50 years ago this week, a debut album was released that changed the face of rock and roll. Tom Scholz recorded a series of tracks in the basement of a house outside Boston and named his makeshift group for the city. It went on to sell millions of copies. Patrick is joined by George (formerly of Hong Kong, now of West Virginia) to discuss this landmark LP.
