I wonder when this will go up on Amazon?

Finally, The Camera Eye from the MP Tour pro-mixed!

To all the folks that think there's no demand for 40th Anniversary sets after Signals, you're so wrong. I'm 53. Plenty of us grow up during your much despised "keyboard era" and it is the soundtrack of our teenage years. Grace Under Pressure was my first new Rush release and my grails are a full audio show which includes the Red Lenses drum solo and the best version of Between the Wheels + the full concert video on Blu-Ray. After that, I'd flip for full audio/video shows of Power Windows, Hold Your Fire, Presto, Roll the Bones, Counterparts and Test for Echo. I know there are bits and pieces of Power Windows, Hold Your Fire, Presto and Test for Echo out there, but I crave full professionally mixed shows of all those tours and video would be amazing! Rush made a hell of a lot of albums post Terry Brown and there are many of us who love them just as much as you folks enjoy the Terry Brown era.

Waiting to see the Amazon price. I bet it will be lower and actually get delivered on the release date. Oh, and we won't be gouged for shipping like at the Rush Backstage Club.

Super excited to get a FULL Moving Pictures show. VERY disappointed not to get a blu ray video of a full show ala Exit...Stage Left + Bonus footage. Annoyed that I have to pay $300 for the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Blu Ray of the studio album.

The original if you want them as they were released.

 

I really like the Sector remasters period. But with Hold Your Fire there are some differences in added guitars on High Water (great freaking song) and strings on Mission. A missing lyric from Time Stand Still. Just some oddities not on the original release. Kinda cool actually.

 

Sound wise The Sector box set as a whole is excellent.

 

Check out the Steve Hoffman Forums. Sectors is considered absolute garbage.

 

I could care less what he thinks. All that matters....is what my ears think.

 

It's the forum members, not Steve Hoffman. The general consensus now is that the 2015 LP remasters, available as HD downloads, are far superior. I've been doing A/B comparisons & they are absolutely right.

 

Interesting. Need to check those out!!

 

I've been chasing these all month! The Hi Res downloads of the 2015 vinyl remasters are a treasure!

I'll bet they do Moving Pictures and Signals, maybe Grace, and then stop. The albums that are considered their "classic" period are the only ones where it's worth spending the money it takes to produce a box like this, in terms of how many people will buy it. That's why they didn't do them for the first three albums and started with 2112 and likely won't continue past the mid-80s. Not enough people will be interested in dropping $150 on a Presto box set for them to put the time, effort and money into producing it. But Moving Pictures and Signals? Absolutely.

 

I think you're right. But I'd say they would go up to Power Windows. HYF, RTB, and Presto were where the old-Rush fans dropped off sharply.

 

Maybe they don't need to do 'box sets'. Maybe 40th anniversary special edition CD/DVD packages are enough. Just put some good stuff in the booklets.

 

I've never bought a box-set from any band, except for the first Rush album reissue. But I'll buy a CD/DVD for an anniversary every time for a Rush, DT, Metallica, PT......

 

I guess we selective forget that Roll the Bones was their last platinum album after two poor sellers? I know, for a fact, that many folks, younger than me, got into RUSH during Roll the Bones. I know...the horror! Hahahahaha! Once again, I'm a diehard Post Terry Brown fan & I'll buy every one of these 40th Anniversary sets!

I dunno. Someone just bought my Vapor Trails vinyl for $650. I think there's a lot of us that love Post Terry Brown Rush.

It will be a damn shame if the 40th Anniversary sets are done.

 

I hope at some point they will be done with.

 

I don't think there's anything really interesting to buy for a 40th anniversary package after the Terry Brown period.

 

For the box sets that have already been released, some fans gripe about things that aren't satisfactory to them.

 

It's as if the assumption or expectation that the band has a tonne of archival stuff when they don't.

 

These completist type individual's just don't get it.

 

Also it seems ridiculous if there's going to be anniversary packages for all the band's albums.

 

I rarely see any musician influenced by RUSH discuss anything from the early 80's and beyond that influenced them in their musical beginnings.

 

There's tribute bands of course that play all of RUSH's material.

 

However for historical significance, the Terry Brown period is what RUSH will be remembered most for.

 

Gotta say that I loathe the ignorance of the stuck in the Terry Brown period RUSH fans. They refuse to accept that there are A LOT of us that LOVE Rush after Terry Brown left. Heck! My #1 most wanted 40th Anniversary is Grace Under Pressure! I'm praying they have the full concert audio from the VHS, laserdisc, DVD release and, hopefully, the footage of the full concert and make it available on Blu-Ray. I'd also love full concerts of Hold Your Fire, Roll the Bones, Counterparts and more. The only Terry Brown release I'm craving is Signals for a full concert live CD!

The original if you want them as they were released.

be patient.

 

And I'll be patient after 2024. That's when I hope to have the complete Grace Under Pressure Tour CD AND Blu-Ray! Must have the drum solo/Red Lenses AND the best live version of Between the Wheels!

be patient.

 

Do you know something?

What lyric is missing on the sectors TSS?

 

Actually I was wrong..not a missing lyric but a very odd transition not on the original release going into the second verse. It sounds terrible actually. And it is an obvious mistake to my ears. Other than that I love the Sectors remaster of this record. More bottom end, the string section in Mission sounds glorious and some cool little guitar blasts from Alex on High Water.

 

Explain how and when...I've listened to the sector HYF a bunch of times and never picked up on this

 

You don't hear the added strings on Mission???

This thread is hilarious to read now that most people say the Sectors & Atlantic box sets are brickwalled junk!

That depends on whether or not you view Feedback as an official album, an EP or, being an album made soley of covers, an obscure curio no more legitimate as an album than a live cd/dvd.

 

I view CA as their 19th release.

That's fine, but Feedback was recorded by Rush in the studio. :D

It's an EP, not an album. End of story.

 

Rush calls CA their 20th studio album.

 

Billboard classifies EP as 4 to 6 songs. However, according to Recording Industry Association of America, an EP is defined as 3-5 songs, whereas a single is allowed to contain up to 4 songs. [/Quote]

 

Feedback contains 8 songs. :D

Do they? Not doubting you, but I'd like to see that mentioned by them. If they do, then I will count Feedback as a studio album. If they say it is, it is.

Was Roll the Bones released on vinyl in the US?

hm...

 

I wouldn't mind if it were to be another concept album. Either way, it's still too early for me to anticipate a new Rush album; I'll wait until 2015.

New Star Wars & new Rush! WOW!

But does that mean it should necessarily be counted as an authentic, true Rush album like 2112 or A Farewell To Kings? Yes, recorded in a studio, but I wouldn't fret if somebody discounted it as a proper album. Its more of a curio, an odd but likeable one.

 

But on the other hand I can see why you might decide it does count, but I never hear anybody talk about the transition Rush made from Vapor Trails to Feedback. Rather, its VP to Snakes ans Arrows. Feedback is just an oddity, much like Toto's Through The Looking Glass. Its nice they made it, but it is Rush the band members having fun, rather than Rush themselves.

 

Despite the marketing, most seem to regard CA the 19th album, as do I.

You know Toto as well? I think we are going to be pals! :)

Thanks dude! What 7 albums haven't you heard yet? That's so exciting!

CA was their 20th studio album. :D

I'm not including the Feedback EP. Clockwork Angels was the 19th studio album of original Rush material.

I view Clockwork Angels as such a masterpiece that I'm spoiled now. I kind of don't want to go back to the days of 8 or 10 loosely, thematically linked songs. I want the next album to be another concept piece to continue building upon the success of Clockwork Angels. Who agrees?

Was the print sealed with the album packaging or was it something separate the store gave you?

I'd like to know as well! I just called the Princeton Record Exchange & they said they have the vinyl, but no prints.

 

You had to buy the vinyl at an indie record store most record stores got 2-3 of them they were not inside the lp. places like amazon and best buy etc did not get them.

Thanks! I just scored one off eBay for $2.99.
