Gord Downie and the Country of Miracles - The Grand Bounce I was thinking of this album the other day. It wasn't in my collection then, and when I looked it up online it was selling for +$100! This was wild to me because it used to pass it over all the time thinking "maybe next time". Lucky today I found it for a price I more expected it to be and snatched it up. However, on closer inspection this was not the pressing listed on Discogs (a double LP 45RPM version). Was this somehow a very early copy of the reissue due in December? Seems unlikely as I asked around to my record store contacts who told me that they aren't able to order the upcoming repress yet. It does seem as though this is a repress of some kind, the store I bought it from only has a small record section and didn't seem to know much about it (guy at the desk doesn't order the records). I made a discogs entry for this and then someone else uploaded one. I really don't know what the details on this pressing are. Either way it's a fantastic album. A real cross Canada album, highly literate, even for Gord. Not only are many of the songs quoting literature but the liner notes mention the font used. It's the Richler font named after the novelist Mordecai Richler. This album was produced by Death Cab's Chris Walls and features Eric's Trips' Julie Dorion. Gord himself painted the cover art. If anyone knows about this pressing let me know. I'm glad to finally have a copy either way. . . . . . #GordDownie #GordDownieandthecountryofmiracles #thegrandbounce #ChrisWalla #JulieDorion #mordecairichler #vinyl #records #nowplaying #nowspinning #Thelinernotes #albumart #vinyligclub #recordcollector #vinylgeek #recordcollection #vinyladdiction #albumart #vinylcollectionpost #records_feature
