Rush - Hemispheres - LP Box Set

40th Anniversary Edition, 180g 3LP Box Set

The 40th anniversary celebration of Rush's revered catalog continues with this audiophile 180g 3LP deluxe edition of their classic 1978 album Hemispheres. Building on the adventurous template of A Farewell to Kings, the album devotes its entire first side to the epic "Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres" before delivering the FM favorite "The Trees" and the instrumental tour de force "La Villa Strangiato." This set adds a previously unreleased 1979 Pinkpop Festival performance, a 1978 "2112" from Tucson, and a 24-page booklet with new Hugh Syme artwork and a replica tour program.
