Rush / Rush 50

Rush will release Rush 50, a career-spanning box set next month.

The Canadian rock band settled on their classic lineup of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart in July 1974, four months after releasing their debut album. The lineup would then remain unchanged for the rest of the band’s career, as Rush became one of biggest prog rock bands of the 70’s and 80’s.

The new anthology box sets are available across four CDs or seven vinyl LPs. Both features 50 tracks, with seven previously unreleased. Tracks are taken from every studio album, live release, and deluxe reissue that the band has officially released. 

Amongst the rarities are the first ever official CD and LP reissue of Rush’s very first single, a cover of Buddy Holly’s ‘Not Fade Away’, with ‘You Can’t Fight It’ on the B-side, both of which have been newly remastered from the original tapes. There are also “vault editions” of ‘Working Man’ and ‘The Trees’, featuring alternate guitar solos. ‘Working Man’ had previously only been available as a digital single, and ‘Trees’ had never been officially released besides appearing in the Rock Band 2 video game. Alongside this are five unreleased live songs, including two non-album cuts, ‘Bad Boy’ and ‘Garden Road’.

Each box includes new artwork from the band’s creative director Hugh Syme, and a hardcover book featuring essays and photographs. The 180g vinyl is housed in high quality ‘tip-on’ sleeves.

Rush 50 will be released on 21 March 2025 via UMC/Mercury.
