This was a few years back, so perhaps that argument had been resolved way back then.

But not for me and I saw this posted on Billy Alexander’s page a couple days ago:

also, check out the band backdrop during 2112 and Priests.

I'm honoured to have been approached and invited by Steve to be the next release in the catalogue (with of course all proceeds from my album going to Funding Neuro too). 

So, RUSH FOR SOLO PIANO The Album... is on it way.
All the tracks have been fully remastered by Steve and sound magnificent to my ears. Hugh's art is all done. Next up, hopefully, it all goes off to print and press! I'll provide an update as soon as the release date starts to look imminent! Watch this space!!

Just so happens I was watching this Rush video when someone reminded me about a new thread. Not a song, but still Rush.

https://rushbrasil.com/en/quando-complicar-virou-linguagem-no-rush/

Is it worth it?  Couldn't the counter melody he plays be covered by a bass part?  I've just never listened to either of those songs and thought, oh wow, they're really adding another texture to this song that doesn't exist in other Rush songs.

Maybe I've just been watching Angine de Poitrine videos for too long today...but it just kinda seems like a waste of shoulder muscles to me...

interview

Imagine a Rush Fantasia movie...

Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/@STILL-KICKIN (it almost already exists)

In 1975, the band won the Juno for most promising group, and won group of the year back-to-back in '78 and '79. Rush has won 10 Junos in total, including the inaugural Juno Award for best hard rock/metal album in 1991 for its 13th album, Presto (CBC).

Anyone know what brand it is?  The one from the Juno show.

This is definitely a great magazine to purchase, but if you want to read it first, you can do so at the link below.

Grace Under Pressure Box Set Liner Notes and Essays

Grace Under Pressure Box Set Artwork and Photos

Who are you mother of all machines...just who the hell are you anyway??? 

With regards to live bonus material, we know that there is a terrific recording from the MP tour for which 2 tracks were released on the '2112 Deluxe Edition' released at the end of 2012:

- Overture (Northland Coliseum, Edmonton, AB - June 25, 1981)

- The Temples of Syrinx (Northland Coliseum, Edmonton, AB - June 25, 1981)

These tracks sound fantastic in my opinion.

This show in Edmonton was very likely one of the many candidate recordings for Exit Stage Left.

Wouldn't it be GREAT if we got the WHOLE or a VERY LARGE portion of the Edmonton show? How about The Camera Eye from the MP Tour! Yes please??

And please don't let Alex near the mixing board. No gated, compressed, clipping and altered drum adjustments - please! =)

ps. We are getting old. They are getting old. Get this out there before it's lost forever!

(All originals No CDRs MP3s etc..) I'll be happy to answer any questions on anything below. References and photos available on request.

Quote

As an avid collector of all things Rush, I recently stumbled upon something that I feel needs to be shared.  In my ongoing hunt for some obscure piece of Rush history, I was given the opportunity to acquire an old school TDK cassette tape, simply labeled RUSH "Rough Mixes" July 1, 1989 along with a few other band related artifacts.  The fact that it had a Le Studio label really caught my interest.  The date on the cassette and the tracks listed, albeit out of order, made it obvious it was the album Presto.  The owner of this tape was not a fan of the band, just a guy that flipped houses.  Turns out he discovered the tape in the old residence of one of Alex's since deceased long time guitar techs.  After striking a deal for about a dozen itineraries from the Power Windows and Grace Under Pressure tours, a super cool SRO patch and a bunch of random other documents from Le Studio, I decided to take a chance on the cassette.  Was it blank?  Was I scammed?  

When the casette arrived, poorly packed in just a bubble mailer, I realized I had no device readily available to actually play it!  Off to the garage to find my Fisher dual cassette CD Boombox with detachable speakers.  I found a different cassette, pressed play, and my boombox still worked.  Sigh of relief.    Now what about this 35 year old TDK SA90 I just got.  I didn't expect much, and cautiously pressed play, and right out of the gate, Show Don't Tell, was somewhat different!  I'm playing a 35 year old cassette in a 30 year old cassette player...  and it sounds AMAZING!  Literal chills.  I'm sitting there listening to Rough Mix versions of songs very few people have ever had the opportunity to hear.....  until now.  Needless to say, the original tape has since been backed up I am honored to share this piece of Rush history and I hope you all enjoy it.  Please share it.
Special thanks to Danny de Hoyos for all his efforts and assistance in putting this all together on YouTube.

Listen to the songs here. 

Neil plays essentially the same pattern for verse 1 and verse 2...but on verse 1 he is keeping time on the hi-hat...and playing accents on the high toms.  On the 2nd verse, he is keeping time on the ride, and playing the same (or very similar) accents on the low/floor toms.  It struck me that the first verse is about a girl...and the second is about a boy.  I can't help but think he thought about the pitch choices accordingly.  I think that's cool.

Note: I have not met Geddy Lee, but if I did, I would probably scream and freak out.

I LOVE the 40th anniversary CD sets by Sean Magee, I think they have as much depth as the original vinyls. This is great as it means I don't have to worry about overplay ha ha!! 

I think while the Grace Under Pressure 40th set is up in the air, I might try and buy a few of the later albums digitally to save waiting until 2028 or later for those albums to be released as 40th CD sets. 

I've got a few questions which I hope someone can answer: 

1 - Is Sean Magee the only engineer involved in the 2015 remasters? So if a sales listing has someone else mentioned as mastering the album, that won't be a 2015 remaster, is that correct? Is it a good rule of thumb to say that if a listing has a release date or a copyright date of 2015, it will be by Sean Magee?

2 - Can someone tell me if these sales listings are Sean's remasters or not please?:

https://www.highresaudio.com/en/album/view/9n57tm/rush-power-windows-40th-anniversary-remaster-2015

https://www.highresaudio.com/en/album/view/22tvyg/rush-hold-your-fire-40th-anniversary-remaster-2015

https://www.hdtracks.com/#/album/5df32fde9c9028d5e6b9745e

On the Power Windows link it mentions Bob Ludwig as mastering it, but I thought he only did the 1997 CD remasters?

3 - Has Sean remastered everything in the Discography out of interest? I've seen he's remastered up until Test For Echo, but I'm not sure about the last 3 albums?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide :)

All I'd change on PW would be to remove all the stupid little synthesizer bleats, honks, and downright annoying squawks (Big Money, I'm looking at you).
