Very sweet first album. Their playing is shy on the extreme virtuosity that the years would grant them, but it has a tremendous energy and Geddy's vocals are WILD! Nice sound from this '74 Mercury too. I can't possibly get my mind around the idea that 40 years have passed...

AGREED! I think maybe Hemispheres, A Farewell to Kings, and Moving Pictures are my favorites. Thought about getting reissues but these all sound great.

There was a band called Pavlov's Dog with a singer that sounded liked Geddy Lee at his most wild. :-)

Thanks for remembering Pavlov's Dog, a criminally underrated group from the mid 70's - a rare American band that combined prog with pop, kind of like Strawbs during that period (and I mean that as a compliment). However, I never thought that they sounded anything like Rush so am somewhat puzzled by your reference. The band is still active, occasionally, and David Surkamp, the wonderfully talented singer/composer, is vital in the St Louis rock scene.
