Today's transcript addition is
"Closer To The Heart: A Rush Discography", an extensive history of Rush's album releases published as the
Exit Stage Left tour hit the UK. From the November 1981 issue of UK's
Kerrang! magazine, it was written by journalist John Gill, who eagerly took over as Rush's main supporter at
Sounds magazine when Geoff Barton jumped ship after
Hemispheres (hence labeled "Deaf" Barton in this article). To say that Gill is a fan of the band is an understatement; check out this bold statement, a rarity for the UK press: "Rush didn't simply acknowledge a debt to Zep, they
improved on the influence."
