As we've know for over a month now, Rush will be releasing a Rush 50 Super Deluxe Box Set compilation anthology in celebration of the band's 50th anniversary this Spring. We first learned about the box set back in early December when a pre-release listing for a Rush 50th anniversary Super Deluxe compilation set appeared on Apple Music with an expected release date of February 7, 2025. The listing included the entire tracklist but was eventually taken down. Then Classic Rock magazine's February edition hit store shelves late last month and included an extensive cover feature celebrating Rush's 50th anniversary. The article confirmed the box set was in the works, but did not include any additional details. In the weeks since the article was released, listings for the set have been slowly popping up online (and subsequently being removed), revealing more details. But this morning Rush finally made the official announcement, along with a few more details and an unboxing video. From the announcement:

On March 21, UMe/Mercury and Anthem Records label groups celebrate the half-century milestone marker for Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame icons with RUSH 50, a wide-ranging 50-track super deluxe anthology that encompasses the entirety of the band's long and storied career for the first time across all the band's label groups, bookended with the first ever reissue of their debut 1973 single and a live recording of the last song they ever performed together as a band at their final concert in 2015 at The Forum in Los Angeles. ...

"50? Is that all?...seriously...it's a cool collection...but look at all those songs - I'm exhausted just reading the effin list!" - Geddy Lee ...

The set will be available in five distinct configurations, including the (1) Super Deluxe Edition ($374.98), (2) Rush Store Exclusive Super Deluxe Edition, (3) 7-LP Deluxe Edition ($249.98), (4) 4-CD Deluxe Edition ($99.98), and (5) Digital Edition ($26.49). The Rush Backstage Store exclusive edition includes an additional four bonus lithos showcasing Rush through time, newly illustrated by FANTOONS from the characters created for the graphic novel depicting the band in the '70s, '80s, '90s and 2000s. As mentioned above, Rush 50 will be officially released on March 21st, and it can be pre-ordered here.
