Rush has announced a pair of new vinyl releases. 

The band's 2003 best-of compilation, The Spirit of Radio: Greatest Hits 1974–1987, will be available on vinyl for the first time on Oct. 2. It will be released as a two-LP set featuring all 16 of the original collection's tracks, as well as an abbreviated one-LP, 10-track version.

Additionally, a 50th anniversary vinyl edition of Rush's 1976 opus 2112 will be released on Oct. 2. That LP, which was pressed to black liquid vinyl, was previously exclusive to the UMusic Shop in New York City during Rush's recent four-show stand at Madison Square Garden as part of their Fifty Something comeback tour.

The Fifty Something tour, which launched in June, marks Rush's first tour since 2015, and their first since the 2020 death of drummer Neil Peart. Bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson reformed the band in 2025 with drummer Anika Nilles.

The Fifty Something tour continues Friday with the first of four shows in Rush's hometown of Toronto, which are set to be filmed.
