Leonard Cohen Soundtrack on 7/25

[Brad]

I'm sure that everyone recalls that U2 recorded a "live in studio" version of "Tower of Song" with Leonard Cohen last year.  That recording is the climax of the Film, Leonard Cohen I'm Your Man, which is due to be released on June 21.

Well, Verve Records now has the soundtrack album on their upcoming releases schedule, with a release date of July 25.

There's no tracklisting as of yet, but I can't imagine the U2/Leonard Cohen track not being on there.
