Bill Griffin: My first Rush album. Rush was a band that, up through Signals at least, got better with every release. A Farewell To Kings is one of a handful of albums that friends introduced me to in my teens and which ignited my life long love of all forms of rock music. This is the album that nurtured an ability in me to appreciate the more complex and challenging - and hence rewarding - style of rock music.

A Farewell to Kings was remastered for vinyl in 2015 by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios as a part of the official "12 Months of Rush" promotion.

I’ve yet to look at it and start finding fault with it, pick it apart, you kno. t still sounds so positive.
