Bruce Cockburn / True North 50th anniversary vinyl box set

Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn celebrates his 50 years in music with a limited edition vinyl box set – signed by the man himself.

The box set is being issued by independent label True North (who’ve released Cockburn’s albums from the very beginning). It contains just three albums (all remastered by Bruce’s long-time producer Colin Linden) and they are the self-titled debut Bruce Cockburn (1970), The Charity of Night (1997) and Breakfast in New Orleans, Dinner in Timbuktu (1999). The last two have never been issued on vinyl before.

The five records (two of the albums are doubles) are pressed on 180g coloured vinyl and come in original artwork sleeves adapted from the original designs by Michael Wrycraft.

The box is individually numbered box and signed and the label say “a limited number will be produced” although decline to say specify the exact number.

The set will be released on 25 September 2020. It’s a sizeable investment, even if the box itself is relatively small, in terms of the number of albums included. For those interested, do check out that Amazon France pre-order price!
