Two 1976 Rush Albums Reissued in Remastered Vinyl Editions

The year’s vinyl releases of remastered Rush albums continues with the double live album All the World’s a Stage and the legendary 2112, both from 1976.

Both albums from the prog-rock trio of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart were remastered at Abbey Road Studios using the Direct to Metal Mastering process and pressed on 200-gram vinyl. As a bonus, All the World’s a Stage retains its original format, created for use on auto-change continual play turntables. That means on disc features sides A and D and the other includes sides B and C.

2112 is often considered Rush’s definitive album, and the vinyl reissue adds something extra to the record’s packaging — a custom, hand-etched hologram of the “Red Star of the Federation” pressed in the album’s side two wax runout, which can be seen when any focused source of light (like an LED) is trained on it from above as the record spins.

The hologram is pretty cool:

All the World’s a Stage is available here and 2112 is available here.
