Media type: LP

Rush’s 1981 album Moving Pictures is being reissued for its (belated) 40th anniversary in April.

The album was recorded in Quebec’s Le Studio and saw the band continue down the route of shorter, more radio friendly songs. Longtime producer Terry Brown was back for what was the band’s eighth studio album.

Moving Pictures features the singles ‘Tom Sawyer’, ‘Limelight’ and ‘Vital Signs’, although they weren’t all issued in all territories. As with the previous reissue, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures 40 boasts revised front cover artwork on the front of the various packages (although the vinyl albums in the box sets retain the original).

The 40th anniversary reissue is available as a 3CD deluxe, a 5LP vinyl box set and a full bells and whistles eight-disc super deluxe which combines CD, vinyl and adds a blu-ray. The sets with CDs include the 2015 remastering on CD for the first time (it was previously only available on vinyl and digital).
