‘Saskadelphia’ was the working title for an intended Tragically Hip double album release of Road Apples. It spoke the
amount of live shows the band were doing at the time – they never knew if they were going to be in Saskatchewan or
Philadelphia.
‘Road Apples’ became the album title which was the band’s first #1 album in Canada and has since achieved Diamond
status. ‘Saskadelphia’ features all previously unreleased tracks recorded at Kingsway Studios in New Orleans in the Fall of
1990 & was produced by Don Smith. The band were then at a creative peak both in the studio and with their
performances. The first single & video is ‘Ouch’.
The Tragically Hip will be honoured at this year’s 50 th Anniversary Junos with the Humanitarian Award. ‘Saskadelphia’ will
be pressed on 180 gram virgin silver coloured vinyl.
