Don't Look Back is the second studio album by American rock band Boston, released on this day in 1978. The album sold over four million copies in the first month (!) of its release, and was certified 7x platinum by the RIAA in the US.
This album also marked the beginning of the band's legal fight with its record label Epic Records. Scholz claimed that Epic executives pushed him and the band into releasing the album before they felt it was ready. He also said that the album "was ridiculously short. It needed another song." Their next album, Third Stage, was not released for another eight years, by which time the band and record label had parted ways and were fighting a courtroom battle that Boston ultimately won.
The title track is one of the band's biggest hits, reaching #4 in 1978 on the Billboard Hot 100. Other hits from the album include "A Man I'll Never Be" (#31), and "Feelin' Satisfied" (#46).
