Celebrating five decades of definitive anthems and some of the most recognizable hits of all-time, four-time GRAMMY award-winning and diamond-certified Boston rock legends Aerosmith, announced the release of the ultimate career-spanning Greatest Hits collection. The collection features 44 handpicked tracks in the deluxe editions with packaging curated by the band.

The set is available for pre-order now through the band’s official artist store. Along with the collection, new merch tying into the tome has also been released.

For the first time in the group’s illustrious history, the Super Deluxe Edition of Greatest Hits assembles a blockbuster tracklisting of 44 songs, representing each era of Aerosmith. Pressed on 180g custom color vinyl, it encompasses the band’s five decades in all its raw and powerful rock n’ roll splendor. From 70’s era Top 10 hits “Dream On” and “Walk This Way” plus a blistering version of “Toys In The Attic,” to Hamilton’s signature bass line and Joe Perry’s iconic talk box intro into “Sweet Emotion,” to their domination of 90s rock radio with “Crazy,” “Cryin’,” and “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing,” the collection is sure to please both die-hard fans and casual listeners alike.

A true collector’s item, the Super Deluxe Edition is presented in premium book-style sleeves, includes four black-and-white lithographs and boasts stunning live photography as well as iconic and rarely seen photos of the band chronicling their ascent from a local Boston band to the global megastars of today.

Last month, Aerosmith announced their PEACE OUT Farewell Tour with special guest The Black Crowes. Fans will see one of the most significant American rock bands in history one last time during this not-to-be-missed final tour. Every night will celebrate the five decades of Aerosmith’s groundbreaking hits as they celebrate 50 years as America’s greatest rock band. In addition, THX will bring their THX Certified Live! high-fidelity experience on the road, calibrating each arena with leading-edge technology so fans don’t miss a beat of Aerosmith’s classic rock tunes in quality audio.

Celebrating their 50th anniversary, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members Aerosmith have sold more than 150 million albums around the world, produced genre-defining music videos such as “Amazing,” “Crazy,” “Janie’s Got A Gun,” “Livin’ On The Edge,” and “Love In An Elevator,” and launched extravagant record-shattering global tours, most recently with their smash hit Las Vegas residency. The band has broken numerous boundaries, including becoming the first rock band with a massive commercially successful hip-hop collaboration with Run DMC on “Walk This Way” and the first hard rock band to appear during a Super Bowl Halftime Show with their 2001 performance, and in 1999, Aerosmith became the first band to have their own themed attraction at Disney World in Florida and later Paris with the launch of the Rock ‘N’ Roller coaster starring Aerosmith.
