RUSH
Moving Pictures 40th Anniversary UME What we said: “Fourth record 2112 will always be the cult favourite, but Moving Pictures is Rush’s masterwork – and their biggest seller. The £270 Super Deluxe Edition includes three CDs, one Blu-ray audio disc and five 180g black vinyl LPs – featuring the 2015 Abbey Road remasters (the first time on CD) – plus a 44-page book.

Also included is the Sons Of Satan collection of previously unreleased demos, including some of their earliest known performances. Where would heavy metal be today without them? In a much healthier, less scary place, for sure. And that would be no damn good at all. 10/10.”
