ALEX LIFESON & GEDDY LEE To Reissue Their Solo Albums

It ain’t new Rush, but it might be new to some people! Rush‘s Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee have teamed up with Anthem Records to reissue the duo’s first-ever solo albums – Lifeson‘s 1996 album Victor and Lee‘s 2000 offering My Favourite Headache will be re-released on August 9, 2024, in various formats, including a range of vinyl configurations.

Victor, originally released on January 9, 1996, marks Alex Lifeson‘s solo debut. Lifeson took on the roles of songwriter, producer, and mixer for this album. For the first time, Victor will be available on vinyl, featuring a complete remix by Lifeson himself to enhance the audio quality.

The fourth side of the album includes four instrumental tracks previously exclusive to Lifeson‘s website. Guest artists include lead vocalist Edwin from I Mother Earth, Primus bassist Les Claypool, and Canadian powerhouse vocalist Lisa Dalbello. The 15-song collection is paired with striking 2024 reimagined artwork by Fantoons Animation Studios.

My Favourite Headache, Geddy Lee‘s only solo album to date, was initially released on November 14, 2000. This reissue marks its first vinyl pressing since a limited-edition Record Store Day exclusive in 2019.

The fourth side of the album features two instrumental mixes. Produced by Lee, Ben Mink, and David Leonard, the album includes contributions from Mink and drummers Matt Cameron (Soundgarden, Pearl Jam) and Jeremy Taggart (Our Lady Peace).
