RUSH - Japanese Mini-LP Reissues Due In June
April 5, 2009, 15 years ago
RUSH fan-site Power Windows. is reporting:
Coming this June, Warner Music Japan will be reissuing Rush's first 12 studio albums as Mini-LP SHM-CD's. Although the data itself is not remastered, these "super high material" cd's purportedly improve the original audio through the use of new plastic material which is much clearer than normal cd's, thus reducing mechanical distortion and improving resolution. There are already some detrators to this technology, however.
Rush fan Jun'ya Suzuki of the Japanese Rush collector site The Sphere is working with Warner Music Japan to faithfully reproduce the artwork of the original first edition Canadian LPs (i.e., the debut album has the red cover, etc.). Only the first 12 studio albums will be released at this time, with future releases dependent on actual sales.
