Overview
- UMe/Mercury and Anthem Records announced Friday that both titles will be released on October 2, 2026, with pre-orders now open for select editions.
- The 2112 50th‑anniversary edition is pressed as a black liquid vinyl with redesigned packaging and is a Sound Of Vinyl exclusive pre‑order after a brief, limited sale at the UMusic Shop during late July Madison Square Garden shows.
- The Spirit Of Radio: Greatest Hits 1974–1987 is being issued on vinyl for the first time as a 16‑track 2LP on 180‑gram black vinyl and as a 10‑track 1LP retail exclusive that uniquely includes 'Finding My Way.'
- The releases are being promoted alongside Rush's 'Fifty Something' tour, which launched in June and features Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson performing with drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold, with upcoming Toronto shows slated to be filmed.
- 2112 was produced with Terry Brown and features the seven‑part, 20‑plus‑minute title suite that helped define Rush's early career, and the vinyl push highlights the band's packaging, artwork by Hugh Syme, and collector market strategy.
