Rush v. Dirk, Pratt, & Lerxst

[Orbert]

Ah, so I was right.  Neil knew of both.

[ytserush]

Damn.  It might have been. Did it have every Alex rant from the VT tour?  That was amazing!

Someone compiled them and put them across three discs. Those are a fun listen.

They were a blast to listen to. Now many bands were that professional and that humorous at the same time.

[ytserush]

The problem, and it's not Rush's fault at all, is that I've heard about 30 other versions of Not Fade Away that are EXCELLENT, and I've heard the entirety of the rest of the Rush catalogue, which is better.  IT's not that this is BAD, exactly, but for me it's at best a curiosity.

It's not that good.

Also, The fact that this hasn't seen the light of day in some form since seems to indicate that the band (Or Geddy) likely doesn't believe it's up to snuff either.

Alternatively, who knows where those recordings are and if they are even viable.

None of that matters to me.  It's a Rush track I've never heard before.  They were teenagers at the time.  It is what it is.

Yup. Not many have that combo but he definitely does.

Question for you Rush fans, is there a box vinyl set of all there records out there that you would recommend? Not looking for any special editions just the studio records.

Their albums got CD box sets in the last 15 years but from what I can tell, their albums haven't had a full or partial discography vinyl box set (after a quick search of discogs).

-Marc.

[ReaperKK]

Bummer, thanks for the info. I'm start assembling the records one by one.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Yeah, it's too bad they didn't release the Sector boxsets on vinyl.

Over the years I collected a full set of Rush vinyls and I've been getting all the new 40th anniversary super deluxe editions with vinyl.

[King Postwhore]

Shit. I own albums, 8 track, cassettes,  cd's, gold discs & 20 bit remastered cd's.

Oh. Videos, bottles VCR tapes, DAD'S,  Blu Ray's...

[The Letter M]

[King Postwhore]

Hahaha.

DAD'S.

My poor dad, I killed him playing Rush all the time in his car.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Shit. I own albums, 8 track, cassettes,  cd's, gold discs & 20 bit remastered cd's.

Oh. Videos, bottles VCR tapes, DAD'S,  Blu Ray's...

I mean, yeah I've got all that as well (well not the 8 tracks). When I was in high school, my computer teacher gave me a bunch of bootlegs he had made over the years of Rush shows on VHS. I should dig those out and see if any are worth sharing at some point. If I remember correctly, some of them were really high quality. He was big sound guy and actually worked with Billy Idol and Kiss back in the day. Something to do with audio for their tours, can't remember exactly what he did.

[King Postwhore]

That's very cool.  Back in the day we're going to high-school halls to get bootlegs. I miss those days.

[Zydar]

That's very cool.  Back in the day we're going to high-school halls to get bootlegs. I miss those days.

In the high school halls, in the shopping malls?

[King Postwhore]

Lol High school walls for the boots.  Shopping malls for the album releases.

[Orbert]

Shit. I own albums, 8 track, cassettes,  cd's, gold discs & 20 bit remastered cd's.

I'm still trying to figure out "bottles VCR tapes"

[HOF]

I think he meant “bootleg.”

[Orbert]

But... oh, sorry.  Didn't realize who typed that.

I thought it was a reference to that Rush beer that came out not long ago.

-Marc.

[ytserush]

Bummer, thanks for the info. I'm start assembling the records one by one.

Archives includes the first three on vinyl and there's a German edition that includes the first two albums.

[ytserush]

No commercial cassettes no bottles bobbles or funko, but I with you on the rest.

[ytserush]

Hahaha.

DAD'S.

My poor dad, I killed him playing Rush all the time in his car.

At least you were allowed! Best I could do was Emerson Lake and Palmer.

[ytserush]

That's very cool.  Back in the day we're going to high-school halls to get bootlegs. I miss those days.

I miss the hole in the wall record stores where you'd spend most of the day talking and listening to music.

[ytserush]

Sometimes they would sneak in bootlegs in the mall I visited, but that was frowned upon at best. But that was Alwilk for you. Sometimes there would be long stretches without them.

So did I. Bootlegs I got. Bottles not so much.

I do as well. I could spend hours in a record store

Newbury Street in Boston is all Gucci now, but back in the day, there was about a half dozen hole in the wall used record shops, and also dudes on the sidewalk selling bootlegs and shit. We'd make a day of it every few months.

[King Postwhore]

I used to travel 40 minutes to a record shop in Nashua,  N.H. It was the best shop.  My cousin and I loved that place.

Planet Records in Kenmore Square.  I can remember getting the first three Deep Purple records on vinyl there.

I bought my Let It Rain 12" single b/w Heel Of A Stranger in one of those Newbury Street stores, and I couldn't believe it! I also used to go to the Newbury Comics up there for my t-shirts.

Enjoyed it a lot, more thoughts tomorrow
