Hey there! I am gearing up for my first trip ever to Toronto for Rushfest Canada on August 1st and 2nd. Anyone else here planning on going?

I couldn't find the issue anywhere online so I am posting the hard copy cover and excerpt to prove that Brown actually said this recently (guessing late 2024/early 2025). I'm guessing the digital version of this issue will be out soon. 

 

Holy crap, I can't believe what I just read in the new June issue of Tape Op. While talking about Signals Terry says "I actually have a remix sitting in the vault that I hope will be released soon".
 

The interview can’t be very old because he talks up his latest work on an instrumental Crown Lands album he says is due out in 2025. 

Looks less and less likely that we will see any of the following:

40th anniversary of Grace Under Pressure or Power Windows

50th anniversary of Fly By Night or Caress of Steel

Are they just out of live material and other goodies or don’t see the point for these albums? Either way I’m bummed that the tap appears to be running dry. 

Why is it that we cannot get confirmation regarding whether or not this song (or parts of it) were ever played live? Someone somewhere has to know one way or the other...

Is it too much to ask for a GUP box this summer followed by a Power Windows box this Christmas? 😬

 

P.S. Preferably without the bad AI Hugh Syme artwork. I’d take the OG artwork from both of these albums over the recent AI garbage accompanying Rush reissues. 

The artwork is terrible. Why are they allowing Rush's legacy to be tarnished with such sub-par artwork and content?

is this 4 album set the 50th anniversary thing??

No, that's some "Atlantic Years" money grab BS. 

Here’s to hoping 2025 is a big year for Rush reissues and anniversary celebrations. My wishlist consists of a 50th boxed set of the first Rush album for Christmas, GUP 40th boxed set for spring of 2025 and Power Windows 40th boxed set for fall of 2025. 

 

P.S. I'd add that 50th anniversary boxed sets for Fly By Night and Caress of Steel would be the cherry on top, but maybe that's asking too much? 

Returning to this thread to thank everyone for their engagement with it. This album was the first release I anticipated coming out after discovering Rush in 1983. Got to see them live at Radio City Music Hall w/ Marillion that year at the tail end of the Signals tour cycle (my first concert at 13 y/o), and then the day the album came out I was at the record store with my heart racing with excitement. GUP 40th boxed set, let’s gooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

How long after the show ended did he leave the venue?

About a half hour. 

I waited and he delivered. Got my original 1982 copy of Signals autographed!

I know some had success at stage door at The beacon.

Thank you!

I'm optimistic that we will see robust GUP 40th AND Rush 50th next year...Geddy and Alex are still vital and eager to put themselves out there.

Hello fellow Rush fans!

 

I'm attending Geddy's "In Conversation" event in Seattle tonight and wondering if anyone knows if he's open to signing an autograph at the stage door?

 

Hoping to get my Signals vinyl signed. First album I ever bought in 1983. 

 

Any word regarding a 40th anniversary boxed set for this amazing album?

I am optimistic that they will issue 40th anniversary versions of every Rush album moving forward (with the early albums getting the 50th anniversary treatment starting in 2024!), my only question is when. Hoping they can get Signals’ 40th squared away by early 2023 so we can get back on track (in terms of release year) with Grace Under Pressure in 2024. 
 

All of this is especially important to me as I first saw Rush in 1983 between the Signals and GUP tours during their sold out 5 night run at Radio City Music Hall (with Marillion opening!). I was 13 and it completely blew my mind. 😊

Does anyone know if this is going to arrive this year or get pushed back because of the late MP boxed set release? 

Listening to Vital Signs live on this recording leaves zero doubt in my mind that Terry Brown was Rush’s greatest producer by far. The sounds, engineering and production are so much richer under his guidance it’s tragic that he didn’t remain on board (or return at some point).

 

On a side note, the release of this track has me excited for what a 40th anniversary edition of Signals might hold.

I SAID; IF I COULD WAVE MY MAGIC WAND!!!

I have a hunch that they’re going to do this for all of their albums. The audience (and $$$) are there, so why not? GUP was the first Rush album that came out after my first Rush concert at Radio City Music Hall in NYC in 1983 (where they debuted 3 songs from GUP!). I remember how thrilled I was to buy that album and would be excited all over again to get the 40th anniversary edition!

 

Aren’t we fortunate to have such a passionate, obsessed group of peers as Rush fans? ������

Sure, but once you get past the mid-80s, how many people do you think are going to want to pay $200 for a deluxe box set of, say, Presto? Probably not even a large number of people who post on here. Certainly not enough to justify the expense of making it.

 

If I could wave my magic wand! ������

I REALLY hope Signals doesn’t get pushed back to 2023!

 

Super Deluxe Boxed Set Pre-Ordered.

 

Please do this for Signals too!!!!!!

 

Full Show.....take my money.

 

On both CD and Vinyl!!!!!!

 

And we got a 5.1 Atmos Surround mix? YES!!!!!

It is amazingly good news. I thought this wasn't gonna happen.

Is it time to start talking about a Signals 40th anniversary release? I’ve lost hope that the MP release is ever happening.
