Rush albums sound quality

I was at one time a big Rush fan circa Moving Pictures, Grace Under Pressure, Signals etc. The major problem with them as a recording group was the high degree to which the band's recordings were compressed. As a recording engineer I can say that they were at least at a 3:1 ratio upon mastering by listening alone. This quite effectively cut the highs and lost much of the dynamic punch between the drums and bass, which in fact were fabulous when you saw and heard them play live (I did twice). Blame Lee, their engineers and their producers (I did and still do).

Anyone know if the Rush SACD's ever came out?

Were they supposed to?

That's good news boldstrummer. I'll be seeing the latest concert next Saturday at the Tweeter Center just south of Chicago. Alex' court date is after this concert so I won't have to worry about him being in the clink.
I'm pretty sure I'll get to party with the band afterwards. I e-mailed with suggestions for better sound quality and bringing Alex to the forefront of the mix. My chances to meet with the band are about 1 in 50,000 so I'm pretty hopeful. It's my best chance yet.
