CHIP AWAY THE STONE

Live! Bootleg [1978]

NOTE: Now, most would say this is an Aerosmith song. But, this song was recorded and released two times before Aerosmith first released it on their album "Live! Bootleg" (and later on "Gems" and the boxed set "Pandora's Box."). Since Aerosmith was not the first artist to record this song, I cannot include it in the list above. COVERED BY: THE JONESES Does anyone out there own this album? If so, can you please scan the cover of it and e-mail it to me. Thanks! INFO: The Richie Supa track "Chip Away The Stone" is said to have been recorded by a band called The Joneses in 1986 for their debut LP titled "Keepin' up with the Joneses" for Dr Dream records. Not to be confused the soul group of the late 60's/early 70's with the same name who confusingly enough also had a release called "Keepin' Up With the Joneses". That album was released on Mercury Records in 1974 and does NOT include "Chip Away The Stone". INCLUDED ON:   "Keepin' Up With The Joneses" [Dr Dream Records | 1986] (?)
