The following is wikipedia info regarding Rush Caress of Steel.
Caress of Steel is the third studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1975. The album shows more of Rush's adherence to the hard rock and progressive rock styles of the band's first two albums. Long pieces, pieces broken up into parts, and solo passages of speed and agility are all included. The album is often considered notable for the inclusion of the band's first two epic pieces, "The Necromancer", and "The Fountain of Lamneth"; the latter runs nearly 20 minutes total and comprised the whole of side two of the original vinyl release.
Intended to be Rush's breakthrough album, it sold fewer copies than their previous record and was considered a disappointment by their record company. The subsequent tour became known by the band as the "Down the Tubes" tour, as they feared the album's poor sales, which led to sparse crowds at the shows, might mean the end of their career. Geddy Lee admitted in the RUSH documentary that he thought the band was "pretty high" during the making of this album.
The album was certified Gold by the RIAA in 1993. The next year's follow-up album, 2112 would pave the way for Rush's commercial success with its own 21-minute epic.
Originally, the album cover was supposed to be in silver hue to give it a "steel" appearance. A printing error resulted in a copper color for the album cover.
Some cassette printings of this album had "Didacts and Narpets" and "I Think I'm Going Bald" switch places (possibly because of cassette tape length and to balance out both sides), and all of the movements of "The Fountain of Lamneth" listed as separate songs.

"Bastille Day"
Rush's Led Zeppelin influence is still prominent on this record, most obviously in the song "Bastille Day" (which discusses the storming of the Bastille in the French Revolution), though it is apparent on all three of the shorter songs on the album. "Bastille Day" reappeared on the "R30" CD and DVD as part of the instrumental R30 Overture. Reportedly, Dream Theater's core members John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy and John Myung named the first incarnation of the band Majesty after a comment by Portnoy suggesting this song's ending was "majestic".
"I Think I'm Going Bald"
"I Think I'm Going Bald" was written for Canadian rocker Kim Mitchell, who at the time was the frontman of the band Max Webster and a close friend of the members of Rush. It is also stated in the book Contents Under Pressure, that the song "I Think I'm Going Bald" was written as a homage to KISS' "Goin' Blind".
