On April 21, 1997, a slightly revised version, Greatest Hits 1973–1988, was released outside the US, with the ten tracks in their edited versions retained, with five additional songs from the same era added, plus the 1991 version of "Sweet Emotion" and a live version of "One Way Street". The other remaining tracks were kept intact. " Walk This Way" was edited slightly, chanting the first chorus once instead of twice. " Kings and Queens" was also edited down, cutting the intro and certain other parts. The original lyric was "Gotcha with the cocaine, found with your gun." The alternate lyric, included on the compilation, was "You shady lookin' loser, you played with my gun." " Sweet Emotion" also used the single version it begins with the first chorus, cutting out the now famous talk box intro and the coda was replaced with a repeating chorus and fades out. It also contained an alternate lyric which was not heard on Get Your Wings.

The result is a song that is potent enough to be classified as rock & roll but offers enough colorful embellishments to give it appeal beyond the usual hard rock audience.Release and reception Professional ratings Review scoresĪlthough the official website for Aerosmith lists the release for Greatest Hits as October 1980, and the album was originally scheduled for release on October 24, 1980, it was delayed until November 11, 1980. This stylistic exploration is continued in Aerosmith's recording, which blends guitar-driven hard rock to add muscle to the horn-accented jazz-pop melody. The lyric ruminates on the idea that no one can escape fate in a humorous style but illustrates the idea with humorous examples: "Coincidental murder with nothing to show/With the judge's constipation will go to his head/And his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead." This grimly funny scenario is backed with a verse-chorus structure of a pop song but a melody whose sense of swing puts it closer to jazz. One of their earliest successes to show this style was "Same Old Song and Dance," a track from Get Your Wings that became an enduring radio favorite. One of the major keys to Aerosmith's success is that they could deliver the goods for a hard rock audience while also working in other elements to their sound that gave it a fresh spin.
