Done with Mirrors (1985) is the eighth studio album by American hard rock band Aerosmith, and marked the return of Joe Perry and Brad Whitford to the fold. It was also their first album released by Geffen Records. It was intended as their "comeback" album, but it didn't live up to commercial expectations. In keeping with the title, all the text on the album, except for a copyright notice, was written back-to-front and could be read normally by holding it up to a mirror. More recent CD pressings flip all of the artwork so it can be read without a mirror.
