If I look at my Rush collection on a shelf, so all I'm seeing are the sides (spines) whatever.... all of the titles would face the same way, except for Presto.

Slaine mac Roth Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Actually, my copy is perfectly normal, I don't know about any other British fans. It is an original copy which I bought on the day of release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleAgent420 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I had noticed the printing on the album spine beforeand thought ???? to myself. Since little things like that bother me, I just turned the album around in my case so that the other edge (the side that opens) faces up. Guess what, it's right side up! Woohoo!!

Moonraker Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 BTW, I cannot comment on the issue of the side of the Presto cover. Less then 1 week after buying Presto, my cd case went AWOL. Luckily for me, the insert was removed and placed in my cd case along with the cd, so nothing vital went missing (except the back insert in question). Unlucky for me, both my Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusion I and II were in the cd case at the time and I had lost them. At the time, they were in heavy rotation in my cd player, so that really bummed me out. Thats ok though, a few months later I was able to burn a copy of each, but I would like the original cds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lady I was reading about happened to be in the record store when they put the originals out for sale and she bought one and has had it ever since. According to my Price Guide to Collectable Record Albums (ver.1996), an original "butcher cover" (known as "first state")in mono have a NM value of $3,000 - $5,000 dollars and a stereo version in NM condition between $6,000 - $12,000. "Second state" LP's (with the "trunk cover" pasted over it) in mono have a NM value of $800 - $1,200 dollars and a stereo version in NM condition between $3,000 - $6,000. "Second state" perfectly "peeled" LP's are valued between $1,000 and $6,000 and second pressing "trunk covers" with no overlays are valued between $75 and $400 in MN quality.

You must have been reading my mind. I always noticed that on my copy too. When I put the case and cd in my cd rack it has to be put face down and then the front of the cd is pointing down. I was looking at that again yesterday. Thanks for posting your observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On TheRoad To Adventure Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Mine is a re-issue and it is upside down too when I place them all the shelf. In addition, the lyrics are printed in the wrong order! I only bought it a couple of years ago - the last Rush album I purchased, so I don't know the songs very well yet. When I want to follow along, it's a little annoying that the songs are in the wrong order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionDetector Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 A long time ago before I owned the album, I borrowed my uncle's copy, and it was upside down.

To get the spine to read correctly on the rack among your other CD's, you have to turn the CD upside-down. I remember having this conversation on-line, about ten years ago, on a different Rush board.

Your method takes more than 60 seconds. Not much more, but more. Mine takes two seconds. If you're up for the project you suggest, perhaps you'd also be interested in what I did to the thin, environmentally-conscious packaging for "Feedback." With some creative cutting, I turned it into an impressive jewel-cased CD. I'll take a couple pictures and post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
