Website Scheme Update: "Rush Through Time"

It's time for a change, and today we offer up a new website scheme based on Mercury's compilation Rush Through Time. Rush Through Time is a compilation album first released by Mercury Records outside of North America in early 1979, following the release of Hemispheres the previous October.

Although the exact release date is unknown, it was advertised as early as May 1979.  Originally released as a picture disc, the album was repressed on black vinyl in 1981, with additional pressings in the next few years in various countries around the world.  Check it out on ebay.
Tracklist: Fly By Night, Making Memories, Bastille Day, Something For Nothing, Cinderella Man, Anthem, Overture/The Temples of Syrinx, The Twilight Zone, Best I Can, Closer To The Heart, In The End
"Released entirely without our knowledge or consent (not that they need it), and certainly contains nothing of any interest - not even the cover, and certainly not that title. We wouldn't do that. Have you noticed that everyone puns with our name except us?" - Neil Peart

  1. I remember seeing this as a kid in a record store, but I didn't end up buying it. I actually like the front cover photo...but beyond that, it's typical Mercury, looking to get in as much money-grubbing as they can....
