Rush. Moving Pictures. On original Mercury vinyl from 1981. For SQ and music might be Rush's finest LP, though I hold GUP in close regard.
One of my least favourite Rush albums (I know, burn the heretic!), but still good, though.
"Grace Under Pressure" is much better...

This is the best, just a fact...., listen again to the camera eye and you will know it...

Rush, Power Windows, been a couple of months since I listened to this end to end and what a fin album it is, along with Signals probably the best of the 80s albums in my view. The 2015 24 bit version sounds wonderful too. Pure pleasure courtesty of Canada's best, Audirvana and Hugo

Agreed, the best of the best, and the album, along with Farewell to Kings, that really got me hooked.

Interesting use of the word 'fact'!
I've listened many times, and I stand by my heretical opinion!

Fact just to spice up the conversation, everybody is entitled to have an opinion. I find the first period of Rush the best....later on with more keyboards etc isn't my favorite period...
