Aerosmith debut album released Jan 5, not 13 as listed here. I only looked at two today before finding an error.
This keeps happening. Tighten it up.
John:
All of my usual sources show 1/5/73 for Aerosmith except one, which shows just “Jan 1973.” I made the change in my DB. I am not sure when and where I came up with 1/13/73, but it could have been years ago.
