Since their formation in 1969, it took the original members of Rush, Alex, Geddy and John Rutsey, (Neil Peart’s predecessor) 5 years for this great debut album to be released. Unable to secure a record company deal, the band decided to form their own record label called Moon Records. The record was recorded at Eastern Sound Studios in 1973 and remixed in Toronto by Terry Brown. Only 3,500 copies were pressed world-wide before Rush hit the big time by securing a record contract with Mercury Records. This great album was then re-issued on the more common blue Mercury label. The original Moon Records pressing has the red coloured Rush logo. The later pressings on Mercury and Anthem have the more familiar pink Rush logo. The album in pristine condition can sell for as much as $900.00 and is one of the most sought-out slabs of Canadian vinyl on the planet.
