Jag2112 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Nice way to celebrate tax day ... http://news.cygnus-x1.net/2014/03/rush-rediscovered-lp-box-box-set-coming.html
x1yyz Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 When I heard they were going to be reengineering the first album I was really hoping they would surprise us by re-recording it with Neil on drums. It wouldn't take much time—the material is already written, they'd be doing a minimum of overdubs and such, just be in & out of the studio in a week. They are all much better musicians than they were 40 years ago, and while they'd be playing the same notes it would still sound different. I would love to hear that album! 1

Blue J Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I might splurge for this. Not sure, at this point. But I like how they're making it on vinyl, while a CD version is only a possibility. Edited March 1, 2014 by Blue J
The Analog Grownup Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Don't really like the album enough to purchase it. I know, I know, heresy! ;) 1
GeminiRising79 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 So many better ideas out there than this one, ffs.
RushBoingo Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 If they do this for Power Windows next year (or Fly By Night If the price is right) for their anniversaries, they I would definitely pick it up, but I have little interest for the album. It has it's songs, but overall, its meh hard rock. Not counting when I did the Rush Ratings Project, I can't remember the last time I listened to it, or had it on my iPod.
presto123 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Rush retirement fund is alive and well. Put out some new material and I will fork out the cash.

drbirdsong Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 And a happy cranky Sunday morning to youse too. I just pre-ordered it. This will be the best version on vinyl ever so why not? I do wish they had included the first single as a 45 rpm extra, but maybe that will finally appear in a CD boxset when only Alex or Geddy are still alive and in their 90s. If Neil is the last one left he'll probably burn all the master tapes and write a long memoir of his life leaving out any mention of Rush.

RushBoingo Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I just looked at the price, and it's actually not bad, compared to the clockwork Angels deluxe set. Still though, I have some more important things to save for.

Power Windows I'd buy without hesitation.
Smegger68 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Pre-ordered it. I'm such a whore for anything vinyl. But it is DMM and 200g so what the hey....
thizzellewashington Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I'm in. Also, rerecording it with Neil is the actual worst idea I've heard all year. 2
Supersyl Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Hmmmm.... Rush and Abbey Road..... There's a thought! Get your ass out there and record something NEW in that mythical place!! :D-13:
ytserush Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Not overjoyed. Was hoping for more in the rarity column. Maybe the 45 will see its release on record store day. 200 gram vinyl doesn't mean a damn thing unless it was mastered properly and the best available tapes were used. That said, I preordered. I just hope Ray Danniels doesn't release the super limited box with even more goodies six months later.
