"Aerosmith was a different band when we started the third album," producer Jack Douglas recalled in the 1997 book "Walk This Way: The Aerosmith Autobiography." "They had played 'Get Your Wings' on the road for a year and had become better players - different. That showed in the riffs Joe and Brad brought back from tour for the next album. Toys in the Attic was much more polished than the other stuff they had done." The album was recorded at the Record Plant in New York, released on April 8, 1975, and reached number 11 in September thanks to the singles "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way." The album is the band's most commercially successful studio LP in the U.S., with eight million copies sold. "Toys in the Attic" is the third studio album by American rock band Aerosmith and was released on April 8, 1975. The first single, "Sweet Emotion", was released on May 19 and the original version of "Walk This Way" followed on August 28 of the same year. In June 2023, Aerosmith will release a comprehensive reissue series of their catalog for the first time through Universal Music! It kicks off with the years 1974-1979, during which the albums "Get Your Wings, 1974," "Toys In The Attic, 1975," "Rocks, 1976" and "Night in the Ruts, 1979" were released by the American rock legends. In these years Aerosmith laid the foundations for their decade-long career. With the second studio album "Get Your Wings" Aerosmith drew attention for the first time a little more loudly. Although the album did not reach chart positions, it paved the way for further success. Namely - "Toys In The Attic." With nine million records sold, the global hit "Walk This Way" ft. RUN-DMC and a Rolling Stone Magazine honor of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" at #228, Aerosmith ushered in a nearly 50-year era of success. The 5-piece rock band confirmed this with their next studio album "Rocks". More Hard Rock and Heavy Metal angehaucht Aerosmith charted directly in the Billboard Hot 100 and went quadruple platinum with this record.
