Geddy Lee's 'The Lost Demos' to be released as a 12" single during this year's Record Store Day event

Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1400 independently-owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally. The first Record Store Day took place on April 19, 2008. Today, Record Store Day is celebrated at independently-owned brick-and-mortar record stores around the world.

For this year's event, which takes place on Saturday April 12th, 2025, Geddy Lee will be releasing his previously announced The Lost Demos' single on a 12 inch vinyl record. From the annoucement:

Event: RECORD STORE DAY 2025
Release Date: 4/12/2025
Format: 12" Single
Label: Rhino
Quantity: 3500
Release type: RSD Exclusive Release


For Record Store Day 2025, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee and Rush lead vocalist, bassist, and keyboardist Geddy Lee releases The Lost Demos, two previously unreleased solo songs. Lee originally recorded this pair of demos, “Gone” and “I Am… You Are”, during the writing sessions for his 2000 solo debut, My Favorite Headache. With the help of producer/engineer David Bottrill, he has unearthed them for the first time, properly mixed and mastered. Commenting on the project, Geddy said “I’m excited to see these two “lost demos” released - I loved the songs when they were written and in some ways they feel as fresh and perhaps more relevant all these years later.” Both songs conjure the spirit of the classic My Favorite Headache, which originally arrived on November 14, 2000.

Tracklist
Side A: Gone
Side B: I Am…You Are
