 Bruce Cockburn’s “True North - A 50th Anniversary Box Set” was released in 2020 by his Canadian record label True North Records.

 Only 750 sets were issued worldwide (catalogue no. TND750); each has been personally hand-signed and numbered by the master himself as “692/750”.

 PLEASE NOTE: The photo gallery shows stock photos APART FROM two photos I took of the actual set on sale – showing the outer box ID label and the rear of the sealed record box, which bears the artist’s signature and the numbered edition as number 692 of 750. 

Here is a rare chance to buy one of these ultra-collectible sets; it is a brand new, sealed item, unopened and in mint condition. It’s a mint copy at a very competitive price – none cheaper than this one!

The five-LP set comprises the self-titled debut album Bruce Cockburn along with two albums that are previously unreleased on vinyl; The Charity of Night and Breakfast in New Orleans, Dinner in Timbuktu. Each album has been re-mastered by Bruce’s long-time producer Colin Linden.

The Anniversary Set comprises five LPs, a single LP and two double LPs; they are heavyweight 180-gram discs, all pressed on beautiful coloured vinyl. Each album is housed in a high quality sleeve, presenting original artwork that has been adapted from the original designs by Michael Wrycraft. The records in turn are housed in a sturdy,individually numbered outer box that has been signed personally by the artist. 

______________________________________________________

Bruce Cockburn has been active and relevant in music for 50 years – which is a very significant achievement for any individual recording artist. In terms of a similar longevity for any independent the same landmark also applies to his label, True North Records.   So for the artist and label to achieve this milestone by working together continuously, this 50th Anniversary release is even more remarkable. To celebrate, they have produced a Limited Edition vinyl box set that collects together three of Bruce Cockburn’s most significant recordings.

Contents:

1: “Bruce Cockburn” is a single album, originally issued in 1970. This special edition is pressed on stunning sunshine yellow vinyl. The album has a single sleeve, plus an insert page printed with song lyrics and credits printed. 

2: “The Charity of Night” was originally issued on CD in 1997; the anniversary edition is a double album, pressed on deep red vinyl and housed in a gate-fold sleeve, printed with song lyrics and credits.
