Rush is the debut studio album by Canadian rock band Rush. It was released on March 1, 1974 in Canada by Moon Records, the group's own label, before it was released internationally by Mercury Records later that year. Recorded five years after the band's formation, This first release shows much of the hard rock sound typical of many of the popular rock bands emerging earlier in the decade. Rush were fans of such bands as Led Zeppelin and Cream, and these influences can be heard in most of the songs on the album.
Original drummer John Rutsey performed all drum parts on the album, but was unable to go on extended tours because of complications with his diabetes and so he retired from the band after the album was released. Rutsey contributed to the album's lyrics, but never submitted the work to the other members of the band. The lyrics were instead entirely composed by vocalist/bassist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson. Rutsey was soon replaced by Neil Peart, who remained the band's drummer as well as its primary lyricist. (Source: Wikipedia)
I purchased this album new around 1975 or 76. I was a bit of a Rush enthusiast so played the hell out of it. I haven't had a turntable to many years now so I have no idea if there's any skips. I don't recall there being any but I can't promise anything. Understand that these records are old and well used. I was more into the music and I probably didn't treat these records with the great care that others did. Don't expect these records to be anything even remotely close to pristine. Be aware that I'm NOT a record grading expert, nor do I profess to being one. I try to take my best shot at it.
I've tried to filter the product photos and enhance visual defects in an effort to be as transparent as possible as to the condition of these items.
