Transcript: "Legendary Trio Return To Action With Grace Under Pressure" - Hit Parader, August 1984

Here is a very cool story that appeared in the August 1984 issue of Hit Parader: "Legendary Trio Return To Action With Grace Under Pressure" was written by none other than the B-man, Bill Banasiewicz, three years before he published Visions. What's great is that B-man tells of his visit to Le Studio in early January of 1984, during the recording of Grace Under Pressure. Its a bit like being a fly on the wall, especially when he discusses hearing Alex doing his guitar tracks for hours on end, or when Geddy announced it was "weird sounds weekend...making reference to the fact that they were going to be recording various sound effects for the record...including noise from a television set and steam whistling through a cappuccino machine." - Thanks to Joe Sterle for the original article!
