Celebrate a seismic shift in progressive rock history with the 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Rush’s Permanent Waves. Originally released in 1980, this album marked the dawn of a new era for the Canadian trio, blending their complex prog-rock roots with a more accessible, "modern" sound that yielded their first major hits.
This remastered 2-CD set features the original six-track masterpiece, including the radio staple "The Spirit of Radio" and the atmospheric epic "Jacob's Ladder." Described by the band as a "refinement of ideas," the studio album captures Rush at their creative peak, balancing technical precision with melodic hooks.
The Deluxe Edition highlights include:
- Bonus Live Content: An additional 80 minutes of previously unreleased live tracks from the 1980 tour, mixed by longtime producer Terry Brown.
- Expanded Catalog: 12 live recordings, featuring "hysterical" takes on "Beneath, Between & Behind" and a "positively avant-garde" version of "By-Tor & The Snowdog."
- Exclusive Packaging: A 20-page booklet featuring unreleased archive photos and new artwork by original designer Hugh Syme.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a newcomer to the "Lee, Lifeson, Peart" magic, this reissue is a definitive tribute to the album that proved progressive music could be both high-brow and high-energy.
