Rush Celebrates The 40th Anniversary of “Moving Pictures” by Making Rare Photo Outtakes Available
Photographer Deborah Samuel is credited for capturing the now-iconic album cover images for the Rush albums Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Exit…Stage Left, and Signals. Now in the 40th anniversary year of Moving Pictures – long considered one of rock’s all-time classic albums – fans will be able to obtain extremely rare photograph outtakes from the album cover shoot.
