rush hemispheres great music

I was lucky enough to come across a mint original copy of hemispheres and wow, what a great recording.  Great musicianship and songwriting, amazing drumming.  This album has to be one the greatest rock albums of all time.  It seems to me that rush is one of those rare bands that even though they were progressive and I do prefer their older music, they never sold out.  Great Music!

Yup, the first press UK is particularly stunning but a US Gilbert Kong is nice as well.

After getting on non commercialized Rush albums such as Hemispheres, 2112, it's good to "upgrade" with Vander Graaf Generator and Camel. They're true kings of progressive rock and all of their albums are very interesting. The Can is probably the top level of prog experience.

This is my favorite RUSH album as well :-)  I have an original and a new 180 gram copy, They both sound very good. IMO. I have been listening to this record since its inception, I am amazed how many times Ive purchased it over the years. This was also the soundtrack in high school for me, among many others :-)

1. Hemispheres 2. Farewell to Kings 3. Moving Pictures = essential Rush.

It takes a book tell the best of Prog but I´ll give a clue: Alphataurus, 1973 and Banco´s Darwin! 1972, Japan Editions are superb, the original in good condition are very expensive. Good luck !
