This Limited Edition Tragically Hip 7-Inch Should Get You Out on Black Friday
The American consumerist orgy known as Black Friday has spread into Canada over the last few years as retailers try to get us to part with more Christmas money sooner. Normally I ignore such entreaties–but I might make an exception for this.
The Tragically Hip has a special Black Friday 7-inch this year. Side 1 features “Tired as Fuck” from Man Machine Poem, which is fine. The green vinyl is cool, but…
…side 2 features something I never knew existed: an American radio mix of “At the Hundredth Meridian” which is substantially different from what we’re used to. It’s never, ever been available in Canada, either.
Rest assured that this is a real, authorized and legitimate piece of vinyl. Only 2,000 have been pressed, so it’s an instant collectible. Take your chances at the following record stores (among others). Good luck!
- Sunrise Records
- Cheapies
- Cheeky Monkey
- Ditch Records
- Dr. Disc
- Fred’s Records
- Freecloud Records
- Soundscapes
- Moondance
- Recordland
- Red Cat Records
- Sloth Records
- Taz Records
Where did you find out this information? How the hell do you get it? I can’t find any listing for it anywhere with the exception of 2 websites. Those 2 websites list then as being released on December 2 and have no information about it. The label it’s on is questionable as well.
Nope. It’s an official Universal Music Canada release. I can guarantee that 100%. The problem is that the record wasn’t available until after all the Black Friday lists were printed up and distributed.
So basically it will be impossible to get since no one ordered it… and only in the US.
Does this look legit? http://www.deepdiscount.com/the-tragically-hip-tired-as-f-at-the-hundreth-meridian-import/60255716843
I see it on one us website. I wish I knew if it was legit or can we find it in Canada
Check your local record stores that participate in Record Store Day. At least one in Ottawa has them in stock today.
As of around 2:15 an Ottawa shop still had 5-6 copies.
Which store?
Alan listed where you can get it – those are Canadian retailers. This was a Canadian release. I have one in my hands right now from Grooves in London, Ontario.
Bought mine on eBay for a ridiculous price.
