If it helps David - Boston had a huge hit with 'More than a Feeling' here. I think the first 2 albums went multi platinum. Scholz also pioneered the Rockman (?) pocket guitar amp equivalent of the Sony Walkman. Boston, Journey - even 80s Fleetwood Mac and Jefferson Starship and melodic Scorpions - tend to be sort of missed out on nowadays.

Scholz is an interesting story. He was not a professional musician, he was an engineer at Polaroid Corporation working on instant film technology as his day job. This was in late 70's of course. He pretty much cooked up the entire first Boston album in his basement, doing sound engineering and guitars. As I recall it took him several years, working in his spare time.
He made history with the debut Boston album, both for his splashy style, and the outstanding sound of the recording. It sounded "huge." Remember this was before digital. Before the record came out, no one knew anything about him. That first Boston album went on to become one of the biggest selling records of all time. -------------------- "I dreamed a lot when I was younger..
