RUSH: ‘Studio Albums’ Seven-Disc Box Set Due In October

On October 1, two major reissues from RUSH will be available via Atlantic/Rhino. The first is a seven-disc box set, “The Studio Albums 1989-2007”, which includes every studio album RUSH recorded for Atlantic Records: 1989’s “Presto”, 1991’s “Roll The Bones”, 1993’s “Counterparts”, 1996’s “Test For Echo”, 2002’s “Vapor Trails”, 2004’s “Feedback” covers EP, and 2007’s “Snakes & Arrows”. Each album will be presented in a wallet sleeve that faithfully reproduces the original artwork — except for “Vapor Trails”, which features a re-interpreted version of the original cover. The box will be available for a list price of $49.98.

“The Studio Albums 1989-2007” will include a remixed version of “Vapor Trails”. In 2009, two tracks from the album — “One Little Victory” and “Earthshine” — were remixed for the “Retrospective III” collection, but now the entire album has been remixed, and will be
available separately, as well as in the boxed set. The stand-alone
version will be $11.98 on CD, $29.98 on double LP, and $9.99 for digital download, and will also be released October 1.

“‘Vapor Trails’ was an album made under difficult and emotional circumstances — sort of like RUSH learning how to be RUSH again — and as a result, mistakes were made that we have longed to correct. David Bottrill’s remixes have finally brought some justice and clarity to this deserving body of our work,” says RUSH bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee.

“Every song has been given a new life, from the fire of ‘One Little Victory’, ‘Secret Touch’, and ‘Ceiling Unlimited’ to the melodic musicality of ‘Sweet Miracle’ and ‘How It Is’… these songs have been redeemed.
