Following the phenomenal public reaction to the announcement of their Light The Nitro Tour and their recent catalogue reissue, Cold Chisel have taken the unusual step of inviting the public to vote for the songs they want on the band's upcoming new Best Of album. And everyone who votes for their favourite Cold Chisel songs via the band's website will be able to download Cold Chisel’s new single, All For You, for free. All the votes will then be tallied to create All For You The Best of Cold Chisel … a new compilation album handpicked by the public.
The album will take its name from the band's first new studio recording in 13 years, All For You. It's classic Cold Chisel; a powerful Don Walker-penned song made all the more special for the fact that it features the last ever recorded performance by the band's drummer Steve Prestwich, who passed away unexpectedly in January.
From Monday, 29 August at 9.00am through till 6.00pm on Friday, 2 September (Australian EST), people will be able to go into the band's website [www.coldchisel.com] and cast their vote for the 5 songs that they want to see on the album. The album will also include two new songs, one of which will be All For You. All For You The Best Of Cold Chisel will be released by Warner Music on Friday, 14 October, the day after the band starts the Light The Nitro Tour in Newcastle.
"It stops us arguing about what songs to include on the album," laughed Jimmy Barnes of the album's unique selection process. "Whenever you compile a record like this, there's always someone who says 'why didn't you include this or that' … Now we've got someone else to blame."
Coinciding with the voting, All For You will be released to all radio around the country on Monday, 29 August.
Dates and venues for the Light The Nitro Tour are below.
The tour will be presented nationally by Triple M and Southern Cross Media, MAX and CMC
