In essence, it is a European issue of the Mercury US DJ-Promo disc Everything Your Listeners Ever Wanted To Hear By Rush But You Were Afraid To Play from 1976, but replacing two songs from Caress of Steel with two songs from A Farewell to Kings.

The album was subsequently repackaged as a standard vinyl album with a colour sleeve and updated graphics on the back cover in 1981. According to Rush drummer Neil Peart, the album was issued by the German branch of Polygram Records without the band's input.
