Even though all the Columbia studio albums were already included, Sony still put Greatest Hits in the Box of Fire set. She didn’t know a single song but quickly grew to love every one of them. My wife asked for Aerosmith’s Get A Grip for her birthday in 1993 from her uncle, but he couldn’t find it, so he got her Greatest Hits instead. Now 35 years later, it has sold 11 million copies and has become that one Aerosmith disc that everybody seems to have.
When a fan walked up to Joe Perry in 1980 and asked him to sign the brand new record Aerosmith’s Greatest Hits, the guitar player was so out of it that he didn’t even know there was such a record. The album was certified Diamond when its sales reached the ten million mark in 2001. Greatest Hits is the band's bestselling album in the United States, achieving sales in excess of 11 million copies.
AEROSMITH GREATEST HITS 1973 1988 PLUS
In 2004, a slightly revised version, Greatest Hits 1973–1988, was released, 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 song also begins with the first chorus, cutting out the now famous talk box intro. The coda which ends the song was replaced with a repeating of the chorus and fades out. 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 considerably less popular single version. It also contained an alternate lyric which wasn't heard on Get Your Wings.

The single version of "Same Old Song and Dance" was used, and was edited down almost a full minute. Some of the tracks were significantly edited from their original versions. A few remastered versions of Greatest Hits appeared in the 1990s and are considered partly responsible for the band's popular rejuvenation during the decade. It went multi-platinum and contained the hits that made the band an icon of the 1970s rock era.
Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits compilation album by American hard rock band Aerosmith, released by Columbia Records in October 1980.
