Sectors is a three-volume compilation of Rush's historic 15 album run on Mercury Records from 1974 to 1989, broken down into three separate box sets.

Over four-plus decades, Canadian power trio Rush (bassist/keyboardist/vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and drummer Neil Peart) emerged as one of rock's most celebrated and enduring bands. Rush garnered a large and devoted fan following among hard rock, heavy metal, and prog audiences almost from the beginning. They sold over 40 million records and were nominated for seven Grammys between 1981-2010; they also netted 25 gold and/or platinum albums, and all but three entered the upper half of the Top 200. After 1981's chart-topping Moving Pictures, they began a seven-year period where their recorded sound was dominated by Lee's synth playing that culminated on 1989's Presto. During the '90s, they shifted toward a hooky and radio-friendly brand of hard rock, best exemplified by 1996's Test for Echo. During their final period, they delivered studio offerings that fused heavy and prog in new ways.

LEGENDARY 1994 BROADCAST SHOW FROM THE COUNTERPARTS TOUR Rush s 1993 release Counterparts, released in October, reached No.2 on the US Billboard Chart. The album reverted back to the band s guitar based sound, dropping the synth-led style they had experimented with in the late 1980s. Rush supported Counterparts with a four-month tour, playing dates arranged in United States and Canada, which kicked off January 22, 1994 at the Civic Center in Pensacola, Florida, and culminated on May 7 at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. One of the very best shows played during the tour was the one they played at Dane County Coliseum in Madison, Wisconsin on 2nd April. Recorded for live FM Radio Broadcast, and featuring a fine set-list with both new tracks from the recent albums and a host of classics, the concert was a quite dynamic event that is regularly voted one of the groups finest concerts of the decade. Previously unreleased on disc, the full concert is now finally available on this new 2CD set, providing many Rush fans an opportunity to hear this extraordinary mid-90s performance for the first time.

Rush’s 1981 album Moving Pictures is being reissued for its (belated) 40th anniversary in April.

This is the first time that this must-own set is being offered together as a hi-res download. It features the following studio albums by the legendary Canadian trio: Presto, Roll The Bones, Counterparts, Test For Echo, Vapor Trails, Feedback and Snakes & Arrows. The band is one of the most successful rock groups of the 70s and 80s with 24 Gold and 14 Platinum records. Mastered by Andy Van Dette from Masterdisk from the original masters through analog console, equalizers and compressors before being recaptured at 96kHz.
