Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1978 Original Gatefold On Orange Epic Label, With Custom Inner Sleeve. Santa Maria Press. "Don't Look Back" is the second studio album by American rock band Boston, released on August 2, 1978, by Epic Records. The album was produced by Tom Scholz and features eight tracks that continue the band's signature blend of guitar-driven rock and polished production. The title track, "Don't Look Back," became a notable hit, capturing the energetic and melodic style that Boston was known for. The album also includes other popular tracks such as "A Man I'll Never Be" and "Feelin' Satisfied." "Don't Look Back" was well-received commercially, reaching number one on the Billboard 200 chart shortly after its release.

The album cover, designed by Gary Norman, features a distinctive image of a guitar-shaped spaceship soaring away from a futuristic city, which aligns with the band's penchant for thematic and visually engaging artwork. "Don't Look Back" solidified Boston's reputation in the rock music scene of the late 1970s, though it was also notable for the pressure it placed on the band and its leader, Tom Scholz, leading to a prolonged hiatus before their next release. Despite any challenges, "Don't Look Back" remains a staple of classic rock, celebrated for its technical proficiency and enduring appeal.
