Notes
Recorded at Le Studio, Morin-Heights, Quebec, during September and October 1979. Mixed at Trident Studios, Soho, London in November 1979.
On initial pressing the News paper cover that is blowing in the wind reads "Dewei Defeats Truman". On later copies the headline was blanked out. Apparently the Chicago Tribune who erroneously published this headline objected. These early copies also have a much thicker (card) inner sleeve. Later copies had a thin, shiny paper inner sleeve that tore easily.
Marketed by Phonogram.
Made in England

Reviews
-
Variant 4 runouts, thicker inner, Lifeson on right billboard, misprint on B2 and erased headline. -
My copy of this, which I bought on release in 1980, has the headline on the newspaper; Lee, Peart & Lifeson on the billboards; track listing on side 2 is Entre Nous, Between Us, Natural Science; plus the thicker lyric inner sleeve.
-
Nice punchy sound, with terrific clarity & a good 3-D soundstage. Very delineated sound to all instruments, especially The Professors drumkit. Side 2 of this album is why we all love RUSH and this is where the mastering on this pressing really shines. I only wish Lifeson's guitar-solo at the end of 'Different Strings' lasted 10 minutes... -
My copy of this LP also has only Lifeson's name on the billboard.
It also comes with the thicker card lyric inner sleeve.
But mine also has two large gold stars at the top right corner - or do I have the wrong copy/version here? -
My copy of this Album as a miss print on the label ....The 2nd side says that track 2 is called BETWEEN US which is the translation for track 1 ENTRE NOUS it is also mentioned below that saying Lyrics by Neil Peart except Between Us by Geddy Lee.........? Any ideas as its not mentioned on any of the other versions.....?
-
Some versions of the album cover feature Lee, Lifeson and Peart's names on the billboards in the far right. Mine only features Lifeson.
