Fly By Night (remastered)

Start a New Chapter: Fly by Night Marks the Debut of Rush's Legendary Lineup and Initial Foray into Prog-Rock, Includes the Title Track and 'Anthem'Sourced from the Original Analog Master Tapes, Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Presents the 1975 Album with Extraordinary Clarity and PresenceNew life ahead, indeed. Fly by Night signifies the beginning of Rush as nearly every fan would come to know it: A potent band comprised of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart. Recorded only four months after Mercury picked up the band's eponymous debut for international distribution and distinguished by the piercing yellow eyes of the owl on it's illustrated cover art, the 1975 album hints at the ambitious pursuits, emotional contrasts, heady complexities, and involved storytelling that soon became trademarks of the Canadian trio.Sourced from the original analog master tapes and housed in mini-LP-style packaging, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD presents the group's platinum-certified sophomore effort in audiophile sound. All the better for an album that Rush found satisfying to make with the same person (Terry Brown) and at the very studio (Toronto Sound) the group turned to rescue it's debut from a host of production shortcomings. The kinship between Brown and the band is evident in how coherent everything sounds and feels. Witness the instrumental detail, body, size, and separation - conveyed here with exceptional realism and presence. Soundstaging dimensionality, imaging accuracy, and frequency extension also benefit from the sonic restoration. With Fly by Night, Rush starts a new chapter, doing the best it can.Numbered Hybrid Stereo SACDNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITION
