Rush debut album.
Hard to believe, based on the later albums, but they started out as hard rock power trio.
I first heard them in spring of 1974 while in college in a small western Pennsylvania school on the Ohio border on the Cleveland radio station WMMS-FM. The school was two hours east of Cleveland and you could only barely get reception of that legendary Rock station at night after the sun went down with a crappy Y-antenna that came with my Sansui 661 receiver.
I loved that first album and still have my original vinyl from 1974 but lost interest as they got more and more progressive.
Rare old video of Working Man
And story of the first album
