Superdeluxe boxset:
The band has been "retiring" for 3 years, but they are using that time to celebrate all 40th birthdays of their albums. This year it will be the album Hemispheres from 1978.
The original album contained only 4 tracks: The A-side filling Cygnus X-1 and on the B-side Circumstances, The Trees and the classic La Villa Strangiato.
The bonus material on this 40th Anniversary the band was partly recorded in The Netherlands. During the tour for Hemispheres the band played at Pinkpop festival in 1979, and the well-preserved recordings of that show can be found in their entirety on CD2, supplemented with a 20- minute live version of 2112, recorded in 1978 in Arizona.
For the Rush fans worldwide a nice document, for the Dutch fans it's extra special because it as the only time that Rush could be seen and heard at Pinkpop, and these
recordings have not been released until now.
The album is beautifully designed with new artwork in the same style of the original album, with a nice booklet with new liner notes and photos. The superdeluxe boxset also includes a replica tour program, replica tickets and a Pinkpop VIP pass and also a BluRay.
