Notes

This is made with the same but different copies of the source for "Castle in the Distance" released from Digital Reproductions. The most part is taken from lower generation copy of this recording I could ever find and this has audience anticipation before '2112' when RUSH crew had been looking for the tape of '2112 intro' (but finally the tape was not played ! - this is very rare document indeed).

Also this low gen. copy has almost entire 'Cinderella Man' performance and this is one another good point. But like "Castle in the Distance", this copy lacks about 1'40" of the middle of 'Cygnus X-1'. On the other hand, there is another lineage copy had circulated on 100 minutes tape instead of most of copies on a 90 minues tape. This one has
almost complete 'Cygnus X-1' instead but generation is much higher than shorter ones (oh well, it means just I could not located low-gen copy). Anyways, I did combine the two different lilneage tapes and then achieved longest and better sounding copy ever I believe (still missing
'Anthem' completely, though).

Enjoy !
