Cockburn’s 13th (I think) studio album, as he transitioned from old school folkie into new wave / alternative with more electric guitar and synthesizers but carrying forward the same politics and attitude. (“The trouble with normal is that it always gets worse”).

True North was an independent Canadian label founded by Bernie Finkelstein (who gets management credit but not producer credit on this LP) but was distributed by CBS/Columbia.

My copy, via Beatnick Records in Montréal Québec, is a CBS Records Canada pressing on True North labels via Don Mills ON, and came with a dual-language lyrics sheet in English and French.
