Rush bassist Geddy Lee has disclosed that he initially resisted putting the band's hit song Tom Sawyer on the 1981 album Moving Pictures. The track became one of the group's signature pieces despite recording difficulties.
In an interview with Rick Beato on YouTube, Lee explained the challenges faced during production. He stated that every step of recording the song was beset with problems and described it as very difficult to make and mix. Lee added that by the end he was so sick of the track that he did not want to put it on the record.
