound. . . . the drums and bass are perfectly balanced with the music and voices. . . . the bass isn't muddy and murky. . . . . On the latest venture. . . I think Scholz was aiming at pleasing the lower budget stereo systems, where equalization control is minimal. . . I also feel the vocals and guitars are thinner and lack alot of mids. . . but that's how most producers today like to mix sound. . . . alot of lows and highs and screw the mids.

All in all, it's a pretty good remastering job. . . . and for the money. . . you can't go wrong. Now if you're like me and want the absolute sound and want to hear it the way it should have been mixed, you need to find the SONY LEGACY GOLD DISCS

If you can score an EPIC LEGACY disc of this. . . . GRAB IT!!!! I got mine brand new for $19. 95. . . . . and I've seen it since go for well over $100. 00 on here and ebay.


The first and the best
I actually got this from my brother in the form of an 8-Track, after he sold me his car and left the tape. This was the first album I ever had. One listen and I was HOOKED. That was in 1982 and I was a sophomore in HS. I subsequently bought the cassette (which I wore out) and the CD in 1986 (at the time Third Stage came out). Now it's on my MP3 and will forever be in my music library.

Over the past 25+ years, I can say that the sound quality of this album was as good or better than anything that was put out at the time, save for Queen.

I love EVERY song on this album, but if I HAD to pick my favorite, it would be Foreplay/Long Time. The song just kicks.

If you are younger than 30 and would like to know what it felt like to be a teenager in the late 70's and early 80's, this album is for you. Good times they were.
