STOP THE PRESSES: RUSH RELEASE AN ALTERNATE VERSION OF "WORKING MAN"

Yes, another Rush post. They've just released an alternate version of "Working Man," from their self titled debut album which came out in 1974. Originally they just released it for Rock Band, but due to fan demand, released it as a single on iTunes.

Back in the days when every band with a history was getting the box set treatment, Geddy Lee said that there was probably no Rush box set in the works, simply because they recorded every track for albums, didn't do b-sides, and didn't have many alternate versions of songs. But someone found this version of "Working Man" with a different guitar solo. Rush also recently appeared on the excellent show The Colbert Report, which was pretty funny.
