Classic Aerosmith: The Universal Masters Collection es un álbum de Aerosmith, publicado en 1997. El disco incluye 18 canciones, entre ellas «Amazing», «Eat the Rich», «What It Takes» y «Janie´s Got a Gun».
Lanzado en 1997, Classic Aerosmith: The Universal Masters Collection es un álbum recopilatorio de Aerosmith. Este disco forma parte de la serie "Universal Masters Collection", una línea de recopilatorios de precio medio lanzada por Universal Music Group, que había adquirido el catálogo de Geffen Records. El álbum se centra exclusivamente en la exitosa era de la banda en Geffen, abarcando el período de su espectacular regreso comercial entre 1987 y 1993. Es una colección concisa que reúne algunos de los sencillos más importantes de los álbumes "Permanent Vacation", "Pump" y "Get a Grip", sirviendo como una introducción rápida y accesible a la segunda era dorada de la banda.
Contexto y propósito
En 1997, Aerosmith había regresado a su sello original, Columbia Records, para lanzar el álbum Nine Lives. Aprovechando el renovado interés en la banda, su antiguo sello (ahora propiedad de Universal) lanzó esta compilación para capitalizar su valioso catálogo trasero. A diferencia de "Big Ones", que incluía material nuevo, este recopilatorio es una simple colección de éxitos diseñada para el mercado general.
Análisis musical y selección de canciones
El álbum es una cápsula del tiempo del hard rock y el glam metal de finales de los 80 y principios de los 90. La selección de canciones se centra en los sencillos más reconocibles de su etapa más comercial. Incluye himnos de estadio como "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" y "Love in an Elevator", junto a las power ballads que los convirtieron en superestrellas de la MTV, como "Angel", "Cryin'" y la ganadora del Grammy, "Janie's Got a Gun". La colección funciona como una instantánea perfecta del sonido que dominó las radios de rock de esa época.
Herencia
Aunque ha sido superado por recopilatorios más completos como "O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits", "Classic Aerosmith" sigue siendo un testimonio del increíble poder de la banda para crear éxitos y de la importancia de su resurrección en los años 80, una de las mayores historias de regreso en la historia del rock.
