Rush is definitely on my top 5 favorite rocks bands, and definitely my favorite Prog band. To me, Permanent Waves is their most rounded "traditional" album. Moving Pictures is good, but it runs into the MGMT effect where it gets you with all the best songs off the bat, leaving a comparatively boring B-side. And 2112 is just an entirely different beast that can't be discussed alongside their "traditional" albums. It could also be my biases as Spirit of the Radio and Freewill are my favorite Rush singles.
This is a 2015 reprint, although I did scoop up an original a few months ago. Honestly i don't notice much difference between the two. 180g vinyls really are solid records so long as they are mastered and pressed well.
