Hi all.

Many years ago I was in Birmingham browsing in a record shop where they were playing Rush's "Finding My Way". So I asked for the album and bought it BUT at the same time I bought another album from a UK band also called Rush (I think they were based in the Birmingham area) but over time I lost that album and am now trying to trace it or the band. Anyone recall them?

Brgds.

He's not visited the site since he posted this, lots of people do that (not just here). Strange.

I know - I remembered the thread as it took me about half an hour of digging around to find what I think may be the relevant information.

I remember seeing another band on Rate Your Music called Rush but I thought they were American. Then of course there's also Mahogany Rush who were Canadian like the well known Rush.

This particular Rush based in the UK Midlands it seems very little is known about them - all I could find was that reference at Discogs, after going through around a dozen acts using the name 'Rush'.
