    Floydianfella
    Great value gathering of their first three albums. Very nice pressing on all three discs with a great soundstage. Cheap as chips at time of writing; what's not to like?
    • VinylWire
      Lovely box set with nice sound quality. Pressings are great too.
      I made a needledrop of one of the tracks from Fly By Night - You can find it on the right side in the videos - Under the name: Rush - By Tor And The Snow Dog (1978 UK Vinyl)
      • That-Retro-Person's avatar
        Three albums for £15 at my local record shop. Very happy to have this. Sound is marvellous. As the other review says, a great way to get the discography of Rush for an affordable price.

          sounds great

          picked up mine for £10

          cant even buy the individual records in good condition for anywhere near that so this is an absolute steal , i miss having the original artwork from the individual records but for the money and quality here i can deal with it

          if you find it cheap like i did - get it . especially if you dont already have any of them - quick and affordable way to build your rush album collection
