About this album
A classic rock album, Moving Pictures became the band’s biggest selling album in the U.S., hitting #3, and remains the band’s most popular studio recording to date (certified quadruple-platinum with four million copies sold on January 27, 1995).
Following the formula of their previous album, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures follows a more radio-friendly format and includes the hit single “Tom Sawyer”, as well as radio standards “Red Barchetta” and “Limelight”.
Moving Pictures was the second Rush album listed in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
Background
Work on the album began in August 1980 at Stony Lake, Ontario. “The Camera Eye” was the first to be written, followed by “Tom Sawyer,” “Red Barchetta,” “YYZ”, and “Limelight.” “Tom Sawyer” grew from a melody that Lee had been using to set up his synthesizers at sound checks.
At Phase One studios with producer Terry Brown, they began recording demos. “Tom Sawyer” and “Limelight” were polished in October by playing them live on a warm-up tour (although both songs had slightly different arrangements on the album than were played on the tour), and then they started the main recording at Le Studio in Quebec. “Red Barchetta” was recorded in one take, while others took many. There were problems with equipment failures and they finished three days behind schedule.

It's not a one man show. Every one of them is important to the Rush sound equally. Well, maybe Geddy a bit more than the others since he plays bass, keyboard AND sings.
