Through the Camera Eye, Rush's first video LP since their best-selling concert video, Exit...Stage Left, is a skillfully produced compilation with eight of the Canadian megaband's best video performances.
This dazzling program features the rock trio in both live and conceptual videos. Included is the rarely-seen classic, "Vital Signs" (which predates MTV!), plus such MTV favorites as "Distant Early Warning," "The Body Electric," "Countdown," and "Subdivisions". "Tom Sawyer," a blazing live track from Exit...Stage Left, shows why Rush has become one of rock's top concert attractions.
As an added bonus, Through The Camera Eye presents "Afterimage," from Grace Under Pressure, a track which has never been seen on TV. All in all, this collection is a must see for true fans of Rush - and great music video!
All songs written by Lee, Lifeson and Peart except TOM SAWYER written by Lee, Lifeson, Peart and Dubois.

Notes
- Released on VHS, Betamax and Laserdisc, July 1985.
- All of the videos in this collection were later released on Chronicles, with the exception of "Countdown", "The Body Electric" and "Vital Signs" ("Afterimage" and "The Enemy Within" were hidden as "Easter Eggs"). It would take over 40 years before all three of those videos were finally reissued: "Vital Signs" was included on both the Moving Pictures 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition and 40th Anniversary Super Deluxe Editions, "Countdown" in the Signals 40th Anniversary reissue, and "The Body Electric" (as well as "Afterimage" and "The Enemy Within") was included in the Grace Under Pressure Super Deluxe Edition.
