PAINT BY NUMBERS FOR DEAF MUTES

Aerosmith have arrived for good, mates. Just check out the packaging of their new album: the front and back covers not only lack the emerging group-logo which graced their last two LPs, but also dispense with the title of the set. Instead, the denizens who haunt the record racks will be greeted with a black-and-white caricature of the group members (by Al Hirschfeld, no less), and a no-frills, listing of the song titles.

AEROSMITH Draw The Line (Columbia)

Richard Riegel

Aerosmith have arrived for good, mates. Just check out the packaging of their new album: the front and back covers not only lack the emerging group-logo which graced their last two LPs, but also dispense with the title of the set. Instead, the denizens who haunt the record racks will be greeted with a black-and-white caricature of the group members (by Al Hirschfeld, no less), and a no-frills, listing of the song titles. Only those potential buyers already acquainted with Steven Tyler’s overbite (or those hip enough to turn the LP spineside-up) will know that they’re holding Aerosmith’s Draw The Line in their cash-crossed palms; Aerosmith are playing in Led Zeppelin’s if-you-have-to-tell-’em-who -youare - you -ain’t - made - it - baby! league now.
