AEROSMITH – Permanent Vacation Outtakes (3CD)

Studio 9.0-9.4 – Varies as far as the overall sound and mix but does not stray much below a solid 9.0…but man what you are getting here is bona fide Aerosmith and NOT the dressed up, slicked out, packaged presentation of Aerosmith that the record company needed in order to make vast profits.  This is down and dirty, raw, primal, and above all – fantastic!  To hear unadulterated guitars, guttural, almost fuzz style bass, and howling, tortured Steven, and this is 1987 mind you! How can it be?  I don’t know but this set rocks!
