Different Stages, by Rush (1998): I wrote an fairly lengthy review of this 3-disc set for Ground and Sky years ago (follow the title link) that still pretty much captures my opinion of the set. It's worth it for the full-blown "2112," a live version of "Natural Science," and the archival third disc from the A Farewell to Kings era. However, on thing sucks just as bad as it did back then:
My other complaint, and it is fairly major, is to whomever put together the package for this release. You should be taken out and shot! To begin with, we get one of those flimsy cardboard folders instead of a jewel case. Then you open it to find that the discs themselves don't even snap into place, they merely slide in and out of the folder (just like the LPs of yore!). Finally, the third disc has no real place to call home, only a sleeve that rests within the folded case, which falls out every time I open it.When bad packaging happens to good albums!

Duly noted and link updated. You know, for a woman who was going to take February off, you've been pretty active!
