I never dumped anything, regardless of media. Back in the early 90s I was focused on raising a family so all music took a back seat, except Rush concerts. I didn't buy much music, CD or LP, but everything sat in boxes. I never really knew about going to a record store and trading or selling my stuff.....I'm so glad I didn't do that!! 

I have all my records that I bought as a kid and teen, some although were lost in a couple house moves but I have replaced almost all of them.

I never had a lot of vinyl...but I did have a sh*t-ton of cassette and VHS tapes. Some of them are worth some money now, especially the Varèse Sarabande soundtracks, many of which I upgraded to CD, but still...

The '90s were all about buying CDs by the bazillion new prog bands crawling out of the woodwork in North & South America, Europe and Japan. Big smile
I have a ton of cassettes, both albums and mix tapes I made. All the mix tapes are on chrome II or metal type IV but they are in boxes in storage and I really need to find them. All of them are in cassette cases so I am hoping they are in good shape still, but as you know tape can stick together after so many years, I don't think you can bake them like you can reel to reel tapes due to the plastic cases....

When I find them all and if in good shape I may have to buy a cassette deck again.....

The standard 3CD box will suffice for me. 300 bucks is nuts. You guys can have the enamel pins, metal picks and replica tickets.

Dude!!! You get a Red Barchetta in the deluxe set....WTH man, that itself is worth the price of admission Clap.

Like I said, I'm not one of these deluxe box set buyers. The last one I was thinking of was Prince~Sign O the Times, that one was $300 and came with like 11 records but nothing more really. I did not get it.......Look at the Beatles whackos who spend $500 on those box sets that have been reissued like 100x already. LOL

There are some of these box sets that will never be in print again....but again this is Rush.

It IS a really nice boxset, but I bought the big Thin Lizzy box, the Triumph Allied Forces box, and the two big recent Tangerine Dream boxsets, and while they didn't come with such extravagances, they also cost a lot less. I need to cool it. LOL

For the most part I think lyrics were written first, at least very rough drafts. Music followed by Geddy and Alex and in some rare cases music by Geddy and Neil, maybe just laying down a simple groove. Lyrics were edited based on how Geddy felt about them, he has said many times for him to sing about it he needed to feel it. It seems Neil was very open to adjusting his lyrics to suit Geddy singing them.

Thanks I'd forgotten about this film.   The compositions seem to emerge from a sort of slow-simmering soup they each contribute to until something worthy starts to show itself.   Very interesting.

Pre-ordered already......I'm not a CD guy but I did the big box set due to all the stuff you get. Just the hardback book is probably worth $50, the records are worth $100 so it made sense to me. Most of these deluxe type box sets don't make a lot of sense to me......but hey, it's Rush!!
I am kind of feeling the same way. Not sure I can pull the trigger on the big box set...but I am at least very tempted.  

Send me your credit card info, I'll pull the trigger for you.......Thumbs Up
