Back in June of last year, Rush followed up their November, 2024 release of The Albums: 1989-1996 vinyl box set, with a similar release covering the band's 2002-2012 period. The set contains Rush's 3 studio albums from that time period, each on 2 LPs, along with one LP containing their 2004 Feedback EP. Only a limited number of the sets were made available and quickly sold out. The LPs from this pressing were not made available for standalone purchase at the time the box set released, although each had already been available on vinyl in some shape or form in the past. But if you missed out on purchasing the sets this past summer, Rhino Records has included 3 of the 4 releases as part of their Start Your Ear Off Right (SYEOR) 2026 series. So as of today Vapor Trails, Feedback and Snakes & Arrows from the set can be purchased as standalone LPs from various online sellers (it looks like they'll release on 1/5 in the UK). It's not quite clear why Clockwork Angels was not included in Rhino's SYEOR lineup, but it's possible it will be made available at a later date. Thanks to Chad H for the heads up.
