Description Celebrating 40 years of Rush’s Permanent Waves, the Super Deluxe Edition will feature two CDs, three 180-gram audiophile black vinyl LPs and a 40-page hardcover book filled with reimagined artwork by original album designer Hugh Syme, unreleased photos from the band’s archive and an exclusive twelve-thousand plus word essay. The Abbey Road Mastering Studios 2015 album remaster is made available on CD for the first time. CD 2 is loaded with unreleased bonus live tracks from three stops on the Permanent Waves World Tour 1980: Manchester Apollo, Manchester, England; Hammersmith Odeon, London, England; and Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis, Missouri, all newly mixed by the band’s longtime producer Terry Brown. Permanent Waves is the band’s first of many iconic visits to Le Studio recording studio in Morin Heights, Quebec which has been nicknamed Rush’s Abbey Road Studios. A blank sheet of Le Studio letterhead was newly discovered, so the first of many collectibles included is a 20-page 5”x7” Le Studio notepad. The two replica tour programs represent the official Permanent Waves World Tour 1980 program and with the inclusion of U.K. performances the very rare, unofficial The Words & Pictures Volume II UK-only tour program is included. The Super Deluxe Edition’s finishing touches feature 3 band member replica backstage laminates, a 24”x36” double-sided poster showcasing the original album cover model and photos of each band member recording at Le Studio, and three Neil Peart handwritten lyric sheets for “The Spirit Of Radio,” “Entre Nous” and “Natural Science.” Permanent Waves is the band’s first departure from in-depth, ten-minute plus conceptual song crafting and is deemed as a poignant moment they reinvented themselves and their sound. “We’ve taken it (the conceptual album) to its logical limit and it’s time to do something else,” remarked Geddy Lee. To further reinvent themselves, the band opted to record at Le Studio in Quebec which has been highly credited in the evolution of the Rush sound and would soon become their home away from home for future albums to come. Giving birth to two of the band’s most important songs in their stable, “The Spirit Of Radio” along with “Freewill” offered fans a long overdue experience: regular radio play. Additionally, the album features the cinematic “Jacob’s Ladder,” the album’s third single “Entre Nous,” the Geddy Lee lyric penned “Different Strings” and the barometer for pure progressive rock “Natural Science.” [tracklisting][CD1] 1.

Only up at Amazon UK so far, USA and Canada links coming soon. Universal's initial solicitation says the big Super Deluxe box will include CDs and vinyl (no mention of a Blu-ray). Here's one of the included live tracks:VIDEO

The shame here is the multi tracks are missing so their won’t be a 5.1 mix.
Hopefully with the 40th anniversary of Moving Pictures coming up, they will do a new 5.1 on that album and get Steven Wilson involved.

All pre-order links in the first post are now active! The Super Deluxe box will consist of two CDs and three LPs, plus a lot of memorabilia (described in the first post). The vinyl version includes one extra live track that isn't available on CD. Collectors who don't care about vinyl or the extras can opt for the humbler 2CD Deluxe Edition.

The artwork for this is horrible. Easy pass for me as with the last couple Rush deluxe editions....I've bought the original albums enough and the bonus material for these releases has been less than exciting. Hard to believe they could find a complete, quality live show for this and instead have to hodge-podge a mixture of stuff from several different shows.

I'll definitely get this, because the series has been nice, if lacking. Rush never left anything in the vaults. These remasters from Abbey Road have been the best-sounding Rush I've ever heard. Why not include the full St. Louis show though? I've had that for years in fantastic quality.
