"Dream Until Your Dream Come True" - From Aerosmith's Vindaloo Vaults. This is said to be their First Known Recordings, All Previously Unreleased.
Originally recorded in October 1971, Boston, Mass. This is extremely limited and a Black Friday Record Store Day 2021 indie exclusive.

The earliest recordings by most classic artists are dreadful. The Beatles’ early demos? Awful. The Rolling Stones? Amateurish. Prince? Formless, too-long songs. Nirvana? Juvenile. Traces of the future brilliance are there, but not many.

Which is what makes this recently unearthed Aerosmith tape from 1971 — recorded either at a rehearsal or a soundcheck 12-18 months before the release of their debut album — so remarkable. It’s got a grit, heart and raunch that are sorely missing from the band’s admittedly stiff and flat-sounding debut, which nevertheless features “Dream On,” probably their most legendary song.

 The seven songs here are mostly early versions of songs from the first album — “Mama Kin,” “Somebody,” their grinding take on “Walkin’ the Dog” — along with the early outtake “Major Barbara” and a cover of the 1940s-era blues song “Reefer Head Woman” (resuscitated years later for 1979’s “Night in the Ruts,” presumably because the band was low on material at the time).
