Still the Mighty: CKCU turns 50 with first vinyl release

CKCU FM has jubilantly turned 50, and to mark the milestone, we’ve released our first compilation album on vinyl along side “50 Songs for 50 Years“, a bandcamp compilation that includes the 13 tracks on the LP.

Still the Mighty – Celebrating 50 Years of CKCU 93.1 FM brings together a collection of original tracks from the Ottawa music scene, many of whom have long-standing ties to the station.

To launch the record, we hosted a special event on Thursday, November 27, at Ollie’s Pub in the NideyinĂ n Building (downstairs from the station) at Carleton University to great avail.

This project is a snapshot of the voices and sounds that have shaped CKCU over the years. You can buy the record at independent record stores (Vertigo, The Record Centre, Compact Music) across Ottawa, by emailing info@ckcufm.com, or buy a digital version of it on Bandcamp.
