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 & 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 & 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.”
Hugh Syme – the band’s longtime creative director – has been enlisted to design the brand-
new 50 th anniversary graphics along with new illustrations celebrating Rush’s songs. Rock
journalists David Fricke and Phillip Wilding recount their individual experiences with the band
and their crowning achievements centered around incredible photos of the band in a 100-
page hardcover book offered in all three physical formats.
Exclusive to the Super Deluxe Edition, Fantoons has created a 100-page graphic novel as
the second hardcover book detailing a conversation of Geddy and Alex reminiscing on their
50-year journey of the trials, tribulations and successes that the creation of each album and
their songs endured. With contributions from producers and engineers Terry Brown, Peter
Henderson, Paul Northfield, Peter Collins, Rupert Hine, Kevin “Caveman” Shirley, Stephen
Tayler and Nick Rasculinecz all who were instrumental in the evolution of Rush’s sound.
