Today sees the reissue of Fly By Night on vinyl, with a code for a 320kbps MP4 vinyl ripped Digital Audio album download. In addition, Fly By Night is also now available as a "blu-ray-audio remaster", previously only available in the Sectors 1 boxed set. Click here to buy Fly By Night on vinyl, or blu-ray audio.
As announced last month, following last year's Rush reDISCovered release, Rush is reissuing the rest of Rush's remaining Mercury era albums (studio and live albums through A Show of Hands) in chronological order throughout the rest of 2015.
I picked up the album the other day. I haven't listened to the vinyl yet but I did do the download and promptly put it on my iPod. I already have the Sectors copy of Fly By Night on my iPod. So, after listening to the "new" remaster, I went back to the Sectors for a comparison. I was shocked to find that the new FBN was slightly slower and about a quarter tone flat in pitch. I confirmed this by playing my bass along with both versions. I haven't seen any other comments on this yet. Has anyone else noticed?
