Rarest Canadian Music

Welcome to the deep end of the archive—an unparalleled collection of Canada’s most elusive, obscure, and impossible-to-find recordings. Private press LPs, vanished 45s, cassette-only gems, and forgotten studio experiments—all rescued from the brink of silence. Spanning every genre and region, RAREST CANADIAN MUSIC shines a light on the voices, visions, and vinyl that slipped through the cracks of mainstream history. Unearthed, digitized, and preserved—this is Canada’s hidden soundtrack.
