UMe/Mercury and Anthem Records are behind the paired release, which extends the band’s archival catalogue while its Fifty Something Tour continues.
Rush’s two vinyl releases arrive on 2 October
Both records arrive on 2 October 2026, giving the release day a dual focus. The 2112 edition uses black liquid vinyl and a die-cut cover, while the compilation reaches vinyl for the first time.
Big Country News confirms that both editions will ship on 2 October 2026. uDiscover details the vinyl editions as releases from UMe/Mercury and Anthem Records.
The two editions extend Rush’s recorded catalogue
The pairing connects a major studio-album anniversary with a collection that surveys the band’s recorded work. It also places a distinctive physical edition of 2112 beside a first vinyl presentation of The Spirit of Radio: Greatest Hits 1974-1987.
The compilation comes in two vinyl configurations. One is a two-LP edition, while the other is a shorter retail edition, giving the title more than one physical format without changing its central track selection.
Rush’s catalogue meets the Fifty Something live return
The release arrives alongside Rush’s live return under the Fifty Something name. The touring line-up brings Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson together with drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold.
That combination gives the 2 October 2026 release a clear link to the band’s present activity. 2112 represents the anniversary edition, while The Spirit of Radio: Greatest Hits 1974-1987 presents a broader view of the catalogue in vinyl form.
