Best album cover (ever)...

Ok, so I might be a little biased when it comes to Josh Groban, but seriously, can anyone argue that this isn't the best album cover ever...

This is the cover for a new album which is being released in Europe. Don't get me started as to why this isn't being released in Australia or for that matter the US, but needless to say myself along with many other fans aren't all that happy with this somewhat 'intersting' decision by the record company (great work WB!!!). But thanks to the wonders of the internet, I've already got my copy on pre-order thanks to HMV UK.

It's going to be like a best of collection, with no new material, but they are including two special live" versions of "Anthem" from Chess and "Weeping" featuring Vusi Mahlasela with the Soweto Gospel Choir from Mandela's 90th birthday concert. The second disc will also have a selection of Christmas songs from "Noel"...

This is apparently the track listing:

1. Oceano
2. February Song
3. You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)
4. You Raise Me Up
5. In Her Eyes
6. Awake

10. Per Te
11. Remember When It Rained
12. Weeping [Featuring Vusi Mahlasela And The Soweto Gospel Choir - Live]
13. Alejate
14. Hymne A L'amour
15. Cinema Paradiso
16. Smile

Disc Two

1. Silent Night
2. Little Drummer Boy
3. Ave Maria
4. Panis Angelicus
5. Petit Papa Noel
6. Noche de Paz (Silent Night)

And here's the pic one more time and thanks to the magic of photo-shop, the words have been removed... can someone please pick me up off the floor.

And thanks to Warner Brothers in the UK, here's a promo video. It even includes a sneak peak of Josh singing Anthem from the Royal Albert Hall in London (yes, this is one of the reasons for my trip to London in May earlier this year)...
