Rush - Rush [SACD Hybrid Sacd /Numbered]

The Debut That Launched a Five-Decade-Plus Career and Turned Rush into International Icons: Band’s Eponymous Album Includes “Working Man” and “Finding My Way” Hear the Trio’s 1974 Record in Definitive Sound on Disc: Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Plays with Stunning Presence, Detail, and Clarity Rush’s eponymous debut remains unique for being the only entry in the trio’s extensive catalog that doesn’t feature its renowned drummer and lyricist, Neil Peart. That distinction informs the foundational content and independent-minded account of Rush — whose straightforward performances and no-frills songwriting still fascinate more than five decades after its original release in March 1974. Sourced from the original analog master tapes and housed in a mini-LP-style gatefold package, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered-edition hybrid SACD presents the Canadian group’s self-titled effort in definitive audiophile sound on disc. This collectible reissue captures what went down at two Toronto studios with engaging presence, tonal precision, and enhanced dynamics. The fullness, body, and extension of the instruments emerge with newfound clarity and perspective. Afforded revealing separation, soundstaging, and imaging, the music comes across with a scale and size true to the asteroid-burst-like cover art and group’s “Energized Rock” motto. The story of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest bands begins here. Numbered Hybrid Stereo SACD NUMBERED SPECIAL EDITION 1. Finding My Way 2. Need Some Love 3. Take a Friend 4. Here Again 5.
