- The first pressings also included a full bio on the back cover referencing Steve's "grass in the locker rap" and Tom's "first acid bust in Sunapee New Hampshire." These references were edited out on subsequent pressings

Aerosmith - Dream On
- 1975 Promo Reissue 7", 45 RPM, Vinyl Single
- includes original Columbia single sleeve
- A-side features the short radio version. B-side contains the original long version from the album.
- FM radio promo copy with notations from the Program Director on labels.
- "The album version of "Dream On" (4:28, as opposed to the 3:25 1973 45 rpm edit where most of the intro has been edited out and the first chorus is replaced with the second chorus) was re-issued in late 1975, debuting at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on January 10, 1976, breaking into the top 40 on February 14 and peaking at number 6 on April 10. Columbia Records chose to service top 40 radio stations with both long and short versions of the song, thus many 1976 pop radio listeners were exposed to the group's first top 10 effort through the 45 edit."
