The Hip will release the collection Friday under the name Saskadelphia, a nod to the original working title of their chart-topping third album, which included Little Bones and Long Time Running.
Saskadelphia includes lead single Ouch, a gritty bar-room fireball with the late Gord Downie growling lyrics against a wall of guitars, and Crack, among the band's most effervescent rock tracks.

The album is rounded out with a live version of Montreal, a song the band says was written shortly after the 1989 massacre at École Polytechnique. Recorded at what's now known as the Bell Centre on Dec. 7, 2000, the day after the 11th anniversary of the massacre, Downie introduces Montreal as a song about "the identification process."
