FWIT I’ve run into Aldridge in Montecito at Starbucks. That’s about the only thing in that town I can afford

Hah!  My wife and I met in SB. Lived in a succession of funky rooms and shacks. Left in ’83, seeking a more affordable locale. I retain many fond memories of living in SB, beginning in ’76. For music-lovers, it was truly a paradise! 

 

@yyzsantabarbara I just received Moving Pictures vinyl. It’s a reissue but states the following…

180g Vinyl Reissue Pressed at Quality Record Pressings!

Direct Metal Mastered from Original Analog Masters at Abbey Road Studios!

I’m pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. I do find that Rush recordings are light on bass. It’s focused more on showing Geddy Lee’s skills rather than the chest thumping bass. I don’t think my system is lacking in bass delivery but this is purely just tuneful playing of the instrument.
