Part of ReDISCovered Series, 12" Box Set Includes Collectable Memorabilia and Outstanding Analog Pressing of Rush's Seminal 1974 Debut That Includes "Working Man" and "Finding My Way".
Rush is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its debut album in a big way. Remastered at Abbey Road Studios by engineer Sean McGee (the very same gentlemen in charge of the recent, acclaimed Beatles remasters) and pressed on 200g LP at QRP via the Direct Metal Mastering process, Rush (ReDISCovered) presents the trio's seminal initial salvo in the finest analog fidelity it's ever enjoyed. Housed in a 12" box, the set also contains reproductions of the original Canadian retail poster, publicity photos, and a 12 x 12 family poster.
In March of 1974, Rush released their self-titled debut through the band's own indie label, Moon Records in Canada, and quickly sold out of the initial 3500 copies originally pressed. Moon Records would soon become Anthem Records, which launched in 1977, and continues to serve as the band's only Canadian record company. To mark the band's 40-year recording career, on April 15, 2014, Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) will celebrate with the vinyl reissue of the original Moon Records (pre-Mercury) release of Rush, as part of Universal's reDISCovered vinyl series. Housed in a sturdy, custom box with a lift-off top, this landmark album is pressed on 200g, audiophile grade vinyl, from the original 1974 analog stereo masters, cut to copper plates using the Direct Metal Mastering (DMM) process at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. Rush also features the original Moon Records jacket art, complete with the original MN-100-A/B Matrix etching, and will include a 16'x22' reproduction of the first Rush promo poster, three 5'x7' lithographs of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and John Rutsey and a 12'x12' Rush Family Tree poster, and a digital download card for a free digital copy of this newly remastered release.
Featuring the band's original line up, Lee, Lifeson and Rutsey, Rush's eponymous 1974 debut features eight hard- hitting rockers including 'Finding My Way', the fast-paced 'Need Some Love', 'Take A Friend', 'What You're Doing', the southern rock vibe of 'In The Mood' and their U.S. breakthrough anthem 'Working Man' which was made famous by Cleveland, Ohio's WMMS radio station. Other tracks include the more melodic 'Here Again' and the atmospheric 'Before and After', which gradually builds into a burst of power chords and heavy guitar riffs.
Rush's unique style and sound continues to evolve and push the envelope of rock into new territories, gaining legions of new fans along the way. After a four decade journey, in 2013 Rush was recognized for their immeasurable impact and influence in rock and roll and were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame to the delight of fans and critics alike.
Channeling the hard rock flavors of influences such as Cream and Led Zeppelin, and adding distinctive elements such as readily driving melodies and Geddy Lee's inimitable vocals, Rush hits the ground running on an 8-song album notable for its crisp production and economy of scale. Two songs, "Finding My Way" and the anthem "Working Man," remain concert and FM radio staples to this day. The gold-certified Rush stands as one of the best rock debuts of its (or any) era. Here, original drummer John Rutsey and company set the tables for the legendary Neil Peart, who joined the band shortly after the record was released.
While Rush collectors will immediately find satisfaction in the rare memorabilia contained within, audiophiles everywhere will be smitten with the dynamic, room-filling sound afforded by this 200g LP. Dead-quiet and graced with information-loaded grooves, the vinyl pressing reveals a plethora of previously unheard details, deeper soundstages, and rich textures. Rush now sounds better, and more significant, than ever before.
