The producer of Boston's eponymous album was John Boylan. When John was younger, he and his brother, Terry Boylan, worked together to create a concept album Playback in 1968 as The Appletree Theatre off the Verve Forecast record label. Together, they created a loose concept album about... well, I dunno, but it was organized like one with a prologue, three acts, and an epilogue. The album humorously echoed many of the popular sounds and ideas of the time, taking notes from The Beatles, Frank Zappa, and Pink Floyd while implementing (among others) psychedelic rock, sunshine pop, jazz, and classical music into their sound.
