Bio

Boston was founded by Tom Scholz, an MIT-trained engineer and senior product designer for Polaroid whose home demo tapes led to the formation of the band and their signing to Epic Records. Released in the fall of 1976, the group's Epic debut album Boston peaked at No. 3 but remained on the Billboard Pop Albums chart for more than two and a half years. Two decades later, Boston still holds the RIAA record as the best-selling debut album of all time. (The album was recently certified 16X platinum in the US.) Boston spun off the Top 5 single, "More Than A Feeling," and two additional hits, "Long Time" (No. 22) and "Peace Of Mind" (No. 38).Two years later, Boston released its second Epic album, Don't Look Back. This No. 1 album includes the No. 4 title single and two other hits, "A Man I'll Never Be" and "Feelin' Satisfied". Following the recording of Don't Look Back (now certified 7X platinum), Tom Scholz invented a new type of guitar mini-amplifier. He dubbed it "The Rockman" and successfully marketed this and other sonic inventions through his own company, Scholz Research & Devel-opment.
