sfuentes Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I would like to see a reissue of Archives. Although it's a compilation, and I already have all of the albums, I still would like to have Archives on a 3-disc set, just because I'm an avid collector of Rush memorabilia and the like.

Slaine mac Roth Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I can't reallly see the point of Archives being re-issued. Archives was originally released as a convenient way for non-US/Canadian fans to catch up on the band's back catalogue as the three albums hadn't been given an official release at the time. Its likely that the majority of people have already got the individual releases seperately so I can't see that there is much of a demand for it.

madra sneachta Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I'm with Slaine on this - in the past few years we've had the two retrospectives and the Spirit of Radio compilation, and I see the Chronicles set is being reissued on CD as well. Personally. I won't be getting them, as I now have all the albums on CD. Unless of course there's some previously unreleased stuff packaged with it, which is highly unlikely. I say bring on the DVDs - then the credit card comes out faster than you can say "We're gonna take a short break for some brain surgery". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afansince74 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 As much as I like to collect all their released stuff, if they did re-release it, I'd have to pass on it, unless it had bonus materials or something else unique. Otherwise, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastille Night Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 This would just be a cash grab in my opinion. As stated above, they should spend their time on DVD's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonraker Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Gotta say no, they have Rush, Fly By Night and Caress of Steel for sale, theres no reason why Archives needs to be released again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumnut Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 If they would release a "re-print" on vinyl the way it was originally released, I would buy it just to add to my collection but a CD release would just be a "cash grab." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Sorry man - it looks like you don't have much support. And you're not gonna get any from me, either. I don't see the need, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New World Kid Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Nah, just seems like another compilation that reall isn't needed since pretty much the same songs show up on all the others already.....and anyway, they have realeased a lot of compilations recently (or re-released) so, nah.

PuppetKing2112 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 According to Contents Under Pressure, the reason they released Archives was to give Caress of Steel a second life, because they still believed in that record at the time. Considering how they feel about that record now, I think a rerelease is highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilPeartFan2112 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Considering I already have Rush, Fly By Night and Caress of Steel, I would just be wasting my money purchasing Archives. I would much rather get it on vinyl anyways for my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 But I thought you were planning on buying the upcoming Chronicles reissue. Same deal. You already have the songs, why waste your cash? I do agree with you about buying it on vinyl though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazzman Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Absolutly not. Besides, I'd rather see new material released rather than just re-releases or compilations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleAgent420 Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 What's the point of that? I have the first three albums on CD. I also have Archives on vinyl, it was given to me as a Christmas present by my dad's fiance. She got it when she was young. Even if I didn't have that, then like I said before: what's the point?

rushbass Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I bought Archives once... only because I was new to Rush at the time, and did not know it was a compilation of previously released albums... If you got the first three albums, you are good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will say that I had Archives on vinyl (grey cover). It was the way I was gifted with the first three albums. It was actually several years before I ever saw the photographs inside Caress of Steel, because I didn't own it; I owned Archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
