Title: This CD + Different Stages = Great start for new Rush fans
Product review: Tough to complain about the song selection here-- Serious Rush fans always differ on what their best material is, but these are all excellent tracks. If you enjoy these, then by all means dive deeper into the Rush catalog.As for the complaints that the release isn't necessary or that Rush is "cashing in" - These tracks fall under an earlier Rush record deal. The band had little to do with the decision; this was a record company choice according to recent comments from Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee.I any event- any vehicle that can attract new fans to Rush is fine by me. The re-mastered Retrospectives set is also excellent- as is the live Different Stages CD set. I'd avoid "Chronicles" (the audio CDs, not the DVD) as it is not the product of the excellent remastering efforts. Also, the Chronicles essay/liner notes and artwork are sub-par.
