The rock world is abuzz with whispers, and Aerosmith fans might want to pay close attention. In an exciting twist of events, there’s talk of something big brewing under the Universal Music banner, and it’s all about Aerosmith’s iconic discography.
A Rumoured Reissue Like No Other
According to a source reportedly linked to Aerosmith’s marketing team in California, Universal Music is possibly gearing up for an ambitious project – reissuing all Aerosmith albums in various formats. But it’s not just any ordinary reissue. We’re talking about a complete overhaul with Spatial Audio mixes and a collection of previously unreleased and bonus materials that are bound to excite any rock enthusiast.
Amidst these whispers, there’s mention of a deluxe box set. This isn’t just a compilation; it’s being talked about as a teaser for a much larger reissue campaign. A sampler, if you will, of the rich, raw, and remastered sounds of one of rock’s most legendary bands.
Why the Delay?
As with any great story, there’s a twist. The delay in this grand reveal is rumored to be because of none other than Steven Tyler himself. Reports suggest that Tyler hasn’t been involved in overseeing the project or giving his sign-off, leading Universal Music to pivot to a Greatest Hits album in the interim.
Studio Sightings and Social Media Clues
Adding to the intrigue, the band has reportedly been spotted in and out of the studio, with Tyler specifically working on new mixes. There’s even talk of Tyler expressing an interest in recording new vocal tracks over previously unfinished studio tracks, a move that could potentially push the timelines of these projects even further.
Fueling these rumours are recent social media updates. Tyler’s Instagram page showed a glimpse of him seemingly working on remixes, though the specific album remains unconfirmed. Simultaneously, Aerosmith’s official Instagram story hinted at a revival of the 1991 ‘Sweet Emotion’ video. The story showed what appeared to be the film undergoing a scanning process via a machine from LaserGraphics, partially validating these advanced reports.
A Word of Caution
As exciting as these developments are, it’s important to remember that, for now, these are just rumours. They’re unconfirmed reports that should be treated with a healthy dose of skepticism until we get an official word from the band or Universal Music.
In the meantime, let the speculation keep our rock spirits high. After all, Aerosmith has always been about the unexpected and the spectacular.
Stay tuned for more updates, and keep rocking to the timeless tunes of Aerosmith!
