The Tragically Hip - We Are the Same I could have sworn I had already made a post about this album but I couldn't find it 🤔 Regardless, it's worth two posts. This and In Between Evolution are the most underrated entries in the Hip catalog. I find it almost ironic that what I would consider to be the most Canadiana sounding Hip album is hardly mentioned. One of the few universals across Canada is vast wilderness and this album captures it. It reminds me of driving through New Brunswick surrounded by woods until you randomly come across a scenic factory or plant buried on a hill by a lake. Or at least that's what I picture hearing the opening lines of this album. Then of course there's Country Day, Coffee Girl, and The Last Recluse reminding us that a small town can not be small if it's not surrounded by much. The Depression Suite being The Hip's longest tune has always solicited a strong reaction from me but especially now I want to respond to the line "what if this song does nothing?" With "it's done everything" . . . . . #TheTragicallyHip #WeAreTheSame #GordDownie #GordSinclair #RobBaker #PaulLanglois #JohnnyFay #vinyl #records #nowplaying #nowspinning #Thelinernotes #albumart #vinyligclub #recordcollector #vinylgeek #recordcollection #vinyladdiction #albumart #vinylcollectionpost #records_feature
The Tragically Hip - The Tragically Hip I've been pretty busy with work lately but as you can imagine this page is about to go full Gord/Hip over the next little while. I've already posted most of their discography but there are still a few left, a new Gord solo album and two new pressings of Coke Machine Glow and Battle of the Nudes on the horizon. Let's start at the beginning. Here's what started it all (well actually they had already been hard on the road for a few years). This is the sound of a Canadian bar band. In a sense it's an 80s response to The Hawks. Their teeth have been cut by Southern Ontario and the surrounding areas. This EP sounds a little more unique than what was to come because The song writing wasn't as split between the band as it would be on later records. Also Gord Downie wasn't the main lyricist at this time either. That being said there are some big tunes on here. I'm a Werewolf, Baby, Small Town Bringdown, All Canadian Surf Club to name a few . . . . . #TheTragicallyHip #GordDownie #RobBaker #GordSinclair #PaulLanglois #JohnnyFay #vinyl #records #nowplaying #nowspinning #Thelinernotes #albumart #vinyligclub #recordcollector #vinylgeek #recordcollection #vinyladdiction #albumart #vinylcollectionpost #records_feature
The Tragically Hip - In Between Evolution
It’s time again for another round of new Hip pressings. World Container was delayed a week which gives us more time with what I consider to be The Hips most underrated album.
Some of my earliest Hip memories were shortly following the release of this album. I remember the local radio playing Vaccination Scar, Gus the Polar Bear, and for a time Summer is Killing Us and It Can’t Be Nashville Every Night. This tour also had a stop in Toronto which was recorded for The That Night in Toronto. The local connection is that Joel Plaskett opened on that tour (despite not being featured in the DVD)
I was very lucky that when I saw The Hip on their last tour they played a suite of songs from this album including one of my all time favourite Hip songs New Orleans is Beat
This album has some of Gord’s most erratic and strange phrasing. Taking common sayings and lines and delivering them in a way that becomes a code to be cracked. “Toonie to the busker and a husky ‘keep it coming’ under my breath” sounded like a different language to me.

The Tragically Hip - Im Violet Light To round out the trilogy of new Hip represses, here's a record that tidied up the more stadium sound of Music @ Work and planted the Hips 00's sound. This record has a number of really great singles It's a Good Life if You Don't Weaken, Silver Jet, The Darkest One, but is really solidified in its deeper cuts. The final one-two punch of The Dire Wolf and The Dark Canuck at the end of this album is one of my favourite two song run in the Hip catalog. I also love that on this album, as it was established on Music @ Work, there are citations for the lyrics. One of Gord's greatest strengths as a lyricist, especially performing live, is his way of weaving a web of reference especially to literature and music. I'm the liner notes there's also a person thanked that seems a bit out of place. I'm Violet Light is a great record, but is proceeded by a really great run of three records, two of which are being pressed for the first time in October. Stay tuned for those 👀 . . . . . #InVioletLight #TheTragicallyHip #CanadianMusic #CanCon #GordDownie #GordSinclair #JohnnyFay #RobBaker #PaulLanglois #vinyl #records #nowplaying #nowspinning #Thelinernotes #albumart #vinyligclub #recordcollector #vinylgeek #recordcollection #vinyladdiction #albumart #vinylcollectionpost #records_feature

The Tragically Hip - Trouble at the Henhouse This is honestly a bit surreal for me. Even though this is just a reissue, I've pined for this record for many moons. Long time listeners will know the degree to which I am a Hip fan. This is probably my favourite Hip album, putting it firmly in the running for all time favourite album. The lyrics on this album hit me deeply. Those unfamiliar with the album might not get the full effect from just reading them (I've highlighted two but I could have put them all in) but they are on some other plane. When I saw the Hip on their last tour they played four songs from this album including Flamenco and Springtime in Vienna and it was a really special moment that hit with the full weight of a band I've been in love with for most of my life. Stay tuned for the other two reissues that I just got. . . . . . #TheTragicallyHip #TroubleattheHenhouse #MCA #musicVaultz #GordDownie #PaulLangois #GordSinclair #JohnnyFay #RobBaker #vinyl #records #nowplaying #nowspinning #Thelinernotes #albumart #vinyligclub #recordcollector #vinylgeek #recordcollection #vinyladdiction #albumart #vinylcollectionpost #records_feature
The Tragically Hip - Man Machine Poem. Ok I know I posted a lot today but I need to get this one in before 2017. There are a million sentimental reasons why this is one of my favourite albums of 2016. I feel like I've already said so much about them but I never feel like I do it justice so I'm just going to keep saying nothing about them until something comes out. Kevin Drew and Dave Hamlin produced this and Gord Downie's Secret Path this year. Kev and Dave are both credited with "Keyboards, Percussion, Heart" Long live The Hip. . . . . . #TheTragicallyHip #TheHip #ManMachinePoem #Universalmusic #UniversalMusicCanada #GordDownie #InGordWeTrust #JohnnyFay #GordSinclair #RobBaker #PaulLanglois #KevinDrew #DaveHamlin #vinyl #records #nowplaying #nowspinning #Thelinernotes #albumart #vinyligclub #recordcollector #vinylgeek #recordcollection #vinyladdiction #albumart #vinylcollectionpost #record_feature
Another replacement of a worn out cassette from back in the day. This one, I actually worked on helping turn the artwork into packaging and ads with Jeff Adamoff who was the AD at MCA. And it was the first time I saw the band live, hooked up for the show at The Roxy. They kicked ass... #nowplaying #TheTragicallyHip #UpToHere #1989 #MCARecords this is the new #2016 #import #reissue #MadeintheEU #vinyl #vinylrules #vinyligclub #vinylcommunity #nowspinning #onmyturntable #BobbyBaker #GordonDownie #JohnnyFay #PaulLanglois #GordSinclair - Produced, Recorded and Mixed by #DonSmith, Mastered by #StephenMarcussen at #PrecisionLacquer.
