Back in May we learned that Rush and Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs were planning an extensive Rush reissue series, where they will be releasing audiophile versions of Rush's Mercury-era catalog over the next few years. MoFi released more details regarding the reissue series earlier today, and the first batch of titles will include Rush's debut album (Hybrid SACD, 2 LP), Fly by Night (Hybrid SACD, 2 LP) and A Farewell to Kings (Hybrid SACD, 2 LP), all of which are now available for pre-order (specific release date TBD). Rush plans to release a total of 11 albums over the next 2 years or so beginning this summer; the first time that the band's complete Mercury catalog has been issued as dedicated standalone audiophile editions. Ultimate Classic Rock recently spoke with MoFi's Jim Davis about the reissues, and he had the following to say:

... "Having the opportunity to work with the Rush team on these iconic titles is an exceptional honor for everyone at MoFi and Fidelity Record Pressing," Mobile Fidelity owner Jim Davis tells UCR via email. "We know how sacred these records are to Rush fans, and we are treating them with that exact level of respect. We are fully committed to delivering the definitive, high-fidelity listening experiences these legendary albums deserve." ...

All titles will be available as hybrid SACDs and on vinyl, with many of the latter available in their UltraDisc One-Step format or as double LP sets. Following the first 3 titles, the remaining albums, beginning with 1975's Caress of Steel and concluding with 1985's Power Windows will arrive in 2027 and 2028.
