Aerosmith took on "Come Together" in 1978, hauling the song that opens the Beatles' Abbey Road out of its cool, murky groove and into a louder, sweatier room. The Lennon–McCartney credit stays on the label, though the song was John Lennon's, and it traces back to a 1969 request from Timothy Leary for a campaign tune built on his slogan.

The band arranged and produced their version with Jack Douglas, who also sat behind the board alongside Lee DeCarlo, Jay Messina and Rod O'Brien, and Mark Radice filled in on keyboards and backing vocals. What comes out is less a tribute than a strut: the same slinky riddle of a song, played with heavier boots on.
