Segue Myles Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) I have a huge music collection and would like to make it more compact so with some bands I am collecting box sets where available to try and save space. Now this is blasphemy, I know, but I do not own a single live Rush album either. So...these sets have all the original albums AND the live albums up to whatever date they stop (how deep was that hehe), and the box sets themselves look gorgeous to my eyes. Not too expensive considering what's is contained within (and I bought the original albums for less than £5 up to Hold Your Fire anyway...). So, worth getting?

Lorraine Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Now this is blasphemy, I know, but I do not own a single live Rush album either. :o I should say so. :o I would get the Rush Sector sets if I could. The sound is excellent. Eagle will tell you. Isn't that right, Eagle? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianice Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Yes they are worth getting!. The sound is sensational, packaging is cool. Hands down the best remasters out there! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Yes I agree. They just sound great. A lot better then the 1997 remasters. Those was a big failure in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Yes they are worth getting!. The sound is sensational, packaging is cool. Hands down the best remasters out there! Except for the Mobile and Audio Fidelity versions where applicable or course. Never liked the idea of just one booklet for everything. I think the lyrics should be with the album.

The only good thing about the '97s were that the art was faithful to the original releases. The '97s were the only place you could find the mini replica of the Hemispheres poster. Aside from that they sounded less dynamic and too loud for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I would agree that they are the best sound quality of any official CD release out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna enjoy the art, then get the vinyl records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD box sets are usually better too because vinyl box sets can be prohibitively expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
