PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP $4.00 Media; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.   CANADA ~ 1 LP 8.50; 2 discs $10.00; 3 discs $11.50; over 4 please contact us for shipping costs.   AUSTRALIA, THAILAND, JAPAN ~ 1 LP $18.00; 2 discs $23.00; 3 discs $27.00; 4 discs $32.00.

TOP COPY!

STILL FACTORY SEALED...(NEVER OPENED IN 33 YEARS))

Original 1978 first pressing includes the "4 COLOR POSTER" as offered in the very first pressing ...and the rare POSTER offer sticker is still on the outside of the cellophane wrapper...

Hemispheres is the strongest album Rush had put out by this point in their career and of their best in their entire career. This is Rush at their most progressive as demonstrated by the first half, side long, domination of "Cygnus X-1 Book II" and the second half being featuring 2 slightly more accessible tracks in "Circumstances" and "The Trees" alongside the stunning instrumental "La Villa Strangiato". Even the two accessible tracks see their finest moments via the complex arrangements as opposed to catchy hooks or memorable choruses. Of particular note is Geddy Lee's bass playing to accentuate Neal Peart's always phenomenal drumming and Alex Lifeson's intricate guitar solo's. On Hemispheres Lee's bass parts are at their most acrobatic and flow without effort through the muli-movement pieces on the album.
.

CONDITION: STILL FACTORY SEALED (never opened) and contains, as stated on the sticker on outside of the cellophane, the "4 COLOR POSTER"... a perfect flat and square copy, the only minor thing is that is has a small delete at bottom right...otherwise sharp, with no bends, no writing and no split seams... 

keeper!
