Text For Echo Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Permanent Waves was released on 01/01/80, and though Xanadu is a 70's song, I'm referring to the ESL version, which is an 80's album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Why does everybody keep saying PW is a 70's album? If it was released in the 80's it's an 80's album in my book.It was recorded in the 1970s and the first song releases from the album were made in the 70s. How could people hear a 1980s album in the 1970s? You mean how could people hear a 1980's record in the 70's? :P Where did you get that the first releases were made in the 70's? Give me a date.

Na na na Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It doesn't matter if The Spirit Of Radio was released as a single in 1979. The album was released in 1980, you couldn't by the album in 1979. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album was released in 1980, you couldn't by the album in 1979. It could have been released in 1979. It was a done deal probably long before new year's eve 1979. Waiting until Jan. 1 to release it was the result of a "silly whim" . . . 70s album. Late 70s, sure, but still 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) I just say whatever decade makes you feel comfortable. If the idea of permanent waves as an 80's album makes you want to make endless topics on it......then it's a 70's album.

Give me a date.Don't have an exact date (not that it matters) but Promotional 12-inch copies were released in the United States late 1979 with the B-sides of "Working Man" and "The Trees", and the song being incorrectly titled "The Spirit of the Radio" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spirit_of_Radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could people hear a 1980s album in the 1970s? Maybe you know more than me, but it says at WIKI that all the singles were released in 1980. They didn't start writing the record until July 79. Came out Jan. 80. That is an 80's record. Even style says 80's to me. After all the weirdness that was their 70's catalog, suddenly this one screamed "airplay" and mainstream. By Rush standards at least. https://en.wikipedia...Permanent_Waves http://www.discogs.com/Rush-Spirit-Of-Radio/release/584714I may be old and losing my memory but somehow I recall going to a Permanent Waves tour show and hearing a bunch of Permanent Waves songs pretty well before 1980. I could be wrong though. It was at the Capital Centre in Landover MD if anyone wants to double check for me... :codger: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) I didn't know this, about Lifeson's initial reaction to finishing the record: ‘Permanent Waves’ earned Rush new hoards of fans, even converting some of their harshest critics. But Lifeson himself wasn’t engaged by the album at first.“I went through a period where I couldn’t listen to the album,” the guitarist told ‘Music Express.’ “I was really disappointed. It didn’t seem like there was anything new or fresh about the album. We had written the material last summer, had performed three of the songs onstage and had spent a couple of months in recording. By the time we had finished, we were getting tired of the material. It wasn’t at all like ‘Hemispheres,’ which was written two weeks before we recorded it.“I was really bluesed out about the whole thing,” he continued. “‘Jacob’s Ladder’ seemed to be a typical Rush song, a rehash of something we’d done in the past. But then I started hearing the album on the radio, and I thought ‘Wow, this sounds great.’ Then I realized I had over-reacted to the album and that I had been overly-critical of small insignificant things that hadn’t affected the overall effect of the record.” Edited October 10, 2015 by toymaker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It's hard to fathom. Every moment of Permanent Waves is pretty much glorious to my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
