Which ones are being remastered? Everything, or just up to Empire? I'm guessing Promised Land (awesome album!), HITNF (dud album!) and Q2K (the most underrated album of our time!) won't need remastering.
On another note, do you think Mercury will ever get sick of releasing Rush best-ofs? "The Spirit of Radio" came out recently and, as with their other compilations ("Chronicles", "Retrospective I & II") they only go up to "Hold Your Fire" because after that Rush went to... Atlantic, I think.
And it's almost time for another batch of Maiden rereleases. Fingers crossed!!!
