Originally released in 1975, the platinum-certified sophomore album includes fan favourites such as \u003cem\u003eFly by Night\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAnthem\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBy-Tor \u0026amp; the Snow Dog\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMobile Fidelity Sound Lab presents the album in a \u003cstrong\u003enumbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP\u003c\/strong\u003e set. 1\/4\" \/ 15 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from the original analogue master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, housed in a \u003cstrong\u003eStoughton\u003c\/strong\u003e gatefold jacket and including a bonus photo print, this audiophile edition presents \u003cem\u003eFly by Night\u003c\/em\u003e at 45RPM for the first time. Exceptional groove definition, an ultra-low noise floor and dead-quiet vinyl surfaces allow the album's rhythmic precision, dynamic range and intricate arrangements to emerge with remarkable clarity. The wider grooves also improve tracking and preserve high-frequency detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album benefited from the continued partnership between Rush and producer \u003cstrong\u003eTerry Brown\u003c\/strong\u003e, working once again at \u003cstrong\u003eToronto Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e, the studio where Brown had helped salvage the band's debut recordings. That growing musical chemistry is reflected in the album's coherent sound, greater confidence and expanded sonic palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMobile Fidelity's restoration reveals exceptional instrumental separation, imaging and soundstage depth. Details such as Geddy Lee's detuned E-string, processed through a Fuzz-Tone pedal and repeated with an Echoplex on \u003cem\u003eBy-Tor \u0026amp; the Snow Dog\u003c\/em\u003e, can now be heard with extraordinary realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded while the band maintained a relentless touring schedule following the success of \u003cem\u003eWorking Man\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFly by Night\u003c\/em\u003e captures the chemistry Rush developed on the road after Neil Peart joined in August 1974. More than simply a virtuoso drummer, Peart immediately established himself as the band's principal lyricist, bringing literary ambition that matched the group's expanding musical vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeart contributed lyrics to six of the album's eight songs, including the title track, inspired by his first journey away from home as a teenager, and the J.R.R. Tolkien-influenced \u003cem\u003eRivendell\u003c\/em\u003e, a gentle ballad notable for its lack of percussion and Geddy Lee's classical acoustic guitar performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCo-written by all three members, \u003cem\u003eMaking Memories\u003c\/em\u003e grew out of a wrong turn taken while travelling to a concert during the band's pivotal 1974 tour. Its optimistic opening lines would come to embody the unity and determination that defined Rush throughout its career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo of Peart's most celebrated lyrical works appear here. Inspired by Ayn Rand's novel, \u003cem\u003eAnthem\u003c\/em\u003e channels themes of individualism and self-determination through one of the band's defining early hard rock performances. \u003cem\u003eBy-Tor \u0026amp; the Snow Dog\u003c\/em\u003e, meanwhile, introduced the elaborate multi-part storytelling and fantasy themes that would become Rush hallmarks, even causing concern among record executives who questioned the band's move beyond straightforward hard rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cem\u003eFly by Night\u003c\/em\u003e, Rush began a new chapter that would establish them as one of progressive rock's most influential and enduring bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHybrid SACD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso sourced from the original analogue master tapes and housed in mini-LP-style packaging, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD delivers the platinum-certified album with exceptional detail, presence and dynamic range, showcasing the first recording by Rush's classic lineup in definitive audiophile sound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobile Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Numbered 180g 2LP 45RPM","offer_id":58541664960857,"sku":"SDZ-48593","price":79.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Numbered Hybrid SACD","offer_id":58541664993625,"sku":"SDZ-48594","price":45.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/flybynight__48515.1781883063.jpg?v=1783600579","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/rush-fly-by-night-mobile-fidelity-numbered-edition","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
