Kev Schmev (and anyone else who cares), this is for you. (You can't hang this on Alex -- this time.)

I'll probably start getting excited about Clockwork Angels when it's in my hands. There are SO many other things to be excited about at the moment.
This really doesn't excite me either (although it was a little more that I was expecting...I suppose they thought that they should start offering at least a carrot or two with these), but i'm sure some of you will be taking the plunge.
From Rushisaband:
On November 21st, Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) celebrates the legacy of Canadian rock trio Rush with the release of three separate six-disc box sets which together spans their entire historic Mercury Records recording career.
Each 'Sector' contains five of their 15 Mercury albums in chronological order, all transferred to high resolution 96kHz/24-bit and digitally remastered for optimal quality.
In addition, each volume includes an exclusive booklet packed with unpublished photos, original album lyrics and credits, and features one album from each set specially remixed on DVD in high resolution 96kHz/24-bit, 5.1 surround sound and stereo, compatible with both DVD-Audio players and DVD-Video players.
Each album is packaged in a replica vinyl mini-jacket of the original album release with all three box sets forming a Rush CD road case.
SECTOR 1: Rush - All The World's A Stage, and on DVD in 5.1, Fly By Night
SECTOR 2: A Farewell To Kings - Exit Stage Left, and on DVD in 5.1, A Farewell To Kings
SECTOR 3: Signals - A Show Of Hands, and on DVD in 5.1, Signals
I'll admit I'm a little curious about this, but I'll be waiting for a heavy discount.
I'd be interested to know if the band either oversaw or signed off on these mixes. It's possible that Rich Chycki did them a few years back (when Vapor Trails was rumored to be done) and they've been sitting in the can.
