jjgittes Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Old enough to have purchased the debut up thru PW in order. But after that, with money having to go to dumb things like rent and car payments and me losing interest in the "synth era," my purchases took the form of cassette mixes. One of the record store chains here in Los Angeles had the ground-breaking technology of you giving them the songs and they would create the mix for you to pick up a few days later. Some of the MP and Signals cuts ended up on that mix. After that, it is a blur of random purchases. Actually, my last purchase of any music in 2015 was "Icon" in the bargain bin at Best Buy.

Wil1972 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Can't remember exactly, but it was at a time when cassettes and CDs were popular so it was a mix at first as I got into the band - this was just as Presto and then Chronicles came out so good timing for a new fan - but I think it was like this: ChroniclesPrestoExit...Stage LeftMoving Pictures2112Fly by NightCaress of SteelAll the World's a StageA Farewell to KingsPermanent Waves I got Roll the Bones somewhere in there too, when it was released ... SignalsGrace under PressurePower WindowsHold Your FireA Show of HandsRushHemispheres Then every release after that as it was issued... It was something like that. I remember hitting a few suggested high points, then going back chronologically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 All the World's a Stage (About a month after release)Caress of Steel (on the same Columbia House order)2112Archives (I know, but it was the same price as buying Rush and Fly by Night at the time) After those, it was as they were released in order of release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Man, I can't remember. Every one from Power Windows forward on release day. I heard Signals, PeW, and pictures all around the same time. I was 11 or 12. It could have been E..SL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Big brother had Kings, Hemispheres and Permanent Waves. I bought Archives from a buddy, then 2112 and the rest as they happened. All LPs and cassettes until Roll the Bones. I remember being somewhat excited about the new technology, not so much about the album . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you're sayin' is that your brother had all the 70s stuff ? Same here...my brother raised me on large chunks of Fly By Night, 2112, and A Farewell to Kings. Caress of Steel and Hemispheres I didn't hear until a little bit later, for some reason (but not too much later). The first "new" Rush album released after I became a fan was Permanent Waves.

ctbadger Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 My parents more or less refused to buy me rock music for Christmas so I appealed to my grandmother. She bought me cassettes of MP and Signals in either 1982 or 1983. From there P/G (cassette), PoW (vinyl), HYF (vinyl), then HYF & 2112 - my very first CDs. Then every current release on CD after that. I bought Archives and ESL on vinyl and PW on cassette somewhere in there. Not sure exactly when I started to pick up the rest of the back catalog...

HemiBeers Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 lost my Rush virginity to ATWAS, then Moving Pictures, then....it was a blur after that since I got all the pre-1981 material within 6 months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I inherited my older brother's Rush albums, which, at the time, consisted of Rush through A Farewell To Kings (AFtK was the "new record" back then). From there I bought each new album as close to their release dates as finances would allow. I think the last vinyl Rush I bought was p/g. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 "A Farewell to Kings" (at a record store at Shoppingtown Mall in Syracuse, NY) "2112" (the very next day after picking up at a used record store) "All the World's a Stage" (I "borrowed" this from a store about two days later...sorry.) "Archives: Rush / Fly By Night / Caress of Steel" (I bought this late spring/early summer of 1978 (with Genesis "Second's Out") because I was going to work at a camp that summer and wanted some new music to bring with me). "Hemispheres" to "R40" (I purchased each release as they came out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnEggplant Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 1. Roll The Bones - my least favorite Rush album, but it's what my Dad had at the time and it's the first I listened to2. Signals/Moving Pictures - When my Dad found out I liked Roll The Bones (at the time) he got these3. Fly By Night/2112 - I decided I wanted to hear the old Rush, I wasn't disappointed!4. Permanent Waves 5. Caress of Steel6. Hemispheres/A Farewell To Kings7. Grace Under Pressure/Power Windows/Hold Your Fire - I was disappointed mostly, but I've grown to love Grace.8.Test for Echo9. Vapor Trails10. Rush11. Presto12. Counterparts13. Snakes and Arrows14. Clockwork Angels - the first and only album that came out after I was introduced to Rush, and the only one I waited for and bought on release 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
