@professorfoxtrot The labeling on the packaging states that the sound quality is not be as good as the regular pressing. I nearly bought a picturedisc back in the day (1980s) but decided against it when I read that label. They seem to have more noise/hiss.
One of the great symphonies of our time (OK maybe 1978 is long ago for some but not for me). It beats the crap out of all the MTV-style auto-tune bubblegum crap that kids listen to lately. Music should be made by real musicians with hard-earned talent, not some pubesent tweenie backed by big money and greedy labels. Fuck that, Rush is the real deal! Hemispheres is one of the best albums of the last few decades. (just wish they had chosen a photo without that naked guy standing on a brain)
Spinning vinyl, I remember that, though I haven't seen it in a long time! Ya, I'm old. :) Not seen a spinning Hemispheres picture disc, though. I have one, but I never put it on the turntable. It's strangely hypnotic. La Villa rocks!
kinda weird how the front cover picture would be for side 2 of the album

Picturediscs don't quite have the same sound quality as regular vinyl.

Nice find on the picturedisc! Do you know if it was made from the original Hemispheres stampers?
