The Super Deluxe Edition includes 3 x CDs, 1 x Blue-ray Audio Disc and 4 x high-quality 180 gram vinyl LPs. The set encompasses the Abbey Road Re-mastering Studios 2015 re-mastered edition of the album for the first time on CD; a complete Rush concert recorded in February 1978 at London's Hammersmith Odeon, newly remixed by Rush's long-time engineer and original 'A Farewell To Kings' producer Terry Brown from the multi-track live tapes; four newly-recorded cover versions of songs from the original album by Dream Theater, Big Wreck, The Trews and Alain Johannes; and an instrumental studio-outtake of the spacey sound effects the band has creatively titled 'Cygnus X-2 Eh'. Meanwhile, the Blu-ray Audio disc contains a brand new 5.1 surround mix of the album by four-time Grammy nominated surround sound producer Steven Wilson, along with 3 original 1977 promo. videos from a newly-found 2-inch quad video master significantly improving the video quality for 'Closer To The Heart'.

Also included are several exclusive items, including a unique King's Ring, with custom velvet pouch and neck chain; two lithographs with original artwork by Hugh Syme; a special 12" turntable mat featuring distinctive artwork by Hugh Syme; and a reproduction of Rush's original 1978 'A Farewell To Kings' tour program.
