Rush – Fly By Night (Vinyl LP)

Rush Fly By Night on LP 

In 2014 UMe/Mercury reissued Rush’s self-titled debut on vinyl in celebration of the album’s 40th anniversary. Now in 2015, let the Rush 40 celebration continue with ’12 Months of Rush’ reissues – in chronological order – starting with 1975’s Fly By Night on LP. 

 

 

Rush’s second album, Fly By Night, was the first to feature integral new drummer Neil Peart who replaced original member John Rutsey and also became the band’s lyricist. On more complex songs like the title track and “Making Memories,” you can hear the band’s signature sound truly starting to take shape and the album enjoyed platinum certification in both their homeland of Canada and the U.S.

 

“It showed a progression from the first album,” Geddy Lee notes. “We’re very happy with it. We recorded it as an album. Singles would be nice, but that’s incidental.”
