blueschica Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 From Danforth and Pape- "Rush’s utterly iconic first live album was recorded at the utterly iconic Massey Hall at 178 Victoria Street in Toronto on June 11th, 12th and 13th during their 2112 tour. All the World's a Stage was Rush's first US Top 40-charting album and went gold, alongside A Farewell to Kings and 2112 on November 16th 1977. It was certified platinum in the US in 1981 after the release of Moving Pictures. In the words of the band at the time of the album’s release, “This album to us, signifies the end of the beginning, a milestone to mark the close of chapter one, in the annals of Rush.”Choose your own adventure (or memories!)- how many formats did you have it in? (that blue cassette looks like one of those totally unauthorized Mexican cassettes they used to have in the gas station for $4.00 . . . .) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Permanent-Rush Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) I have an original pressing on vinyl (The one with the thing that has more pictures on it (I think a gatefold?? Or whatever that thingy is called that you open on a vinyl that reveals a picture or pictures on the inside)).

That's really cool !I believe that version also has the album sides set up as 1/4 and 2/3 for easy play on a stackable phonograph. Only one flip needed! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 The original triple gatefold sleeve. I bought the re-issue a few years later which didn't have the 3rd page of photos on the right... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) I think Geddy has the same Bozo figure that I had when I was a kid .... He's gotta have him secured down on the top of the amp, so he might look a little different, but he sure looks like that what he has on the amp there .. definitely looks like Bozo Edited October 3, 2018 by Lucas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 That's awesome! Good eye. So they even had the funny props back then. Never noticed that before. The precursor to Barbie dolls etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
