The Story

Seventh studio album by Canadian rock band Rush.

The original cover depicted the famous incorrect headline "Dewey Defeats Truman" on a newspaper in the bottom left corner.

However, the Chicago Tribune (the paper that originally published the error) pressured the band to remove the headline. Some versions appear altered with either "Dewei Defeats Truman" or whited-out completely.

The billboards in the distance (mid-right) originally read "Coca-Cola." However, the cola company objected to the use of their logo and the cover was changed to display the band members names in a similar typestyle to the original logo.

Trivia: The woman on the cover of this album is model Paula Turnbull. Contrary to rumor, the guy waving in the background on the cover is not one of the members of Rush, it's actually Hugh Syme, the art director of the album (and also who played piano on "Different Strings").
