after spending time on the boston club circuit under the tutelage of their first manager, frank connelly, the band began working with new york managers steve leber and david krebs. leber describes the band as "the closest thing i've ever seen to the rolling stones". in early 1972, the managers arranged the gig at the legendary nightclub max's kansas city to showcase the group to record company executives. they subsequently signed a record deal with columbia records in 1972 and released their eponymous debut album in 1973. this was followed by their second album, "get your wings" in 1974. around this time, aerosmith continued to tour wherever they could and opened for bands like mott the hoople. the band had a minor hit in "dream on", which peaked at number 59 in 1973, but aerosmith did not break into the mainstream until the back-to-back releases of their next sets of albums, "toys in the attic" (1975) and "rocks" (1976). in 1975, they achieved their first top-40 hit in "sweet emotion". soon after, "dream on" was re-released and hit number six in 1976, followed by another top-10 hit "walk this way". additionally, "rocks" produced the hit singles "last child", "back in the saddle", and "home tonight". by 1976, aerosmith found themselves headlining huge stadiums and major rock music festivals. that year, tyler emerged as a prominent rock star and sex symbol in his own right, gracing the cover of "rolling stone" magazine, and their fifth album, "draw the line", continued the band's success and they were catapulted to international fame and recognition, launching tours in europe and japan. a series of hot 100 hits continued throughout the remainder of the decade, including "draw the line", "kings and queens", and "chip away the stone". aerosmith's first five albums have also all since gone multiplatinum and all five are considered to be among the greatest hard rock albums of all time. aerosmith toured heavily throughout the mid- to late 1970s, and their live shows during this time period were captured through 1978's live album "live! bootleg" and the 1989 vhs release "live texxas jam '78". also in 1978, tyler made his acting debut as the leader of the future villain band in the film "sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band", alongside his aerosmith bandmates. the film also spawned aerosmith's cover of the beatles hit "come together", which was aerosmith's last top-40 single for nine years.
