Your favourite Rush albums?

I was a big Rush fan up to Moving Pictures.

My period presses up to Moving Pictures come out now and then. 2112 is difficult to listen to at low volume still, after 43 years.

IMO Moving Pictures,if you have a clean period press, is a demo, show off your system album.

Rush should never be listened to,unless on a proper turntable.

The Rush cover album, Feedback is a good listen. Their choice in songs are great.

Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues" is crank worthy.

MP was around  the time R&R was seriously changing. The Gods were becoming unfashionable, while  MTV was the new rule.

This is a little off topic.

Being a period press freak, can anyone share their "stamper" info on Moving Pictures?

My copy is quite good. The build up on "The Camera Eye" and the assault  of "YYZ" will test any system.

I'm wondering if a Canadian or US press is the most desired among the dedicated anti reissue among us. I know were are a minority.

What's in the deadwax? It's not an absolute marker  for "best" but, a good reference  point.

Picked up a major score while bin diving.

1974 debut. Not the elusive Moon first press, but the 1st run Mercury, which is just as tough to find. My copy that it is replacing was a mess. This one is in fine condition.
