I first heard Rush when my mom got me 2112 back in 1981. I knew nothing about them, i just liked the cover art and song titles. Signals was the first new album that came out where I was a full on fan.
I got it on LP at my local Safeway grocery store back when they used to have a section for records and tapes.
By then I was hooked and Signals is still one of my go to albums. In my old age i consider it a companion piece to Moving Pictures. The blend of the 3 piece rock with the new technology was perfectly balanced. Neil's drumming on Signals is among his best work. Everyone is in peak form.
I'm ready for some 40th anniversary love myself.
