I just got a copy from eBay...looking forward to it.

The Cottars' musical director told me that Warner Canada will distribute a CD to radio stations across Canada. This CD will have The Cottars' song 'The Peace Carol' as well as Christmas songs by Michael Bublé and Josh Groban.

"The Peace Carol" is now on The Cottars' new MySpace page!

The solo vocals are amazing. The chorus contains some of the best harmonization I've ever heard.
