First Rush is the debut album by American comedian Chris Rush.[1] The album was released in 1973 on Atlantic Records. Originally on LP and 8 track, the album was re-released as a digital download in 2009 by Comedy Spotlight.
"First Rush" is a reference to the state of euphoria one may have after the intake of an opiate. This is known commonly as a Rush.
Shorter promotional flexi discs titled, "This Is Your First Rush" were placed in the July '73 issue of National Lampoon Magazine, where Rush was an original contributing writer and editor from 1970-1973.[2]
It was marketed as, "The Cosmic Comedy of Chris Rush" which was written on the back cover.
