This is the Globe Records Millennium Compilation - a salute to the next thousand years with a mondo-festive South American feel that features Rhythmtown-Jive, The Christmas Jug Band (Dan Hicks, Paul Rogers, Austin deLone, Tim Eschliman, et al), many others from the Globe Roster, special guest vocalist Susie Davis (Prince, Pat Benatar), a rousing Dixieland finale, and lots of kids from the Wilson School (Petaluma, CA). The choruses are sung in English, but nine other languages speak translated versions throughout the piece (French, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Hawaiian, Greek, Spanish, Japanese, Cajun French, and German). We hope this release helps to promote the long range view and Global thinking. A portion of proceeds benefit Stewart Brand's Long Now Foundation.

There are full-length and edited versions of "Happy New Millenium" as well as 9 cuts from recent Globe Records and Loball Releases (see below). To hear sound files and order, visit the Globe catalog.
