Rush announces complete Atlantic Records albums box

The 6 LP set is limited to 3,000 copies

Rhino Records is set to release Rush’s four Atlantic Records albums in a new 6 LP vinyl box set on November 1st. The Albums: 1989-1996 covers the first four albums that Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart recorded for the label before their hiatus in 1997. Each album includes a print of reimagined cover artwork and is housed in a slipcase featuring new artwork by award-winning artist Hugh Syme, who has created all of Rush’s album cover art since 1975.

Three thousand will be pressed and available exclusively via Rhino’s website.

Presto is Rush’s 13th studio album and their first with Atlantic Records. The gold-certified record reached No. 16 on the Billboard, marking a more guitar-centric sound for the band. After a brief hiatus, the band emerged with the commercial and critical success Roll the Bones. Peaking at No. 3 in the U.S., No. 10 in the U.K. and No. 11 in Canada, with the title track reaching No. 9 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.

Counterparts followed with continued success, landing at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 -one of the band’s highest-charting albums. The record was certified platinum and received a 1994 Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance for their track “Leave That Thing Alone.” Rush released their 16th album, Test for Echo, in 1996, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard chart and the title track taking the No. 1 spot on the Mainstream Rock Track chart.
