Boston Foreplay/Long Time Live Remaster Overdub

Foreplay/Long Time (Remastered studio recording overdub) is performed by the band Boston. Foreplay is the first song Tom Scholz recorded for what was to become Boston. He wrote it in 1969 when he was studying at MIT. This is part of Boston’s debut album, which was written, produced, and mostly performed by Tom Scholz. He used vocalist Brad Delp to record vocals on his demos but didn’t assemble a full band until he got a deal with Epic Records. Along with Delp, the other members were culled from local bands in the Boston area, some of whom Scholz had played with before. Epic wanted the band to play on all the tracks, but Scholz balked because his demos were just how he wanted them. Sib Hashian played drums on the tracks (except for “Rock & Roll Band,“ which was Jim Masdea), but Scholz needed to get the other two band members - guitarist Barry Goudreau and bass player Fran Sheehan - on the album, so he had Sheehan play on “Foreplay“ and Goudreau on “Long Time.“ R
