Description
To promote Rush's 1981 Live album, "Exit Stage Left," Mercury Records sent this promo-only vinyl album to radio stations to use in contests to give away copies of the full album, posters, t-shirts, etc. Listeners call the station and guessed which of six songs would play when the disc jockey dropped the needle on the vinyl.
This copy has never been played. It has been stored upright on a library-style album shelf since 1981.
The text on the cover reads:
RUSH 'N' ROULETTE
featuring excerpts of 6 tracks taken from Rush's platinum plus album "Exit Stage Left"
- A Passage To Bangkok
- Closer To The Heart
- Red Barchetta
- The Spirit Of Radio
- Tom Sawyer
- The Trees
Why Rush 'n' Roulette? Simply place your tone arm on the edge of this record as you would normally do, and when you let Rush 'n' Roulette spin there's an equal chance that any of the six featured Rush songs will be heard. This is a unique mastering process causing a completely random song occurrence. In other words, "We have assumed control".
Let it spin and enjoy the music.
This complimentary record is provided through the courtesy of Rush and Polygram records.
Mastered by Ray Haggerty at Sound Wave Recording Studios
