GeddPratLerxst Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Wouldn't it be great if Rush released EVERY studio album on vinyl? I would pay good money for it. Especially since it would probably be on heavy vinyl. It's so hard to have a complete vinyl collection (especially because not all albums are on vinyl...) because albums like RTB and S&A are so expensive. It would be amazing if they could release a vinyl box set like the rolling stones have done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thizzellewashington Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I would pay a lot of money for this box set, or even just for the albums individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 As someone who has trawled second hand shops, car boot sales, record fairs and worse(eBay!) to complete my collection, this option would be far too easy. Much prefer the masochistic route! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I have em all up to and including HYF. Not played them for 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-D-RocK- Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 A box set of Rush vinyl? Thing would weigh 60 lbs. You'd have to lug it out of the store in a wheelbarrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling you, it's the only way....I remember walking into a second hand store in Brussels, and walking out with the Hemispheres picture disc and Rush Through Time...I think I got drunk soon afterwards.

Ted Barchetta Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 If they do it, they should release it in 5 album sets. Something like 'Rush' through 'All The Worlds A Stage' as the first one, and 'A Farewell To Kings' through 'Exit...Stage Left' as the second one and so on and so forth. Much better than having all 26 studio and live albums in one mammoth, overweight crazybox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Wince Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 id buy it. no doubt in my mind. I wouldnt care how much it cost or what my financial situation is at the time. I'd buy it. LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oracle Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 This is not a bad idea at all, but as one whole box? No way. Would weigh too much and would probably be near one grand in price! An idea stated earlier seems to work, but here's what I imagine. Box 1 (1974-1978) Rush Fly By Night Caress of Steel 2112 All The World's A Stage A Farewell to Kings Hemispheres Box 2 (1980-1989) Permanent Waves Moving Pictures Exit...Stage Left Signals Grace Under Pressure Power Windows Hold Your Fire A Show of Hands Presto Box 3 (1991-1998) Roll The Bones Counterparts Test For Echo Different Stages Box 4 (2002-2008) Vapor Trails Rush In Rio Feedback R30 Snakes And Arrows Snakes And Arrows Live Of course, with the length of 'Different Stages', I could just see the first two discs being on vinyl and not the third. 'Rio' would be a monster if it were on vinyl; same with 'S&A Live'. If it were just the studio albums, I wouldn't mind buying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scars Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yeah, I don't quite know how'd they release it realistically. Besides, all I need is Roll the Bones-today as far as vinyl goes. Test for Echo finally getting a vinyl release would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softfilter Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Crude oil prices would rise considerably. Make it a Rush wooden crate box set, rope handles on the sides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine there would be. Hey, I grew up in the vinyl era and owned all those Rush albums on vinyl, from the first album up to and including Presto. I loved them, but I have no use for them now so I've sold them all to used record stores and at garage sales. CD's sound much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the arguments that people make about vinyl sounding better than CD's. I've heard enough people rave up and down about it that I have no choice to take them at their word that they're probably right. However... ... you STILL have to contend with pops and crackles, and you STILL have to take an album out of two sleeves, place it on the turntable, clean the album, put the needle down, turn it over half way through, clean it, put the needle down, put it back in two sleeves, then taken a new album out and do the same agonizing ritual all over again. And the thing degrades every time you play it. I did it for years, and I will NOT go back to all that craziness. CD's sound close e-damn-nough and it's so much easier. I sold my albums too many years ago. I have a handful I bought for $1 at a yard sale, but those are for the artwork - I don't even own a turntable.

How can you call yourself rush fan? A fan wouldn't just like the older stuff and just call everything else crap. I mean you act like your opinion is the same as everyone elses and that everything you say is fact. I infact LOVE Snakes and Arrows. Can you even post something that isn't negitive? Just stop trolling and find something better to do with your life. Seriously... Anyway a box set similar to Genesis Box 3 on vinyl would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really want to simulate vinyl? Push your bass levels up to simulate the RIAA amplifier that was necessary to bring back the bass that had to be compressed in order to fit that signal into the grooves! THAT is what people are missing! A little good EQ and even the squirliest sounding CD can have that WARM vinyl sound!!! CD's are WAAAAY better! No noise, no handling with kid gloves, no BS!

I saw Signals once at the local vinyl store but i didn't have 2 bucks to spare. Next week it was gone. Very disappointing. This was months ago too, I still remember it clearly and painfully. I own... CoS, PoW, ATWAS... Wow, no progress at all. This is sad... I do have a ton of Yes Vinyls now however - all the good ones besides Relayer, that is.
