RUSH "Hemispheres" Picture Disc! SEALED! Original Mercury Pressing. Collector's item! As the album is still sealed, the record is presumably new and has never been played. A virgin disc. Shrink-wrap is a little "bubbly" in places but is intact with no tears. Has a Peaches Record store price sticker for $7.98. That might could be removed but we didn't want to risk damaging the shrink-wrap. Album was amongst numerous albums we have and was long forgotten until we were looking for something else yesterday. Hemispheres is the sixth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in October 1978 by Anthem Records. After touring to support the band's previous release, A Farewell to Kings, during which the group gained popularity in the UK, Rush started work on their next album. As with the band's previous studio album, Hemispheres was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire and Trident Studios in London with longtime engineer and arranger, Terry Brown. Rush continued its progressive rock sound with the side-long "Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres" and the nine-minute instrumental "La Villa Strangiato", which was the band's first instrumental piece. Hemispheres received acclaim from music critics. It reached number 14 in Canada and the UK, and number 41 in the United States. The album's two shorter tracks, "Circumstances" and "The Trees" were released as singles in early 1979. In 1993, the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling one million copies.
