In A Tidewater Surge Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I just came across this: QUOTE 17:What was the first single released by the band? The A side was a cover of a Buddy Holly song called "Not Fade Away." The B side was a Lee/Rutsey song called "You Can't Fight It." These songs are not on any Rush albums. If you want to hear them, you have to track down a copy of the single, which is very rare, or find somebody who has the songs on tape. There is no collection for sale that contains these tracks. Or you could theoretically find it somewhere on the Gnutella network, but I would never suggest violating the copyrights of a company that was a member of such a fine organization as the RIAA and was wondering if anybody had digital copies of these songs? I'm eager to have a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Back in 1973 it was a fairly commonly held belief that you can't fight it, but as we all know now, you actually can fight it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I know many will think I'm crazy, but I think this is the best original song Rush ever released in 1973. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
