Rush remasters- thumbs up.

The thread about drummers reminded me of this.
I've been picking up a few of the recently released remasters of classic Rush albums- so far I have "Caress of Steel", "2112", and "A Farewell to Kings". The sound is very good, and the price is usually less than newly released cds. It's been fun "rediscovering" this band, and I recommend these remasters if you like Rush.
For fans who are interested in the meaning of the songs, here's a site with an interesting interpretation:

Did these albums come out on vinyl too?

Farewell to Kings and Caress of Steel on mint, heavy vinyl would be almost enough to make me resurrect my TT, buy a phono preamp, and

Aww, who am I kidding. I'll buy 'em on CD. Thanks for the heads up. The original CDs of both of those albums are lousy.

Unit1865,

I have the 2112 re-master (One of my all time
favorites)and it sounds very good.. Compared
to the older version.

Wasnt there a pretty kick ass drum solo on
one of the older live Rush albums? Maybe
"all the worlds a stage"??? I was thinking
Rush also when i saw that thread...

Voodoochile,

Perhaps you're thinking of "YYZ" on Exit...Stage Left?

Peart's drum solo is "The Rhythym Method". I've heard several variations, best was at their "Roll the Bones" concert at Gund Arena in Cleveland.
