Rhino has announced Rush - The Albums: 1989-1996, a  6LP vinyl box set available for pre-order at rushbackstage.com, or direct from Rhino here.

Rush’s first four albums with Atlantic Records will be reissued on vinyl in the upcoming boxed set that includes Presto (1989), Roll the Bones (1991), Counterparts (1993), and Test For Echo (1996).

The new collection covers the first four albums that Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart recorded for Atlantic Records before their hiatus in 1997. Each album includes a print of reimagined cover artwork and is housed in a slipcase featuring new artwork by award-winning artist Hugh Syme, who has created all of Rush’s album cover art since 1975.

Presto is Rush’s thirteenth studio album and their first with Atlantic Records. The gold-certified record reached #16 on the Billboard, marking a more guitar-centric sound for the band. After a brief hiatus, the band emerged with the commercial and critical success Roll The Bones. Peaking at #3 in the US, #10 in the UK and #11 in Canada, with the title track reaching #9 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.

Counterparts followed with continued success, landing at #2 on the Billboard 200 - one of the band’s highest-charting albums. The record was certified platinum and received a 1994 Grammy® Award nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance for their track “Leave That Thing Alone.” Rush released their sixteenth album, Test For Echo, in 1996, reaching #5 on the Billboard chart and the title track taking the #1 spot on the Mainstream Rock Track chart.

The Albums: 1989-1996 celebrates Rush's enduring legacy as one of the most inventive, compelling, and popular groups in rock history, receiving a Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction in 2013. The RIAA has certified Rush for having the third-highest number of consecutive gold and platinum studio albums by a rock band, topped only by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
