Rush and MoFi Launch Audiophile Reissue Series

Canadian rock icons Rush are teaming up with Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi) to bring 11 of their most influential albums from the 1970s and 1980s back to listeners in high-fidelity formats.

This multi-year collaboration marks a significant milestone for the band. While MoFi has released a few Rush titles in the past, this project is the first time the band's entire studio catalog from their tenure with Mercury Records will be available as dedicated, standalone audiophile editions. The campaign kicks off this summer with the release of Fly by Night (1975) and A Farewell to Kings (1977), both of which are currently available for pre-order through MoFi's official website.

Jim Davis, the owner of Mobile Fidelity, emphasized the importance of this project, stating that the company is treating these records with the utmost respect to ensure fans receive the definitive listening experience these legendary albums deserve.

The technical process behind these reissues is equally rigorous. MoFi mastering engineer Rob LoVerde described the effort as a "forensic expedition", noting that the team is meticulously reviewing and "autopsying" original source materials to achieve the highest possible audio quality. LoVerde expressed his excitement about giving the band's extensive history the high-end treatment it has long deserved.

Following the initial summer releases, the band's self-titled 1974 debut is scheduled to arrive this fall. MoFi plans to continue the series in generally chronological order, promising that fans can expect a steady stream of Rush releases continuing into 2027. For both lifelong followers and new listeners, this series offers a rare opportunity to experience the complex musicianship of Rush with unprecedented clarity and detail.
