For the first time ever digitally, the five Chilliwack albums that predated their deal with Vancouver’s Mushrooms Records and Toronto’s Solid Gold Records are being made available now on all services through an agreement with Linus-owned distributor IDLA and Bill Henderson’s Some Sung Songs.
To celebrate the release of these albums, Linus certified Chilliwack’s two biggest hits based on digital downloads and streaming equivalents – Gold Single (40,000 digital units) for Fly At Night, and Platinum Single (over 80,000 digital and physical units) for My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone) when combined with its previous Gold certification from 1982.
Linus also controls master rights to the rest of Chilliwack’s catalog from the Mushroom and Solid Gold years, including hits My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone) and Fly At Night.
The five albums, which showcase Chilliwack’s original jamband sound, span the years 1970-1975 and include early versions of later radio-edited singles like Lonesome Mary and Crazy Talk.
