Notes:

    "We don't really have hits...It's more 'All The Songs That Were Not Hits' by Rush, ha-ha!" - Geddy Lee, ClassicRockMagazine.com, February 12, 2009

    "'We don't have a lot of disagreements,' Lee says about the selection process. 'We're ridiculously sensible. We sent a few e-mails and everyone said, "Sure, thumbs up." It was painless.'" - Entertainment Weekly, March 20, 2009

  • Retrospective III debuted at #47 on the Soundscan chart, with just over 10,000 units sold the first week.
  • The first official compilation from the 7 studio albums from the Atlantic years (1989-2008), Retrospective III was released as both a single CD edition as well as a CD+DVD edition.
  • Official Press Release, January 16, 2009
  • While previous Rush compilations offered a fairly even distribution in the number of tracks per album being represented, that cannot be said of Retrospective 3. Of the six original studio albums represented, while 4 of the 10 tracks from the album Roll The Bones are included here, there is only one from Test For Echo. It can be assumed that this was done in the name of offering something "previously unreleased", as early rumors of this compilation mentioned it would include one or more "unreleased live tracks". However, the performance of "Ghost Of A Chance" included here actually was previously released on disk 3 of the Snakes & Arrows Live DVD, in the "Oh Atlanta" section.
  • The Official Press Release confirms that this live version of "Ghost Of A Chance" was recorded July 22, 2008, in Atlanta, Georgia.
