Presenting a new deluxe 25th Anniversary edition of Tom Cochrane’s iconic Diamond Selling album, Mad Mad World. Originally released in Canada on September 20th, 1991 and in the U.S. in early 1992, Mad Mad World became Tom’s biggest selling album release that included the anthemic “Life Is A Highway” which stayed at the #1 spot on the Canadian singles chart for 6 weeks and garnered 4 Juno awards as well as extensive international acclaim.
There have been numerous covers of this classic including the version that was featured in the Pixar block-buster animated film ‘Cars’ which was covered by Rascal Flatts. Mad Mad World also included the top singles “No Regrets”, “Mad Mad World”, “Sinking Like A Sunset, “Washed Away”.
The 2 CD deluxe contains in addition to a newly re-mastered edition of the original album by Joao Carvalho, a previously unreleased original version of “Life Is A Highway”, that began as “Love Is A Highway”. It also includes a rare live concert recorded in the same era in for Westwood One in Chicago with Red Rider in absolute top form along with early live performances of the key tracks from Mad Mad World and earlier career highlights.
[ from thatericalper.com ] This year marks the 25th anniversary of the 1991 release of Tom Cochrane’s album, Mad Mad World, which accelerated the Canadian singer-songwriter’s already upward trajectory into the stratosphere. To celebrate this milestone, Universal Music Canada, is reissuing Mad Mad World in remastered deluxe edition October 28, complete with the previously unreleased original demo recording of Love Is A Highway, from which grew the career-defining single Life Is A Highway, still in heavy rotation around the world a quarter-century later. The 2-CD set also includes a 1992 concert performance from Chicago which features key tracks from the album alongside Red Rider classics. The anniversary celebrations will further be supported by a special exhibition at the National Music Centre in Calgary, opening on October 28, and also a full Canadian tour, crossing Canada in the customary fashion – in winter – come early 2017.
Mad Mad World remains among the top-selling albums in Canadian music history, achieving rare Diamond-certified status (Cochrane is one of only three Canadian males to reach this plateau) on the strengths of such hit singles as the title track, No Regrets, Washed Away, Sinking Like A Sunset, and, of course, Life Is A Highway, which reigned at #1 for six weeks in Canada, reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, and went on to become recognized the world over.
