I love listening to your picks in songs Geoff! Your tastes are very similar to my own!

As far as Boston’s debut album, I don’t recall how many copies I went thru on vinyl and cassette. I still a (digital) copy on my phone and listen to it whenever the mood hits me!

If you reverse this image and rotate it a little, you have the Mayan “astronaut” glyph. Kind of interesting.

Takes me right back to high school. Soooo many memories. I’m a few years older than you, but like you, I also wore my album out. I put it on cassette tape when I went to college, since there wasn’t room for my turntable. Probably wore the tape out too! Thanks for the memories!

I did as well … wore out the album and a cassette (which went first - 🤦‍♀️)

I even owned a “Picture Disc” of it that I had hung on my wall. This album was that good!

8 track. It got to the point where I would push play and then expect to have to suffer through a bit of stretched ribbon. That is still a fantastic album.

That was fabulous. I forgot how energizing Boston's sound is...the South Park episode is hilarious.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Such a great album. Too many records in those days had one or two good tracks and the rest was filler. (Looking at you, Head East) The Boston album was great all the way through, with almost every track a potential single.

I can attest, in all seriousness, that I never smoked but I have inhaled - and most certainly at a Boston concert.

I decided to revisit my Boston memories from senior year through college. This one jumped out. Forget all about it. And I wasn’t loaded; just preternaturally distracted.
