Rush – Chronicles (Double-CD)

Chronicles is a double compilation album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1990. The collection was the band's first album to be released in the 1990s, though it was assembled without the participation of the band. Though the band has since released four more albums on Atlantic Records, this double-disc set was the original, definitive Rush anthology, spanning the band's entire 15-year, 16-album relationship with Mercury Records. In fact, this set is virtually perfect, clearly illustrating the Canadian power trio's evolution From Cream/Zeppelin enthusiasts into a ground-breaking, progressive hard rock unit. Acclaimed classics like Finding My Way, Fly by Night, A Passage to Bangkok, Closer to the Heart, The Spirit of Radio, and Tom Sawyerare interspersed with less-well-known, but equally vital tracks like Bastille Day,  La Villa Strangiato, Limelight, Subdivisions, and Red Sector A to paint a literal moving picture (pun intended) of the band's career. As a testament to Its excellence, Mercury was incapable of improving upon this package when releasing the nearly identical retrospective six years later on two separate CDs.
