Retrospective, Vol.
1 (1974-1980) was designed to replace the double-disc set Chronicles, and it is, in fact, a better compilation than its predecessor.
By concentrating on Rush's earliest albums -- from 1974's Rush to 1980's Permanent Waves -- the album draws an excellent portrait of the group's artiest work, leaving their hard rock radio hits for Retrospective, Vol.
2.
Meanwhile, Vol.
1 contains nearly all of the highlights from their '70s albums, including "Closer to the Heart" and "Fly by Night," making it a nearly flawless encapsulation of their early career.
