Canadian legends Rush have announced the release of Rush: The Albums: 1989-1996, a six-disc vinyl box set collecting the band's Presto, Roll The Bones, Counterparts and Test For Echo albums together in one delicious set.
Presto and Roll The Bones are both single vinyl packages, while Counterparts and Test for Echo both are double-LP sets featuring music on three sides and an etching on the fourth. Each album is accompanied by a print of reimagined cover artwork by the band's longtime art director, Hugh Syme, who also designed the set's slipcase.
The four albums were originally recorded for Atlantic Records before Rush went on a five-year hiatus in 1998 following the tragic deaths of drummer Neil Peart's daughter and wife.
Rush: The Albums: 1989-1996 is released on November 11 and is available to pre-order from Rush Backstage now.
In 2013 Rush released The Studio Albums 1989–2007, a seven-CD set comprised of the four albums contained in the new set, plus the three albums recorded after their return from hiatus: Vapor Trails (2002), Feedback (2004) and Snakes & Arrows (2007).
