Celebrate the 50th anniversary of an undisputed prog rock masterpiece with this richly illustrated and highly giftable slip-cased volume.
Rush and 2112: Fifty Years tells the complete tale of the most revered prog rock album of all time with bold photography, insightful interviews and commentary, and rarely seen performance and off-stage photography.
Rush formed in Toronto in 1968 and debuted their first album in 1974. Their second and third albums received middling reviews, then 2112 shot them into the stratosphere of global rock and began a wave of successful albums as their sound continued to evolve.
Rush fans new and old can expect:
- A deep dive into how 2112 came together and why it is regarded as a masterpiece
- Track-by-track analyses of the studio cut as well as insight into the 20-minute “2112” suite and why it works
- Historical insight and analysis about the state of rock in the mid-’70s and evolving ’80s, and how Rush created and sustained an unforgettable sound
- And much, much more
Rush holds an outsized place in popular culture, and this book showcases why: The virtuosity of the lyrics and music, the raw talent of its original trio of Lee, Lifeson, and Pert, and bold compositions in the ever-changing soundscape of the ’70s and ’80s led to a storied career, and over 40 million records sold. Many critics and fans consider Rush one of, if not the greatest rock band of all time, and this book helps explain how Rush rose to the forefront of musical stardom and sustained that popularity for decades.
Written by noted rock historian and avid Rush fan Daniel Bukszpan, this book is sure to delight new and old Rush fans alike from all over the world.
The Great Albums series presents authoritative explorations of rock’s most revered records, beautifully packaged for fans to treasure. Delve into even more groundbreaking releases with: Pink Floyd and The Dark Side of the Moon, The Who & Quadrophenia, Prince and Purple Rain, Queen & A Night at the Opera, Bruce Springsteen and Born to Run, and many more to come.
