Transcript: "All The World's A Stage Press Kit" - Mercury Records, 1976

Today's transcript is the "All The World's A Stage Press Kit" published by Mercury Records, 1976. This is the brief bio sheet which was sent with promotional copies of the album. What is interesting is that this press release is very specific in stating that the Mercury release of Rush's debut album was four days before Rush's first U.S. show of the debut tour. We know that show was August 14th, 1974, which leads to a release date of August 10, 1974. This is closest "official" data I have ever found regarding that album's release date.
