OTD: Aerosmith Released The FIRST EVER Digital Download

On this day in 1994, Aerosmith became the first band to let fans download music from the internet! Sounds made up, doesn’t it?

There was no iTunes, Spotify, Napster, or Pandora then but the Toxic Twins were ahead of the game! Remember those slow dial-up days?! Lol.

Head First, an unreleased track from their Get A Grip sessions on Geffen Records, was available to download on CompuServe, one of America's first major internet service platforms, and became the first digitally downloadable song… EVER!

Head First took an hour and a half to download! Can you imagine that in today’s tech world? We’d move on in seconds flat!

Such a huge moment in the music industry and the World Wide Web, courtesy of the Boston Boys!

Hope you enjoyed this small (BUT MIGHTY) piece of trivia!
