''Everything Your Listeners Ever Wanted to Hear by Rush...But You Were Afraid to Play'' is a rare, promo-only LP by Canadian rock band Rush, serviced to American radio stations in early 1977. Compiled by Rush's then-U.S. label Mercury, it features an AOR sampling of tracks from the band's second, third, and fourth albums, bypassing selections from their 1974 debut. Rush's first album had received substantial airplay from FM stations, but their subsequent LP's hadn't fared as well at radio, partly due to both the increasing length and complex nature of the material. 2112 had become a surprise success in 1976, but still hadn't garnered much airplay. Additionally, the band were working on their fifth studio album to be released later in 1977, so presumably the compilation was intended to promote some of the more radio-friendly cuts from the albums in between.〔(Rush Chronological History )〕 (Incidentally, the album's back cover features a blurb from Circus magazine with the headline "'Closer To The Heart' Will Be The Group's Sixth LP".) Though no rare material is included, two songs were excerpted from their corresponding full-length suites: "Overture/The Temples of Syrinx" from 2112's title cut, and "Bacchus Plateau" from Caress of Steel's The Fountain of Lamneth. The basic tracklist was later used for the 1979 German compilation Rush Through Time, but substituting the then-more recent and popular cuts "Cinderella Man" and "Closer to the Heart", for "Lakeside Park" and "Bacchus Plateau", respectively. ==Tracklisting== Side 1: # Fly by Night - 3:25 # Making Memories - 2:56 # Bastille Day - 4:36 # Something for Nothing - 4:03 # Lakeside Park - 4:10 # Anthem - 4:22 # Side 2: # Overture/The Temples of Syrinx - 6:47 # The Twilight Zone - 3:20 # Best I Can - 3:26 # Bacchus Plateau - 3:16 # In the End - 6:50 # # 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Everything Your Listeners Ever Wanted to Hear by Rush...
