Grace Under Pressure 40th boxed set?

[caskof43]

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

[grep]

It must not suck.

[_hi_water._]

I am guessing it will be a release of the original album with the tour release on CD from 2009, along with special artwork?

How about some real extra features unlike Signals 40.  This is your chance to redeem yourselves, Universal/Mercury.  Two more after this before the Atlantic era.

 

Don't bother with Presto, Warner.

I think it's more likely that Steven Wilson turns Under Wraps into a much more popular TULL album than ever before with another killer box set, than getting a good 40th anniversary edition of GUP in 2024 or 2025.

A mediocre Signals box set has done for the series I fear.

[Lurkst]

I think only a full concert release could redeem this one.

It was possibly their shortest set after they became established headliners, so shouldn't be problematic squeezing it onto vinyl. 

 

[Rushman14]

Definitely in the works.

Speak for yourself. There some good songwriting on that album. "Show Don't Tell" is even more accurate these days. "The Pass" is a powerful song especially if suicide has impacted your life. "Presto" is great even if it isn't the typical Peart penned song.

I agree, but won't hold my breath.

 

At best, I see a complete Toronto release. I think a full concert from another date would be even better (and preferably from the first half of the tour).

 

Again, I will believe it when I see it.

Need a full show, either audio or video, or I'm not interested. Didn't buy the Signals one because there was no live stuff.

For whatever reason the Signals tour seems to have been like the Caress Of Steel tour when it comes to official live recordings. Utterly bizarre given the scale of it at the time.

Hopefully now we're over that bump in the road there will be more material forthcoming....

This is when I boarded the bus -- looking forward to something, but if it redoes the Signals disappointment, I will riot.

Alternate night would be nice but not holding my breath.

Is a stand alone CD of the 2015 master too much to ask?  The recording  has already been done. Only the art will be new.

I wonder what kind of twisted and demented things Mr Syme is going to do with the egg and vice.

Hey, the full show from Toronto would be fantastic!! Maybe remixed a bit?? With a Complete DVD would totally redeem the Signals debacle!

[g under p]

This IS the album that got me started in being the RUSHNUT that I'm. It was my first tour, concert and contains my #1 RUSH song RSA. Also the song has a relationship to my #1 RUSH moment in the 50 live shows I've seen since 11/84 Hampton VA.

 

They better get this right with something new with added new live songs from this epic tour. Just make it special for my sake please. ✌️

It's a shame because that tour featured their best setlist, hands down. Not a clinker in the bunch.

[Rush Didact]

I would love it if they'd remix the p/g live video again.  That remix Chycki did in 2006 was absolutely horrible.

One of their best sets ever.

This is a great idea and would make for a great release. 

But nothing will ever redeem the Signals debacle. Except for a reworked package with lots of live material.

I know it won't fully redeem it, however it would put the 40th releases back on track??

A stand alone CD release would do that.
