Tom Scholz first started writing music in 1969 while he was attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he wrote an instrumental song, "Foreplay". After graduating with a master's degree, Scholz worked for Polaroid, using his salary to build a recording studio in his basement, and to finance demonstration tapes recorded in professional recording studios. Later on down the road, Boston signed a deal with Epic Records. Before the deal could be finalized, the band had to do a live audition for the record-company executives. The showcase was a success and the band agreed to put out 10 albums over the next six years.
