The iconic creations of Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas – Bob & Doug McKenzie – are getting the beauty treatment they deserve with the ultimate celebration of their legacy. Great White North & Strange Brew (44 ¾ Anniversary) collection unites the duo’s two landmark album releases and cult-classic film, available together for the first time ever! works that have influenced Canadian culture for four decades, and comes loaded with bonus content for fans old and new. The packages include:
• Remastered Great White North (1981) album and The Adventures Of Bob & Doug McKenzie In Strange Brew (1983) soundtrack
• Their acclaimed and endlessly quotable 1983 film Strange Brew, on Blu-ray
• A brand-new karaoke version of “Twelve Days of Christmas,” with lyric sheet
• “Are You A Hoser?” poster and 12-page booklet packed with archival photos. A pop culture force in the early ’80s thanks to their SCTV sketches and their debut comedy album Great White North. The record achieved triple-platinum status in Canada and sold over one million copies worldwide, propelled by the hit single “Take Off,” featuring Geddy Lee of Rush. The track climbed to No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped earn the brothers a JUNO Award for Comedy Album of the Year. Their influence only grew with the release of their film Strange Brew in 1983 – a story of conspiracy, beer and absurdity, which Moranis and Thomas wrote and directed in addition to their starring roles. The film is considered one of the best Canadian comedy movies of all time. The soundtrack earned the duo a second JUNO Award for Best Comedy Album.
