By 1973, the band had a six-song demo tape ready for mailing, and [M.I.T. Engineering graduate Tom] Scholz and his wife Cindy sent copies to every record company they could find.

Boston was primarily recorded at Scholz's own Foxglove Studios in Watertown, Massachusetts in "an elaborate end run around the CBS brain trust." Epic wanted a studio version that sounded identical to the demo tape, and Scholz decided he could not work in a production studio, having adapted to home recording for several years, stating "I work[ed] alone, and that was it." Scholz took a leave of absence from Polaroid, and was gone for several months to record the band's album. "I would wake up every day and go downstairs and start playing," he recalled. Scholz grew annoyed reproducing the parts, being forced to use the same equipment used on the demo. The basement, located in a lower-middle-class neighborhood on School Street, was described by Scholz as a "tiny little space next to the furnace in this hideous pine-paneled basement of my apartment house, and it flooded from time to time with God knows what." There was a Hammond organ and a Leslie speaker stuffed in the corner of the room alongside the drums; whenever it was time to record the organ parts, they would tear the drums down and pull out the Leslie.

The entire recording was completed in the basement, save for Delp's vocals, which were recorded at Capitol Studios' Studio C with Warren Dewey engineering the overdubs.

With the exception of "Let Me Take You Home Tonight," the album was a virtual copy of the demo tapes. The album was recorded for a cost of a few thousand dollars, a paltry amount in an industry accustomed to spending hundreds of thousands on a single recording.

"In my mind, [Tom Scholz] started the record-at-home revolution because he recorded that first Boston album at home in his basement. And once that news came out, every other musician said, 'You mean I don't have to spend $125 an hour to record an album?' So he was the first to record a hit album at home. All the recording equipment manufacturers picked up on that and said, 'Wow, we can sell to all musicians as opposed to just selling our products to recording studios," said [guitarist Gary] Pihl who was hired by Scholz to demonstrate his gadgets at industry trade shows, and eventually became an employee of not only Scholz, but a member of his band.
