@tomic601... no doubt. That album very much captured that era. Interestingly a one off that has stood the test of time. 
@spiritofradio... I really need to get Hold Your Fire on vinyl. Not sure what I haven’t... time to go shopping. I also want to add Robert Plant first two albums...
@geof3 re: Hold Your Fire. Actually SQ not really better on vinyl than the digital. One of the very rare legitimately issued records I’d ever say that about. In fact, I only know about 3. One of the other ones is Pat Metheny “Secret Story”.  

Probably some albums with good production were just recorded with digital in mind. Or the vinyl master wasn’t done well. Not certain - I don’t know much about this stuff and I can’t tell just from listening. 

But, I do know that Rush are very interested in production values. Although I think there choices aren’t really always what I’d like. For example, Permanent Waves was recorded/mixed with a very dry sound, especially the vocals.

Anyway, I’m sort of a Rush completest and have tried a couple of copies of Hold Your Fire. Nice to have the album but the sonics might not impress.
