Originally released in 1976, Rushs epic, landmark release 2112 was their creative and commercial breakthrough as well as one of the bands most highly regarded releases among both fans and critics alike. With lyrics written by Neil Peart, 2112 kicks off with the ambitious seven-suite title track set in a futuristic world run by the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx who determine the content of all reading matter, songs, pictures every facet of life.
Rush/2112 40th Anniversary Edition features extensive liner notes by renowned rock historian Rob Bowman, and newly designed artwork by longtime Rush art director Hugh Syme. The sets rare recordings include Solar Federation, spotlighting the isolated Neil Peart vocals that close the song 2112 in Grand Finale, two outtakes from the 1976 Massey Hall concerts including Something For Nothing and a nearly complete 15+ minute performance of 2112, as well as a recently-rediscovered live version of the album track The Twilight Zone, which has only been performed twice in the bands long history.
The epic 2112 album which guitarist Alex Lifeson described as the first record where we sounded like Rush, is widely regarded as a crucial landmark in Rushs body of work. Although it was the bands fourth album, its generally considered to be the one on which the bands epic sound and ambitious conceptual approach blossomed. Resisting record-company pressure to focus on shorter, more radio-friendly songs, the band stuck to its guns and constructed the albums seminal seven-part, 20-minute title piece, a conceptual suite set in a dystopian future.
Contains newly remastered CD of the original 2112 album by Abbey Road Studios, and an additional CD of rare, live and previously unreleased material including newly-recorded tracks from 2112 featuring Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters along with Nick Raskulinecz, Billy Talent, Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree, Jacob Moon and Alice In Chains. The sets third disc is a DVD featuring a newly restored vintage 1976 Rush concert recorded at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ, plus bonus videos of the Grohl/Hawkins/Raskulinecz track and Billy Talent track, and a new 25+ minute interview featuring Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson and longtime producer & engineer Terry Brown.
