Permanent Vacation

Limited 180 gram vinyl LP pressing of this album from the classic rock band. Released in 1987, "Permanent Vacation" marked a turning point in the band's career. Here the band worked alongside professional songwriters to craft an album chock full of hits that charted in the Top 20. This came at the suggestion of executive John Kalodner. He also pushed the band to work with producer Bruce Fairbairn, who remained with them for another two albums. It was also the first Aerosmith album to be promoted by heavy music video airplay on MTV. Though "Done with Mirrors" was intended to mark Aerosmith's comeback, "Permanent Vacation" is often considered their true comeback, as it was the band's first truly popular album since their reunion. Tracks like 'Rag Doll', 'Dude (Looks like a Lady)', and 'Angel' helped "Permanent Vacation" become the band's greatest success in a decade.
