On March 21, Rush will release Rush 50, a wide-ranging 50-track super deluxe anthology celebrating the half-century milestone marker for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame icons.

The anthology serves as a complete career-spanning Rush anthology on seven LPs and four CDs, featuring 50 tracks, beginning with the first ever reissue of their debut 1973 single, and ending with a live recording of the last song they performed together as a band at their final concert in 2015 at The Forum in Los Angeles.

Rush 50 will be available in five configurations, including the Super Deluxe Edition, Rush Store Exclusive Super Deluxe Edition, 7-LP Deluxe Edition, 4-CD Deluxe Edition, and Digital Edition.

Seven tracks on Rush 50 are previously unreleased. Amongst the Holy Grail unreleased tracks are the first-ever official CD and LP reissue of Rush’s first single on Moon Records from 1973, “Not Fade Away” and “You Can’t Fight It,” a pair of early gems that Rush fans have been clamoring to be released officially for decades – newly remastered from the original analog tapes.

Other studio rarities on Rush 50 include Vault Editions of 1974’s “Working Man” and 1978’s “The Trees,” both of which showcase alternate guitar solos by Alex Lifeson, with the former track only having been available as a digital single while the latter cut has never been officially released beyond its appearance on instrument-based video games.

Additionally, five unreleased live songs have been culled from some of Rush’s most legendary performances.
