There’s a new RUSH CD in stores. It’s called “The Spirit of Radio” and it contains a bonus DVD of material.
“Well,” says I, a RUSH fan of no small degree, “It must be mine!”
I knew I already had access to all the tracks on the album. I knew it was another attempt from Mercury records to milk all the money they could out of RUSH fans. But, the CD was cheap and it had a DVD of bonus materials.
Yes, indeed it did.
The DVD is an advertisement for RUSH: CHRONICLES, the DVD many RUSH fans already own. It contains videos for Closer to the Heart, Tom Sawyer, Subdivisions, and Mystic Rhythms. In other words, if you already have CHRONICLES, you already have everything that’s on the DVD.
DO NOT – I REPEAT – DO NOT BUY THIS NEW CD. YOU ALREADY OWN EVERYTHING THAT’S ON IT.
(On the other hand, if you want to give it as a gift to a non-RUSH fan, to show them what’s up, it does have some tasty tracks on it. Some of the boys’ more “radio friendly” stuff.)
RUSH fans, I have suffered for your sins.
And there is no return policy on CDs.
