be_________________________Don
't Look Back is the second
album by American rock band
Boston, released in 1978 (see
1978 in music). The title
track is one of the band's
biggest hits, reaching #4 in
1978 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The album sold over 4 million
copies in the first month of
its release, and over 7
million total in the U.S.This
album also marked the
beginning of the band's legal
fight with its record label
Epic Records. Tom Scholz has
been on record stating that
executives at Epic pushed him
and the band into releasing
the album before they felt it
was ready. Their next album
Third Stage was not released
for another eight years, by
which time the band and record
label had parted ways and were
fighting a courtroom battle
that Boston ultimately
won.This album and the group's
first (Boston) were remastered
and re-released on June 13,
2006. The re-releases were
digitally remastered
personally by Scholz after he
heard (not directly) that the
remastering project was to be
handled by Sony's team. This
was unacceptable to him. He
took it on himself after
negotiations with Legacy.
'I've always wanted to make
those albums sound good on CD,
and the chance arrived.' A
small number of the
Sony-remastered versions
briefly went on sale in Canada
on April 4, 2006 before being
pulled off the shelves. Those
discs also included a live
version of 'Shattered Images'
(mistitled 'Help Me' on the
packaging), an unreleased
Boston original, from a 1976
concert in Philadelphia.
'Don't Look Back' was among
the first commercially
produced compact discs when
the format was introduced in
1983, but because of ongoing
legal issues between Tom
Scholz and CBS Records, the
title was pulled after a small
production run and did not
re-appear on CD until three
years later. Inserts for the
original CD pressings
contained the 'spaceship
blueprints' from the original
album dust jacket; those
illustrations were not
included in the 1986
re-release.The cover art for
this album inspired the box
art on the Atari 2600 release
of the video game Space
Invaders.Also, the original
title for this album was
supposed to be Arrival, but
Boston members discovered that
ABBA already had an album by
that name out, so Don't Look
Back was chosen instead.Tom
Scholz has claimed in many
interviews that he listens to
the song 'The Journey' before
he goes to bed each night.
Whether he continues to do
this today or not is
unknown.Track listing:All
