Signals (40th Anniversary)[Super Deluxe LP/CD/Blu-ray Audio/4 x 7"]

As other's have said, there is nothing new here except the Atmos mix, which I don't have a proper setup to test. However, the new 5.1 mix is a big improvement over the DVD-A included with the Sector 3 box set- far more immersive.The real buying point here is the new artwork which looks super cool and is very high quality production- especially the 7" artwork!I don't know if we'll see any new boxes for the remaining albums, but Signals certainly deserves to have its 40th celebrated. The only issue here is the box costs twice as much as it should given that there's no new audio or archival material. At half it's current price, this would be a great buy but completists (guilty as charged) will pay for it anyway

Glad to see they did not waste time, effort and material with unnecessary stuff like in the Moving Pictures box. Great new art, decent remaster, but inconsequential 5.1 mix. Whoever did the surround mix is of course no Steven Wilson, it could have been much better but I guess something is better than nothing.This box made remember how much I love this album. It contains some of Neil Peart best drumming and definitively changed the musical direction of the band who leaned on synth and keyboards like never before.So this is a happy fan for deluxe treatment of my favorite Rush albums P.W., M.P. and Signals.

Rush - The best rock band ever! This is the newest of their Super Deluxe Box Sets and it’s awesome as expected. Looking forward to the next one!

As a near 50 year fan now, there’s nothing really new here. It’s cool to see new artwork. IMO this marks the end of the 1976-1982 era in which Rush could do no wrong. I’d have been satisfied with one more concert of that era only. But we all know the situation.I guess I just miss seeing them. 53x was my magic number. July 25, 2015 in Vegas was my final concert.Peace to all.

I own all of the Rush anniversary box sets so I knew I’d be purchasing this one as well. Many have complained that the absence of any type of live recording, especially at this price point, was a deal breaker for them. I have to say, once I opened this set, any doubt as to the value of my decision to purchase was completely forgotten. If there was one word I’d use to describe it, it would be “luxurious.” Every nuance and every detail screams quality. I especially like the lenticular portraits - they’re translucent so when you hold them to the light they glow with an eerie luminance. The packaging is so gorgeous and the new illustrations - which are numerous - are wonderful; perhaps some of the best of the series. This is exactly what it’s intended to be, an anniversary celebration of a remarkable album - price be damned.

Picture is not as defined as I thought it would be, but is good. Record sounded good and that's what matters. Is more a novelty record anyway, since already have regular copy of album.

Awesome boxed set, lots of awesome artwork and the Atmos edit is decent. Was perfect except the scratch on the LP :-( Hopefully I can get a replacement from the seller and not have to box up the whole thing to exchange.

Docked one star b/c it came in a (heavy duty) plastic sleeve only which caught me by surprise. No record jacket, no insert, nothing. Just the vinyl and a big red sticker on the plastic sleeve.Sounds good though.

Great record but bad background noise at start and end of vynil album

I've been a huge Rush fan since the 1970s and have snapped up most of the 40th anniversary super deluxe editions- I missed the full fat 2112, but did get one of the cut down sets. Signals was a big album for me when it came out and it had a distinctly different feel to its predecessors, marking the increased use of synthesisers. It was, and is a great album. The live shows I saw in London were incredibleOrdering the 40th anniversary super deluxe was a no-brainer, since they do go up in value quite quickly and are very collectable. This one is different though. No live tracks from the era, no facsimile tour programme, no sleeve notes and nothing in the box that amounts to a proper 'curio' like the others.The Dolby Atmos mix is a bit disappointing with vocals appearing way down in the mix for me. The versions of the songs are definitely different though, with vocal phrasing on Subdivisions giving an alternative emphasis on some words. The intro to Countdown is different with the drum pattern taking a noticeably louder place in the mix than I'm used to.The 2015 CD mix doesn't sound dramatically different, but is a tad louder throughout and actually a bit better than the the Atmos mix in my opinion.The visuals throughout the album - if you have a TV on - are great though and add a bit of extra interest while listening, and Hugh Syme's revised artwork throughout is first rate.All in all, the music speaks for itself and remains as before - a great album. But the overall package is underwhelming compare to previous releases. The outtake photos don't amount to much for me and although the vinyl extras are interesting they don't make up for an overall lack of additional 'previously unreleased' content that we've become used to in other releases.It needed a live album or some alternate versions to justify the price - which is very steep for what it is.For completists only I think.

As expected, an excellent recording. Great artwork. Just a shame it came in a plastic sleeve rather than the full cover.

I am a huge Rush fan and of course I needed the next 40th Anniversary edition. The 5.1 mix is amazing and the repressing of the album is fantastic. The only thing I was disappointed with was that there were no live lps included and the 7” singles were a nice have but I would have preferred live content as was included in previous 40th Anniversary editions. Moving Pictures and A Farewell to Kings were very nice offerings. Hope the next 40th release is announced soon!

A fair amount of surface noise.
