ENTER TO WIN A PETER PAUL AND MARY PRIZE PACK (HARDCOVER BOOK/2 CDS)

petrpaulmary(1)Peter Paul and Mary recently released Discovered: Live in Concert, and to celebrate one lucky customer will win a prize pack including two CDs (Discovered and The Very Best of Peter Paul and Mary) and a hardcover book, Peter Paul and Mary: 50 Years in Music and Life, courtesy of Rhino Records!

To enter the drawing, send an email with the subject “Peter Paul and Mary” HERE by midnight Thursday, Jan. 15. We will draw a name and notify the winner on Friday, Jan. 16.

Discovered is a live collection of unreleased performances with 12 songs never heard before on the legendary trio’s albums. Until now, only fans fortunate enough to see the trio live during the eighties and nineties were able to hear performances of songs like Leadbelly’s “Midnight Special,” Kate Wolf’s plaintive “Give Yourself to Love,” and Noel Paul Stookey’s, zany “Parallel Universe.” Only one song on the 13-track collection was released before: “Mi Caballo Blanco,” which appeared on Peter, Paul and Mary‘s 2004 boxed set Carry It On.

* One entry per person, NOT per email address. If you have 16 email addresses and you enter with each address, we’ll just delete 15 of them. We have the technology. To be eligible to win, you must live in the Boise metro area and be able to pick up your prize at the store.
