Rush - A Farewell to Kings. 1977 Canada-Ontario


Rush's 5th studio album A Farewell to Kings represents core music from my adolescent years. Hard to imagine the needle moving much by this point. It's an excellent album that will always be, never to improve or to decline. 'Cygnus X-1' remains my favorite of a great set of tunes.


Ownership: LP: 198? Mercury (Netherlands). Gatefold with lyrics in the centerpiece. Missing the insert. Recent pickup from a local record store. Apparently it's a later press. My first copy goes way back to 1979 when I bought the commodity LP new at a retail discount store. I replaced that dogeared copy with the commodity CD, which in turn is being supplemented by this LP.

CD: 1997 Mercury. Remastered and little else. But OK, I'll keep it.
