Rush – Moving Pictures

Like everyone else, I finally bought this (on sale at Amazon) for the live material which is as good as d.

In general, like Permanent Waves, this is the way to re-release legacy albums; provide a great live showcase or unreleased material. Well done.

Vinyl for the live stuff sounds great. My overall pressing was excellent including the core album which shows no signs of warping.

Live set aside…(its what Exit Stage Left should have been)
My Canadian first press has far better presence.
Nice fully rounded dynamics.
It might struggle with surface noise a bit but the oomph is there unlike the wonderful but more shimmery reissue. Its beautiful, but much brighter.
Get it none the less.
I’m being a bit nit-picky.

Live material is absolutely staggering, elite level incredible material. Wow!!! Vinyl sounds excellent. Already have an original Moving Pictures and the 2015 so don’t need that but get this for the live stuff. A great companion to Exit Stage Left.

I think I have six different versions of moving pictures they all sound great but I think this one's just a little bit louder my original RL copy is great comparison and a highs so much better have no issues all five LPS were in great shape maybe a little bit of sound in between definitely worth buying great sound all around and I'm very picky

My LP of the album is extremely warped. The live discs are nice and flat, so I hate to return it but it is boxed up and waiting to be picked up. Can't keep an Anniversary Edition of an album and not be able to listen to the actual album.

Finally had a chance to sit down and do a listening session to compare the remastered studio album to my OG. The difference is not subtle. The OG blows the remaster out of the water. It's not even close. Note: I, along with many others bought this for the live content and it is incredible! Absolutely fantastic! 416 YYZ baby!

An exquisite reissue of the undoubtedly best album of this incredible band. The Box Set is wonderful, very careful but without excesses; all in its proper measure. The quality of the pressing is very good. High quality edition essential on the shelf of any Rush fan.

This is actually a 5 lp set, not 4 as the information at the top of this page states.

Rush was on top form at this time. Happily the mastering and pressing do not let the side down. Though there is a bit of warp on all lps, it is minor in my case and not enough to affect play. The live set (which is what most first edition types would be here for) is excellent, if somewhat manic and breathless, and the recording is distortion-free, although the soundstage is not as huge as one might imagine. The sound has a fair bit of detail but bass is a touch thin and not as chunky as would be ideal. Nevertheless, these are nitpicking points - if you are a Rush fan wanting a live set with the band in top form, this is for sure worth getting.

My Box arrived today (amazon , only 14 left on time of ordering 2 days ago, now just 1 left) and there is absolutely nothing to complain about (CZECH REPUBLIC-Sticker). I like the glossy pictures within the matte background and all vinyls are absolutely flat and wihtout any complaints. Heard this album a thousand times and still excited like a child to open this box! :-) Great Soundstage on my Philips Black Tulip Set from '81 with 200W AH495 Speakers and the golden GP412 Pickup with original elliptical Stylus.

My copy arrived yesterday, in excellent packaging. Records are clean and flat, without exception.
