In my opinion Presto and Counterparts is two of Rush's greatest albums. They are definitely two of my personal favorites. Great box set Darcy take care brother.🙂🍻🤘
Hi Darcy!!! had no idea about this new Rush boxset, but i think it's a must have to any diehard fan...... i don't know how they do it, but all of their latest anniversary reissues are near perfect, very well done, cool packaging and extras too, like those alternative artwork covers. This must be the standard to any future special edition done by any "important" band..... cheers and be well
I know right! Presto & Roll The Bones are my favourite of the reimagined artwork. Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Great video showcasing one of the greatest bands ever. I was on the fence as you know, but now I’m just about convinced. lol. Prints look great, I have originals of presto and bones, inserts are the same I’m 99% sure but the center labels aren’t. I don’t have counterparts or test for echo. . Thanks brother, and your ranking is my ranking of the 4, with presto out in front by alot, great record. Stay well friend. 🤘
Hello Darcy 👋 nice unboxing and review video 👍 very complete and well done 👌. I also have recently started a vinyl collection of Rush legacy, listening more deeply their music. The 40th anniversary releases of their main albums are very good editions, even if the super deluxe boxsets are mostly expensive. Well I bought the 5 LP boxset of Moving Pictures and I’m waiting for the super deluxe boxset of Permanent Waves from USA 😁🤙. Great stuff ! I just received my boxset of those 4 albums from Rhino and I enjoy it fully like you. Even if I would appreciate a few pages book with it, of some informations and photos, and that the illustration artwork would be directly printed on the box rather than a glued sheet. Whatever it’s a wonderful boxset and nice new artworks, plus the enjoyable music on vinyl 🤘. I consider Rush and Dream Theater as the two greatest progressive metal/hard rock bands. By the way Rhino also released a similar boxset of the 4 first DT albums a few months ago (also in my collection 😁😅). Two others volumes are planned for 2025. Thanks for your super channel 👌. Have a nice day ! Greetings from France 👋🤘
Thanks for the kind words & awesome comment 😊 You’re right! A few page booklet would have been nice. I’m just hoping for a second box with the balance of The Atlantic Years 2002-2007. Thanks again 🤘 Cheers from Canada
The reimagined artwork looks incredible, especially for 'Roll the Bones' with the little boy sitting on top of the dice! "Show Don't Tell" was on the radio a couple of days ago and it's still a dang great song! The 'Presto' album holds up well.
The reimagined artwork for Roll The Bones & Presto are my favourites. I think all 4 albums hold up really well, but Presto is definitely the front runner. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🤘 Cheers from Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Yeah, the reimagined artwork for 'Presto' and 'Roll the Bones' are my favorite too! I don't own 'Test for Echo,' but I really enjoy the other three albums. Cheers to you, as well!
I´m more like a 70s Rush guy, I could never get into their 80 records. They got better again in the 90s and 2000s. BUT: For some strange reason "Counterparts" is my fave Rush album of all time. Those reissues of "Presto" and "Roll the Bones" look like the original pressings, same inners and same center lables. I had those two on vinyl but sold them not too long ago. Trust me, I got a good price for those, hahaha... For the whole week I had "All the World´s a Stage" on in the car, that will be changed tomorrow to Scorpions "Tokio Tapes".
I think you told me that before about Counterparts being your favourite Rush album. I listen to that set twice in full, now I’ve switched gears to some German Metal. Listening to Brainstorm Scary Creatures, goes good with my 9 ounces of red wine 🍷 Cheers brother
I’m very pleased with this boxset. I have original Presto and Roll the Bones. But I have been looking for Counterparts and Test for Echo as they are incredibly expensive. The new vinyl sounds amazing. As good or better than the originals. The biggest surprise to me was how much I enjoyed Test for Echo because it was always one of my least favorite Rush albums. Very happy!
I’m that way too Doug! I’ve had the cassette & cd for years, but as soon as that vinyl comes in it’s like a whole new experience lol. Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Rush was a part of my life, bought the original vinyl from Rush the debut and later some on cd. That box looks awesome! Their performance on Pinkpop in Holland was unforgettable. So good to hear your enthousiasme about these boxes. Love Canadian bands, in those days Rush, Triumph, Max Webster, Goddo. Last week I saw Mystery a progrock band and they were so good!
@@hermangeritz So many great bands have come out of Canada, but Rush have always led the way for me. They’re an incredible live band that’s for sure! Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Herman
Hey Darcy. Great video. I just ordered that myself 2 days ago! Great ranking. My mini ranking would be. 1) Counterparts 2) Test For Echo 3) Presto 4) Roll The Bones I ranked them in that order due to more guitars. I'm with you on getting the other albums that followed. Cheers
Thanks Bobby 🤘 I should’ve explained it better in the video, The Atlantic Studio Albums 1989-2007 was a cd box set only. Good to see they are putting them out on vinyl, probably doing two parts to keep the cost down. Bring on 2002-2007 :))
Nice video and box set. Thank you. I’m only missing Roll The Bones and Counterparts from the 2015 Analog Production QRP pressings. 😢. Hoping that these would get individual releases also. This 180 and 200 gram thing is a bit of a marketing ploy to me. It’s more about the mastering and pressing quality, but those heavier records do feel nicer in hand from the thiner flimzy ones.
Definitely a marketing ploy & the leading cause of seam splits lol. I’m pretty sure you’ll see these get released individually, also a second vinyl set with 2002 to 2007 I’m sure will happen. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
@@sixzerothreeonesevensixnine I have some wall space left, I just don’t want things looking too cluttered. I might need an opinion from a picky bastard, do you know anybody that can help 😂
I’m sorry to hear that! I’ve always said the records should be shipped outside the jacket, I wouldn’t even care if the box had shrink wrap, just as long as the jackets were in good condition. thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
@@jch5150 Like I said they sound good to my ears, unfortunately I don’t have any originals to compare them to. Also, like I said in the video they sound just as good as the 2015’s & and possibly better than The Rush Remasters cds, although maybe that’s me convincing myself they sound better because they are on vinyl lol. Regardless this is a winning set for any rush fanatic 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Very nice boxset. Unfortunately it is not released in Europe as far as I know. So it is not available to order at any of my usual stores, if it was I would have had it by now. I’ve got an OG of Presto pressed in Germany. Innersleve looks the same, but center ring is the orange Atlantic one. Take care!🤘
I never got rush growing up in the 80’s/90’s but after my father passed away in 2016 I need something new to listen to so went and picked up most rush CDs. missing three I think. Test for echo not the best but I think the song Test for echo is amazing. But to be honest it’s a band that does what they want and fans enjoy arguing about what albums are the best. Did you watch Marty Allen and Phil on Canadian metal on Friday?
@@mdkmckee2937 I was invited on that episode with the guys & Philip, but I was going to King Diamond. So after that was canceled it kind of open the door for my wife to make other plans for us. I didn’t want to become 6Strings8Lives, you know what saying 😂
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 totally get that brother lol, sucks king canceled Calgary and few more dates but he’s rescheduling Calgary so I’m saving up to hit that up in the future. Dad was the best got me into Judas Priest old best of with the robots on the cover when I was 10 the ripper got me hooked. And sorry to hear about your father. If you haven’t you should check out a Saskatoon band untimely demise kind of sounds like death and megadeth great thrash/death
My philosophy has been everything will get re-issued eventually. So far it’s worked out, plus I have Official phobia of anything Unofficial 😂 Cheers Steve
Really pissed, ordered mine from Rush Backstage, arrived yesterday here in the Uk, but Test for Echo has the first disc duplicated (no disc 2 sides C & D) I contacted them, but because it’s sold out, they can only offer a refund 😔
Oh man!! What a piss off, I feel bad for you. I know it sucks to send something back, but maybe take the refund, there are still some available at Rhino Records Shop. Not sure what you should do, I just want it to work out for you 🤘 Cheers from Canada
It was a few years back, The Atlantic Years Studio Albums 1989-2007. That set includes all 7 Atlantic studio albums, 6 studio & 1 covers album. It’s a good set for the price 👍
Power Windows to Roll the Bones was myleast favorite period of Rush i really disliked the synth years,they grew on me eventually though.Still never missed a show since 79
@@johnord684 So cool to hear you didn’t miss a show since ‘79, that’s a streak to be proud of! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🤘 Cheers from Canada

What an incredible run they had! I love how they changed things up every decade, true legends! Have a good weekend 🤘 Cheers Andrew

I grew up near Cleveland, Rush was huge! 2 of the best things to come from Canada is Rush and this channel.
Wow! That’s one of the nicest comments I’ve ever got, much appreciated. Couldn’t do it without you 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
