Boston's beginnings go back to 1969 and a band headed by guitarist Barry Goudreau called Mother's Milk. Vocalist Brad Delp and drummer Jim Masdea were joined by a recent MIT graduate, Tom Scholz on keyboards. The band didn't last, but its members spent time in a homemade recording studio in Scholz's basement recording demo tapes in hopes of making a new start.
Those tapes eventually landed the group, now called Boston, a deal with Epic Records, and in 1976 they released what would become the biggest selling debut album in history, with sales exceeding 17-million.
