The Visit, the iconic album from Canadian Celtic and world music star Loreena McKennitt is newly available as The Definitive Edition.
The Visit won a Juno Award (the most important music award in Canada) and launched Loreena McKennitt’s international career 30 years ago.
The original album, recorded in 1991, has subsequently sold more than two million copies across more than 40 countries.
“Thirty years seems like a long time, no matter how you measure it,” says McKennitt. “Looking back as through a picture frame, one can better see what that period was in its context. I’ve heard from so many people how this recording became a kind of soundtrack for their lives around the time it was released in the early 1990s.”
The Visit: The Definitive Edition is available in two formats. There is a deluxe limited-edition, hardback book format containing four CDs and one audio Blu-ray disc, a 32-page illustrated booklet and hours of previously unreleased content including the first-ever surround sound mixes of McKennitt’s music.
In addition, there is a 15-track highlights edition available exclusively from streaming and download services, including the original album and six classic songs from The Visit performed live in concert and on radio.
