Transcript: "Rush Rock Sound Crisp And Strong" - Ottawa Citizen, May 30, 1974

To celebrate Rush Day, I've transcribed the earliest known Rush press that has ever surfaced; this is nearly 39 years old!  "Rush Rock Sound Crisp And Strong", is a review of the original MOON release of Rush's debut album, as reviewed by the Ottawa Citizen, May 30, 1974.  Included is the summation "Rush are definitely brash and unseasoned around the edges but the hard core potential - the willingness to let the notes fall where they may and stand proud - is exciting."  I couldn't agree more. - Thanks to Mark Rosenthal for the original article.
