Instead of playing it safe and writing Moving Pictures, Pt. II, Rush replaced their heavy rock of yesteryear with even more modern sounds for 1982's Signals. Synthesizers were now an integral part of the band's sound, and replaced electric guitars as the driving force for almost all the tracks. And more current and easier-to-grasp topics (teen peer pressure, repression, etc.) replaced their trusty old sci-fi-inspired lyrics. While other rock bands suddenly added keyboards to their sound to widen their appeal, Rush gradually merged electronics into their music over the years, so such tracks as the popular MTV video "Subdivisions" did not come as a shock to longtime fans. And Rush didn't forget how to rock out -- "The Analog Kid" and "Digital Man" were some of their most up-tempo compositions in years. The surprise hit, "New World Man," and "Chemistry" combined reggae and rock (begun on 1980's Permanent Waves), "The Weapon" bordered on new wave, the placid "Losing It" featured Ben Mink on electric violin, while the epic closer "Countdown" painted a vivid picture of a space shuttle launch. Signals proved that Rush were successfully adapting to the musical climate of the early '80s.

·       CONDITION:

 

·       RECORD

 

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

 

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►.

 

(b)          The record is believed to come in its original stock inner sleeve.

 

(c)           The record is  apparently pressed on a RELATIVELY  thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type),  vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.

 

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

 

 

·       COVER

 

COVER IS STILL SEALED; HOWEVER, WE ARE UNABLE TO GRADE IT MINT OR NEAR MINT DUE TO FLAWS LISTED BELOW; WE GRADE THIS COVER AS EXCELLENT OR VG++

 

(PLEASE NOTE: THE SHRINK WRAP HAS BEEN SLIT OPEN ALONG ALMOST ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE TOP SIDE; ONLY A TINY SECTION OF ABOUT 1" OF THE SHRINK WRAP REMAINS INTACT; TO PREVENT THE SMALL SECTION FROM SNAPPING OPEN IN TRANSIT, WE HAVE REINFORCED THIS FRAIL SPOT BY PLACING A TINY PIECE OF CLEAR SCOTCH TAPE OVER IT, WHICH CAN BE EASILY REMOVED

-        Cover has a visible wavy ("curly") warp across both panels, front and back, which we GUARANTEE will not affect the record or playing.

 

-        Cover has three corners slightly dinged (nothing significant)

 

-        Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine   (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY)

 

 

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
