3 stars A Rush single from 1977, contains "Twilight Zone" and "Lessons" clocking in at a total of about 7 minutes and some change. 2 decent songs from the classic period of Rush, although it is worthwhile to get the albums from this period rather than just singles. Rush is not and never has been a singles band. Apparently this one is pretty rare and collectors might like to locate it. I sold my copy so can't help you. Overall, just for collectors but pretty good tunes and recording. Can't not like it. 2 1/2 to 3 stars easily given to this release. 2 1/2 stars

2 stars Rush singles were a big thing when vinyl was king and if you can lay your mittens on this early single more power to ya; as its almost impossible to track down. Luckily Australia still revels in second hand vinyl specialty stores, and when this gem sat in the rack staring back at me sadly for a pretty price, I naturally had to indulge.

Okay, of course I had the songs on "2112", no respective Rushaholic would be without that classy album, but it is nice to hold onto such a relic. 'The Twilight Zone' was never one of my faves on that album but still has the classic Rush sound when they were a power trio and as fresh as a daisy. The music is dynamic and exciting when Rush were at their proggiest and their early years are essential. Certainly the album is quintessential but as a single there is still value on grabbing these early vinyls for collectors. The flip side 'Lessons' is a throwaway but not too bad all things considered. Collectors only, but what a find if you can locate this vinyl antique.
