Aerosmith is the self-titled debut album by American hard rock band Aerosmith, released in 1973 (see 1973 in music).
This album was recorded in only two weeks at Intermedia Studio in Boston.
The photo, at right, is the original cover which had at least one song track title error and was therefore pulled. (The error was "Walkin' the Dig" instead of "Walkin' the Dog" - see external links below) This cover art may have also been used as the CD reissue cover. The most popular album cover, released after the corrections were made, was made up entirely of the photo of the band members.
