Loreena McKennitt - To Drive The Cold Winter Away LP - Silver Vinyl-

Loreena McKennitt’s Quinlan Road record label is set to release her second album, To Drive The Cold Winter Away, for the first time on coloured vinyl. First released on cd in 1987 and previously available in a now sold out 5000 copy edition in 180g black vinyl, this new version (QRLP102C) of the first of Loreena’s three full length winter season releases will continue the tradition of Loreena's albums appearing in high quality 140g vinyl pressings. Once again this edition was manufactured at Record Industry in the Netherlands and is pressed on Lothlorian Green vinyl. To Drive The Cold Winter Away presents seasonal music with a fresh and serendipitous approach. This collection of traditional and lesser-known winter and Christmas carols was recorded in 1987 on location at The Church Of Our Lady in Guelph, Ontario, and, in Ireland, at a Benedictine monastery and The Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Annaghmakerrig.
