Transcription
Production and marketing
The album was recorded and mixed by Morningstar.[5] The cover artwork was created by Montreal artist Jon Claytor.[6]
To overcome the problem of fans creating bootleg recordings instead of buying the CD, Downie collaborated with MapleMusic Recordings to create video recordings of concerts performed in support of the album. The videos were posted for sale a few days after the concert.[7]
