'Rush / Everything Your Listeners Ever Wanted YOU To Play By 'Rush'...But YOU Were Afraid To Play (January 1977)' Review!

This rare Radio Promo from 1977, which eventually spawned the bootleg-buster, 'Rush Through Time' (YOU can compare the track listings with the $ signs!), was a nice introduction to many a new 'Rush' convert as well as reluctant radio stations all across the world to the marvelous, simply marvelous (!) music of Canadian Hard Rock merchants, 'Rush'! On offer are many of their early singles, including the ultra-rare single versions of 'Bacchus Plateau', 'Return Of The Prince' (both from seminal album, 'Caress Of Steel'), 'The Twilight Zone' and 'Lakeside Park'. The remaster adds an additional 7 tunes like the epic tracks, 'Working Man' and 'By-Tor & The Snow-Dog'! Great early 'Rush'! Enjoy! - Rick Wilson, former Rock Radio Journalist with Radio Canale Grandé.

01. Fly By Night (Fly By Night)$1 1975 ***** For all of those weary travellers!
02. Making Memories (Fly By Night)$2 1975 ***** Folk music? 'Rush'? Classic!
03. Bastille Day (Caress Of Steel)$3 1975 ***** Tribute to those French bastions!
04. Something For Nothing (2112)$4 1976 ***** No, 'YOU won't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes!'
05. Lakeside Park (Caress Of Steel) 1975 ***** Neil's famous getaway park in Port Dalhousie, St. Catharines, Ontario, and the celebratory 'Victoria Day'!
06. Anthem (Fly By Night)$6 1975 ***** To all those who have ever strived for more!
07. 2112: I Overture (2112)$7 1976 ***** 'Rush' have so many great instrumentals that one almost wished that there were more...and, the meek shall inherit the Earth, indeed!
08. 2112: II The Temples Of Syrinx (2112)$8 1976 ***** Computer priests at the altar of Rock!
09. The Twilight Zone (2112)$9 1976 ***** Rod Serling, eat your heart out!
10. Best I Can (Fly By Night)$10 1975 ***** My son supplied us with those great album scans, and this is his favourite tune from the overladen 'Fly By Night' album! Happy New Year, 2009, Marcke!
11. Bacchus Plateau, Part V of 'The Fountain Of Lamneth' (Caress Of Steel) 1975 ***** Nice one outside of the lengthy COS Epic!
12. In The End (Fly By Night)$12 1975 ***** Great tune, that I am happy they are reviving on this one!
13. A Passage To Bangkok (2112) 1976 ***** This one garners the most praise when being parodied, for example, 'I'm on a train to bang cock aboard the Thailand Express, I hit the stalls along the way, and I only stop for a piss!' lol Sorry Neil!
14. Beneath, Between & Behind (Fly By Night) 1975 ***** Nifty little drum-driven opus!
15. Working Man (Rush) 1974 ***** The song that introduced me and many in the Midwest to the prowess, and excellent guitar work of 'Rush'!
16. By-Tor & The Snow-Dog (Fly By Night) 1975 ***** The intro aside, this epic of grand proportions never ceases to amaze, especially the 12/8 section! Utterly fabulous! Neil Peart is indeed the drum God, and lyrical genius of the universe!
17. Return Of The Prince, Part III of 'The Necromancer' (Caress Of Steel) 1975 ***** By-Tor's 2nd appearance, as a rare single!
18. Need Some Love (Rush) 1974 ***** A little ditty about Love from a band called, 'Rush'! Do YOU need some?
19. What You're Doing?! (All The World's A Stage) 1976 ***** Nice concert closer from the band's 1st official live set!

'Rush / Rush Through Time (1981) Remaster (2008)' Review!

This rare compilation from mid-1981 brings together some of the earliest singles by Canadian masters, 'Rush', like the rare 'Making Memories', the only song to share a lyrical writing credit by the three main honchos in the band's history: Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson & Neil Peart. Of course, early fan favourites like 'Closer To The Heart' are here on offer, but this compilation adds bonus rarities on the remaster such as the 'Prelude' from the epic '78 smash, 'Hemispheres', and lost singles like 'YYZ' (One of the best instrumentals ever conceived!), 'Circumstances' and 'Entré Nous' aka 'Just Between Us'! And, as if that weren't enough, this stupendous Remaster adds the cult-rarities of 'Bad Boy', in a special remix for this issue, and the band's first single ever from 1973, 'Not Fade Away', the penultimate tribute to Buddy Holly, Canuck-style! By the way, this compilation is also the semi-official release of the promo-LP from 1977, 'Everything Your Listeners Ever Wanted To Hear By 'Rush'... But You Were Afraid to Play'! Just check the $ signs to know which songs were on that unique release. And, get your copy while supplies last! - Rick Wilson, former Rock Radio Journalist with Radio Canale Grandé.
