Island Rush 50 [VINYL]

Rock icons Rush celebrate their 50-year milestone as Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart officially solidified the Holy Trinity in July of 1974. Bringing the world masterful Progressive Rock musicianship, brilliant recordings, and iconic lyrics and storytelling as well as rock radio masterpieces - we present the first-ever, complete career-spanning Rush anthology featuring 50 tracks with 7 unreleased offered on 4 CDs and 7 LPs. Igniting the collection is the first-ever official CD and LP reissue of the band's very first singles 'Not Fade Away' and 'You Can't Fight It' which fans have been begging to be reissued for decades. Filling out the anthology are selections from every studio, live and deluxe reissue album the band have officially released. The golden jubilee gems will be 8 rarities: Vault Editions of 'Working Man' and 'The Trees' both showcasing alternate guitar solos with the former only being available as a digital single and the latter never officially released beyond the instrument-based video games. Next up are 5 unreleased live songs all from 1974 including two with original drummer John Rutsey with non-album songs like 'Bad Boy' and 'Garden Road'. Closing out the celebration is the incendiary final performance with Neil Peart in Los Angeles on August 1, 2015 of 'What You're Doing/Working Man/Garden Road'.
