It’s a year of RUSH coming to you. Beginning with the Fly By Night BD-Audio that we mentioned earlier in the week, there will be a monthly release of titles. Now, of course, not ALL of them are planned for BD-Audio (Blu-ray Audio), however, many will receive vinyl reincarnations, and ALL (of announced titles) will be released as Hi-resolution digital audio likely destined for HDTracks. Perhaps, in some time in the future, those hi-res tracks might be blessed with a physical BD-Audio release as well.
Nevertheless, there are two other Rush classics coming to the physical BD-Audio realm that will include A Farewell To Kings, and Signals. Those are still a bit away but along with the Fly By Night listings (when I get them), I will update information on all listings in a new post as they become available.
Here’s the run-down:
- January 27: Fly By Night (Vinyl LP w/download rights / BD-Audio / Hi-Res Digital Audio)
- February: Caress Of Steel (1975) (Vinyl LP w/download rights / Hi-Res Digital Audio)

- November: Hold Your Fire (1987) (Vinyl LP w/download rights / Hi-Res Digital Audio)
- December: A Show Of Hands (1989) (Vinyl LP w/download rights / Hi-Res Digital Audio)
Awesome news. I really hope they will release all of their titles for blu-ray audio. Either way, that’s five albums of theirs for now (2112, Moving Pictures, Fly by Night, A Farewell To Kings, and Signals).
Ummm, how about some more multichannel releases in hi-res format. Been a while since the last one… Hemispheres (and Permanent Waves) would be more than welcome, particularly if they could engage Steven Wilson to do the mix! I’m sure he wouldn’t mind tackling those albums!
Hopefully the BD-Audio releases have the 5.1 mixes from the Sector boxes (although they are a bit of a “hit and miss”).
They have also released a bunch of albums since the 80’s. How about some Hi-Res releases from that set (and, I know that it is a different label…).
