I think I'll pick this new one up... Anyone have knowledge about the availability? I'd rather wait to spend less on Amazon ($55 seems too steep)... will that be an issue though? Or will this be a huge wide release?

I pre-ordered on Amazon.  $39.99 USA.

this is starting to piss me off. first they release saskadelphia on its own. then they release it again as part of a box set, so now I have two. now they release part of the "part of this limited box set only" on its own. I get it. they need to be smart about how they make their money now. but stop fooling the fans into buying shit they don't want or need more than once. 

I understand that... But on the flip side, it rocks for those who didn't buy the box sets, lol.

if they release Hoof Hearted as a stand alone I'm going to lose it. lol

I feel the same way.   I'm going to need to be more picky about my tragically hip purchases going forward.  ie don't buy things right away.

I also bought that "limited" canoe paddle last year. Being a friend of many a cottage owner, I thought it would be a cool one of a kind gift. Well, wouldn'tcha know it...there's a "2022 edition".

Live at the Roxy sounds great. That Highway Girl story is clever like most of Downie's improv, but when it kicks back into the lyrics it loosely reminds me of the way Pearl Jam returns to Porch in the Atlanta 94 bootleg..... Magical stuff

I was about to say.. fool me once, I'll wait until they release the live vinyl on it's own.... but the DVD.  That documentary of the another roadside attract tour.... that hits in me in all the nostalgia feels.   A bunch of that documentary is from the Victoria stop, which was the first time I ever saw the hip live (and the only time I remember there being a concert at Western Speedway).  Might have to buy it for that.

the cd version of the deluxe set comes with that same dvd.

I’m buying it. Loved the Road Apples boxset. Not worried all the albums were sold individually to folks who perhaps could not afford the entire boxset and only wanted the live album, etc. 
Really looking forward to the FC boxset. 

What I really am excited for in the future is the Day For Night boxset. 😎😎

Lustre Parfait is pretty good.

Was caught in the YouRube vortex of Americans reacting to Hip videos/performances over the holidays. The reactors generally compare the Hip to REM. There is no doubt the Hip were influenced by REM and Midnight Oil among others.  I personally believe REM heard Day for Night and were influenced by that album, as New Adventures in HiFi has a similar feel in my opinion. When the NAHF vinyl release came out it struck me how Hip like it was. 

The other thing I observed was how many Baker outro solos exist on their songs. Perhaps I just never noticed before but it appears it was something they liked doing. I’ve always enjoyed a fade out solo to end a song.

The new Gord Downie/Bob Rock album Lustre Parfait sounds incredible so far. Can't wait to hear the whole thing!

Waiting to see if the EP shows up on Amazon so I can saved on the $20 shipping from buying it directly.

The Moment is a Wild Place… just wow. What a song. Sure doesn’t seem like it’s 7 minutes long.

Wouldn't you rather just buy the whole album? Or you'd want both? All of the EP songs will be on the album, so I'm not going to bother with the EP. No Lustre Parfait vinyl on Amazon yet either though!
