Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Road Apples, one of the most iconic albums from legendary Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip. Working directly with all members of the band, those who worked behind the scenes, and devoted fans, the 30th anniversary deluxe edition of Road Apples is a deep dive behind the scenes of what made this album one of the most beloved in The Tragically Hip's deep catalogue.
This Deluxe Edition Contains 5LPs including: The original album re-mastered in 2021 by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in Nashville; Saskadelphia, as released earlier in 2021; Live At The Roxy Los Angeles, May 3rd 1991, originally recorded for a Westwood One radio show and often bootlegged, and has been sought after by fans for many years. It has been re-mastered, expanded and includes the much sought after 'Killer Whale Tank' version of "New Orleans Is Sinking". The legendary Roxy show is now a double vinyl album; and Hoof-Hearted, an album of previously unreleased demos, outtakes and alternate versions.
