The Tragically Hip are proud to be announced as the Record Store Day Canada 2024 Ambassadors, releasing an exclusive standalone live album, ‘Live at CBGB’s,’ on Record Store Day. The global celebration of the culture of independent record stores takes place this year on April 20th 2024, as it has annually for the last 17 years. This announcement marks the first of many moments this year for the band as they celebrate 40 years.
‘Live At CBGB’s’ features nine live songs that were originally recorded on January 14, 1993, from the legendary New York venue CBGB’s as The Tragically Hip launched their third studio album, ‘Fully Completely,’ in America with a private event from the intimate space. The band performed the record in full, omitting a few tracks that didn’t fit the bill. This concert recording will be available on April 20 for the first time as a 12” pink vinyl with a limited run of pink cassettes at participating record stores in Canada and the US.
“Record Store Day Canada is overjoyed that legendary Canadian band, The Tragically Hip, will be the Record Store Day Canada 2024 Canadian Ambassadors,” says Ryan Kerr from Record Store Day Canada. “There are few bands that represent Canadiana; our traditions, values, and pastimes the way The Tragically Hip does. The band is woven into the fabric of our culture and the annals of our beloved rock radio with innumerable hits. Fans continue to honour the legacy of The Tragically Hip, who brought a genuine and unique passion to their music. RSDC is looking forward to contributing to the band’s ongoing legacy by releasing ‘Live at CBGB’s’ for Record Store Day 2024. Pressed for the very first time, it will be a great addition to collections of The Tragically Hip fans nationwide.”
