The initial double LP edition will be available in a limited run of yellow and black vinyl, matching the colours of Chris’s beloved Richmond Football Club. That edition has now been remastered with yet more material – seventeen tracks in all – for a new double CD, and, for the first time ever, a vinyl edition. The original nine-song CD was expanded with extra material in a low-key fifteen-song independently released double CD back in 2007. It is an Australian classic and was the subject of a documentary film that premiered in 2017 at the St Kilda Film Festival.
The album holds a singular place in a singular career. Originally recorded and released in 1994 after Chris had released his first solo album on Mushroom’s Aurora label, Live at the Continental is an intimate recording, made at a beloved venue, of the Melbourne blues, country, folk and roots-rock master, accompanied only by long-time sideman Shane O’Mara on guitar, and Australian jazz luminary Jex Saarelaht on piano. The vinyl comes with a free digital download. The expanded edition of Chris Wilson’s Live at the Continental will be available on double LP (including a limited coloured vinyl pressing) and double CD and released by Cheersquad Records & Tapes on January 22, 2021, just in time for Chris’ 65 th birthday on the 24 th. Cheersquad Records & Tapes is more than pleased to announce the long-deserved re-release, and first-ever vinyl release of the classic Chris Wilson live album, Live at the Continental.
