The Choir EP

Barely Appreciated

THE CHOIR
 
 
The Choir  is a retrospective EP by The Choir thathas been released only in 7” format. The cover features the samephotograph as Choir Practice, although it has been cropped and is muchgrainier.  There are actually five songs on the record, even though the coversays that there are only four.  (More from Wikipedia) 
 
 
 
 
The five songs by the Choir on the EP called The Choir, however, did not include their September 1966 release “It’s Cold Outside”, which was picked up by Roulette Records in May 1967, hitting #1 on all three Top 40 radio stations in Cleveland and peaking at #68 on the Billboard charts.  It’s Cold Outside is one of my very favorite 1960’s garage rock songs, and this song has fans across the country and around the world.  It’s Cold Outside gained more attention when it was included on Pebbles, Volume 2 and later in the first Nuggets Box Set
