Actually, I must tell you that the chapters.com site that I referred you to is a Canadian music and book site. It's sort of like Amazon.com, however, all the prices are in Canadian dollar which is great for you Americans out there. The Oh Grandeur album is only $15.47 Canadian which is probably around ten dollars American. The address to the site is this: http://www.chapters.com Also, for those that don't know, the address for rykodisc is this: http://www.rykodisc.com (free poster). Take care, Theresa. >thanks theresa!
