RUSH SALE

Having collected RUSH memorabilia for over 210 Dog Years, I have to ask, “Where do I go from here?” Having been made redundant recently, no longer a WORKING MAN, my bowl is no longer THE LARGER BOWL. With the up and coming “time machine” TOUR, the only credible solution is to sell off some of my prized collection to raise some of THE BIG MONEY, for food on my table. Maybe if THE STARS LOOK DOWN kindly, there may be a little left over for that TOUR in the time machine to YYZ?!!

…..ever the optimist, and with a HEART FULL OF SOUL, I’ll put on the Bravest Face, knowing I’m letting go some of my real RUSH treasures!!L!!

What would really be Madrigal, would be selling to someone like TOM SAWYER, who, lets FACE UP to it, he’s NOBODY’S HERO, but at least he understood the true meaning of LOSING IT, or better still, what it means to Fly By Night to YYZ, (volcanic ash permitting)!! True RUSH fans will too, its SECOND NATURE!

So if, like me, you or your friends need a little PANACEA, why not make it your MISSION to take a L@@K, or even TAKE A FRIEND to L@@K at what’s on offer. SHOW DON’T TELL them how to spend their BIG MONEY on something spRUSHial! Alternatively, you could just CUT TO THE CHASE, indulge yourself in a little malignant narcissism and start Workin’ Them Angles to help me escape from this ALIEN SHORE. Go on, STICK IT OUT, do as CINDERELLA MAN would and see what you can do with my collection of rare RUSH offerings!!

Don’t RESIST, just spin THE BIG WHEEL. You know there’s always a GHOST OF A CHANCE you can bring a little LIMELIGHT into my COLD FIRE. In The End, if your bid is lacking in VITAL SIGNS or you’re beaten by the COUNTDOWN, you risk LOSING IT!! Your EVERYDAY GLORY will be a FAR CRY from ENTRE NOUS, cos everyone will know. Then the EMOTION DETECTOR really will detect BIG TEARS ~ but probably just mine L!

Remember, you don’t get SOMETHING FOR NOTHING, but with a CEILING UNLIMITED and providing CIRCUMSTANCES prevail, so long as you don’t FREEZE or go into LIMBO, IN THE END your winning bid will be like ONE LITTLE VICTORY!!

So TURN THE PAGE(s), demonstrate your FREEWILL, take a look at what’s on offer and make this not so hard WORKING FAN  a happier MAN by bidding the BEST I CAN to get CLOSER TO THE HEART of all his things RUSH!!

This auction, you are bidding for: ~

The

“MOTHER OF ALL”

RUSH 45’s

You are bidding on an EXTREMELY RARE 1973

1st cover single Rush ever released on their own Canadian MOON RECORDS label

NOT FADE AWAY

On

Moon Records

MN 001 - 1973

Moon Records/SRO Productions Ltd

Stunning, Classic, Rare as Hell!!!

Since their formation in 1969, it took the original members of Rush, Alex, Geddy and John Rutsey, (Neil Peart’s predecessor) 5 years before releasing their debut album. Unable to secure a record company deal, the band decided to form their own record label called MOON RECORDS. Their cover version of the 1957 Buddy Holly record “Not Fade Away” (later released by The Rolling Stones), was released in 1973. The flip side carries the song “You Can’t Fight It” and was engineered by their original producer David Stock. Only 1,000 copies were ever pressed world-wide!

(This is one of those original 1000 copies)

Vinyl description:

The thick vinyl I would describe visually as EXCELLENT. There are no visible scratches on either side and both side play through perfectly. The pale blue labels are free from any writing but there is some label loss where additional non-original stickers have been removed, (see photos). Audibly this single sounds fantastic on a good turntable. Best played at maximum volume!

Sleeve description:

The original plain white paper sleeve, although a little grubby and fingered, is still completely intact with no writing, tears, or  vandalism. An excellent example of this VERY RARE classic rock cover single.

See the photos and judge for yourself.

If you are anything like me, you probably want to keep this record preserved in its original cover. Being one of only 1000 copies world-wide, (and the number still in existence is likely much fewer than that), this record deserves a seriously good home to an authentic Rush record collector!!

I have, I trust, been very honest about the quality of this EXTREMELY RARE 7” single. The flaws described are accurate to a fault, and in my opinion do not really detract from this record being one VERY SPECIAL & VERY COLLECTABLE SINGLE. If you have never owned one before, here is your chance!! They don’t come up very often and you will not be disappointed.
