Back in November, we reported that Rush's album Counterparts was being re-released by Audio Fidelity in the SACD format. The SACD format, or Super Audio CD was first introduced back in 1999 as a successor to the audio CD; claiming to offer a better audio dynamics, more channels (e.g. surround sound), and a longer playing time than a standard CD. While the format never gained much traction, a small market still exists, serving the audiophile community.

This mark's Audio Fidelity's first Rush SACD releases since the release of their Roll The Bones Gold CD back in August of 2011.

The original announcement indicated that the album would be released in December, but now it has been confirmed with a release date of January 22nd, 2013 on Amazon.Com.
