Aerosmith are continuing to celebrate their 50th anniversary by sharing a stream of a 1971 rehearsal performance of "Somebody", from the forthcoming wide release of "Aerosmith - 1971: The Road Starts Hear."

The recently discovered 1971 rehearsal recordings were released as a special Record Store Day package and now the band will be issuing it on CD and digitally on April 8th.

This rare recording from 1971 was recently discovered in Aerosmith's Vindaloo Vaults and was originally only available as a limited-edition cassette and vinyl release for Record Store Day in 2021.

Aerosmith - 1971: The Road Starts Hear will also included previously unseen archived photos, images of the original tape box, and liner notes written by Rolling Stone's David Fricke with new interviews and comments from the band about this long-forgotten recording.
