The fourth album from Rush, 2112, is 40 years old, so why not celebrate? It will be re-issued in an expanded form on December 16th.
The two-CD, one-DVD edition will have a newly remastered CD of the original album as done by the folks at Abbey Road Studios, and an additional CD of rare, live and previously unreleased material — including newly recorded tracks from 2112 featuring Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins from the Foo Fighters, along with others.
The DVD contains a newly restored concert from 1976 recorded at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic [pr: puh-SAY-ick], New Jersey, plus bonus videos and a new interview with guitarist Alex Lifeson and producer-engineer Terry Brown.
There is also the vinyl version, which incorporates all of the aforementioned audio material, plus a special laser-etched LP side, the 2015 hologram on 2112’s side B and a unique turntable mat featuring the band’s iconic Starman character.
And the super-deluxe version contains the whole shooting match.
