Not to be confused with “the boston group”:
TBG (The Boston Group) is a B2B and B2G marketing communications firm in Boston, MA, with a roster of global clients that define innovation in aerospace ... (Wikipedia)
The group has actually been around for 40 years now, and has sold over 75 million records worldwide. With a band that’s been around that long, you shouldn’t be too surprised that their list of members has its own Wikipedia page. And that page includes 7 current members and 14 former ones.
Early version – Barry Goudreau, Tom Scholz, Sib Hashian, Brad Delp, Fran Sheehan
This was actually their debut album, and features the classic “More Than a Feeling.” They have a couple of other songs out there that sound familiar. Honestly, they all sound kind of the same - and very 70s.
The cover was quite the group effort. Based on an idea from one of their band members, it was designed by Paula Scher, and was illustrated by Roger Huyssen, with lettering from Gerard Huerta.
Paula was a busy bee, knotting over 262 credits. I really like her stuff - some of it pretty well known.
Roger was equally creative, though nowhere near as prolific. He was known for a set of very creative designs for some classical stuff.
Though the artists would change (both graphical and musical), the band really range the changes on that UFO-kinda thingie:
Kind of amazed I couldn't find any parodies on this classic.
