$

50

A spectacular, fully factory-sealed original 1985 US first pressing of Rush's eleventh studio album, Power Windows. Safely locked beneath its tight, unbroken original factory shrink wrap for over four decades, this record is in flawless, museum-grade condition. It is a strict retail edition, completely free from warehouse cutout flaws like punch holes, saw cuts, or clipped corners. 
Produced by Peter Collins, Power Windows is celebrated for its grandiose, synth-heavy production and cinematic multi-layered arrangements featuring strings by Anne Dudley. Neil Peart's ambitious lyrics explore the multifaceted concept of power—ranging from political to financial. Mastered beautifully at Masterdisk by Bob Ludwig, this album remains an absolute audiophile masterclass in mid-80s progressive rock engineering.
