Rush
Moving Pictures is the eighth studio album by
Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1981. The
album was recorded and mixed at Le Studio, Morin
Heights, Quebec.
A classic rock album, Moving Pictures became the
band's biggest selling album in the U.S., hitting #3,
and remains the band's most popular studio
recording to date (certified quadruple-platinum with
four million copies sold on January 27, 1995).
Following the formula of their previous album,
Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures follows a more
radio-friendly format and includes the hit single
"Tom Sawyer", as well as other radio standards
such as "Red Barchetta" and "Limelight".
Work on the album began in August 1980 at Stony
Lake, Ontario. "The Camera Eye" was the first to be
written, followed by "Tom Sawyer," "Red Barchetta,"
"YYZ", and "Limelight." "Tom Sawyer" grew from a
melody that Lee had been using to set up his
synthesizers at sound checks.
At Phase One studios with producer Terry Brown,
they began recording demos. "Tom Sawyer" and
"Limelight" were polished in October by playing
them live on a warm-up tour (although both songs
had slightly different arrangements on the album
than were played on the tour), and then they
started the main recording at Le Studio in Quebec.
