A new career-spanning box set will commemorate the singular discography of Canadian rock trio Rush.

Rush 50, due March 21, comprises a generous 50-track overview of the group's output spanning their entire career across four CDs or seven 180-gram LPs, plus a 104-page hardcover book featuring new 50th anniversary artwork by the band's creative director Hugh Syme and liner notes by David Fricke and Philip Wilding. (A super deluxe box set will include both physical formats, the hardcover book, and additional material.) The set offers five tracks released on CD for the first time and five previously unreleased cuts, including both sides of the band's debut single, alternate versions of songs "Working Man" and "The Trees," live versions of songs never released on albums, and the final number of the group's last concert, featuring late drummer Neil Peart.

Known for their exacting musicianship and evolving progressive rock style, Rush - the unchanged trio of Lee, Lifeson and Peart since shortly after the release of their 1974 debut - have maintained a devoted following over the decades. Though they definitively stepped back from recording or touring from 2015 on, the trio remained good friends throughout their entire career, and spent much of the last decade combing through their vaults for 40th anniversary deluxe editions of various albums in their catalogue, including 2112 (1976), A Farewell to Kings (1977), Hemispheres (1978), Permanent Waves (1980), Moving Pictures (1981) and Signals (1982). Highlights from the live material on these box sets makes up part of Rush 50; indeed, 28 of the set's tracks are live recordings taken from the group's many, many official releases over the years.

Beyond the newly-released finale of the band's 2015 set at The Forum in Los Angeles (newly mixed by longtime Rush producer Terry Brown), rare or unheard live tracks include two non-album tunes from the earliest-known Rush concert recording - featuring John Rutsey on drums; another pair of non-LP tracks from a 1975 set at the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland; and a track from a 1974 live-in-studio set at Jimi Hendrix's Electric Lady Studios. Other highlights include "Vault Editions" of early favorite "Working Man" (included in the popular rhythm video game Rock Band and later available as a digital single) and "The Trees" (featuring an alternate guitar solo) as well as the widest release of the band's self-released first single with Lee, Lifeson and Rutsey, featuring a cover of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" and the original "You Can't Fight It."

Buyers of the super deluxe set will get not only Rush 50 on CD and LP along with the standard hardcover book of liner notes, but will also enjoy a second hardcover book: the graphic novel The Fullness of Time, published by Fantoons. This 100-page tome will illustrate highlights from a newly-recorded conversation by Lee and Lifeson looking back at their work with the band, with additional contributions from producers and engineers the group collaborated with over their discography. The super deluxe package will also include 20 lithographs by Syme, each featuring artwork inspired by a song on each of their studio albums. (Fans who order from the band's official store will receive an additional four lithographs.)
