I've included with the purchase of this box set my copy of The Making of A Farewell to Kings by FANTOONS that chronicles the notorious story of how one of the most influential rock bands of all-time came to envision, write, and record their ground-breaking fifth studio album: A Farewell to Kings. 


Walked into a party at a guys apartment in 1976 and 2112 was on the turntable.  I had never heard any Rush at that point but became a huge fan at that moment.  Saw them 19 times, got in the photo pit at a Test for Echo show in Phoenix and interviewed Alex on the phone for the Instrumentals of Rock radio show I produced in the mid 90's.
