Rush - Permanent Waves

Played this after watching a YouTube video about the album and it revealed an interesting fact about the LP that I didn't know. For a time after the album was released, Neil became aware of fans criticising Geddy for his live performances of Freewill. They were accusing him of singing the wrong lyrics. Neil dismissed them, amused that they could ever think that the band would make such a mistake with their own music. It turns out that, in the US, the liner with the lyrics on were printed with an incorrect line for the song.
My interest piqued, I decided to play the LP and check my copy. Sure enough, the misprint is there on my UK first pressing too:

If you choose not to decide
You cannot have made a choice

I would think that in terms of rarity value it is of little or no significance, unlike the unredacted "Dewey defeats Truman" front covers out there. Interesting nevertheless.

Quote from: Thenop on May 01, 2024, 06:20:11 PMYes, so on with the bag search, and I found one (I am very picky), but it's only sold in the USA. Ughh. My wife (who by now was sick of hearing me talk about a bag - normal housholds have reversed discussions I am told) uttered: "just buy the damn thing".
So I did, but before I did I had a clear moment and Googled "discount code Kodiak leather". Found 3 of them, 30 & 20% did not work, but the 15% did! So, had a 15% discount the bag I wanted.

All of this is a pre cursor to another rant how sh!t UPS is in delivering I am sure, but I am savouring this moment.

Don't know what you're looking for exactly, but I recently bought my sister a leather backpack from www.mahileather.com  Indian company with decent website and good reviews. Prices seemed ok to me and quality was good. Arrived FedEx in five working days including personalised monogram stitching.

Two nights of terrible nightmares which I won't describe. Hopefully tonight will be peaceful.
