Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0044006333526 Format: Original recording remastered Label: Island / Mercury Manufacturer: Island / Mercury MPN: 063335 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Island / Mercury Release Date: February 11, 2003 Studio: Island / Mercury Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Though not their first-ever career survey, Rush's Spirit of Radio compilation is an ideal point of entry for newbie fans or anyone who consistently likes the Rush songs most often heard on commercial radio. While 1990's Chronicles set was more encompassing--including tracks beyond Spirit of Radio's '87 cut-off point--the Canadian prog-rock trio's benchmark moments are represented among these 16 songs. Hence the appearance of "Closer to the Heart," "Tom Sawyer," "New World Man," "Time Stand Still," "Fly by Night," "Subdivisions," and the title track. --Kim Hughes Album Description: Japanese edition of 2003 compilation includes an exclusive bonus disc with two tracks, 'What You're Doing' (Live) & 'A Passage To Bangkok' (Live). 18 tracks. Atlantic. Album Details: Japanese Version featuring a Two Track Bonus CD with "What You're Doing (Live)", and "a Passage to Bangkok (Live)", which were Omitted from the Live Release 'all the World's a Stage'. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A good compilation of hitsIf you want to go out and buy a cd that hits the radio friendly highlights from Rush, then you can't go wrong with "The Spirit of Radio", a compilation which spans 1974-1987. It's a great way to have one disc you can pop in your player and have a good time with Rush, and can easily be considered a great starting point to any of you who have not heard Rush. From an experienced fan, I'd say the disc is definitely representative of their work, but leaves alot left to be explored. I understand that ...

The Rush from the 70's and 80's is an example of creativity, passion and variety, and is just one cd with 16 essential songs. Rating: - Pure geniusI couldn't stand Rush back in the 70s but now listening to them, I have to wonder what I was smoking back then. Fantastic guitar work and the bass - no wonder I always thought there were more in the band, he plays it like a regular guitar. If you download it into your iPod or MP3, there are only a couple of songs I'd delete which should have been allowed to die a quiet death. That said, be sure to listen to the less well-known songs at the back of the CD, pure genius. Rating: - adrenalene surge what can i say about this band that hasn't already been said,this is the greatest band canada has ever produced,and arguably,the greatest rock band the world has ever seen.this collection,has all the rush classics on here,such as working man,fly by night,spirit of radio,tom sawyer,red barchetta,subdivisions,etc.a must have for any rush fan,and for those who aren't.great cd. Rating: - if you are a semi Rush fan....If you are looking for some of Rush's best's song here they are. there are so many more but it is a very good CD.I would recommend it very much as a 1st Rush CD or just a very good CD to keep in your car if you are "jonesing" for some good music. |
