"Get Your Wings" is the second studio album by the legendary American rock band Aerosmith, here presented as a single CD edition. Originally released in the mid-1970s, the record captures the moment when Aerosmith began to shape their own distinctive hard rock sound--bluesy, gritty and full of attitude.
