Publish Date: Oct 04, 2007

Multi-Dove Award-winning and gold-selling Curb recording artist Selah is celebrating 10 years of music and ministry with the October 9th release of Timeless: The Selah Collection, a box set of the group’s seminal recordings. The retrospective contains three of Selah’s Dove Award-winning albums Be Still My Soul, Press On, and Hiding Place, along with a bonus CD of selections from other Selah projects, previously unreleased cuts and new songs.

The bonus disc features the group’s new single, Rescue Me, which was written by Selah’s Todd Smith, along with Chris Eaton. The song has been serviced to Christian radio formats and is also slated for inclusion on a forthcoming new studio recording from the group.

Timeless: The Selah Collection comes with a 52-page booklet chronicling Selah’s history, including numerous group and personal photos. The booklet also contains the lyrics and credits for each of the collection’s 47 songs.

“Selah has amassed an amazing body of work over the past few years,” said Dennis Hannon, EVP/GM, Curb Records. “This box set is a wonderful reflection of how they have evolved as individuals and musicians and gives us an insight as to the wonderful things we can expect from them in the years to come.”

Founded in 1997 by Allan Hall and siblings Todd Smith and Nicol Sponberg, Selah’s 1999 debut, Be Still My Soul, introduced the group’s now signature arrangements of hymns and classic songs of faith. Earning the Dove Award for Inspirational Album of the Year in 2000, Be Still My Soul features It Is Well With My Soul, His Eye Is On the Sparrow, Precious Lord, Take My Hand/Just A Closer Walk With Thee and The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power, among other selections.

Press On, the group’s 2001 follow-up, received the Dove Award for Inspirational Album of the Year in 2002. The project features 12 tracks, including the title-cut, Wonderful, Merciful Savior, Timeless, Were You There (featuring Russ Taff), How Great Thou Art and Amazing Grace.

The RIAA gold-certified Hiding Place released in 2004 and includes Selah’s multi-format breakthrough hit, You Raise Me Up, as well as the title-cut, All My Praise, There Is Power In The Blood and Through It All, among others. Hiding Place won the 2005 Dove Award for Inspirational Album of the Year.

Timeless: The Selah Collection also includes a bonus disc of cuts from other Selah recordings, previously unreleased tracks, and new selections. Four songs from the group’s 2007 Dove Award-winning Inspirational Album of the Year, Bless The Broken Road: The Duets Album, are featured Bless The Broken Road (with Melodie Crittenden) and Mary Sweet Mary (with Plumb), as well as both Glory and Be Thou Near To Me, featuring Selah’s Amy Perry.

In addition, the bonus disc contains a live recording of Were You There, Be Thou My Vision from Selah’s Greatest Hymns project; the previously unreleased I Didn’t Think It Could Be, a demo of Through It All, and new recordings of the Keith Green classic There Is A Redeemer, the hymn Revive Us Again, and Selah’s latest single, Rescue Me.

Selah’s recordings have sold a combined total of more than 1.8 million units to date. Now comprised of Allan Hall, Amy Perry and Todd Smith, the group’s 10-year career has yielded six GMA Dove Awards, as well as nominations for Artist and Group of the Year. Selah’s #1 hits include All My Praise, Press On, Wonderful, Merciful Savior, and You Raise Me Up.

Timeless: The Selah Collection will be available at Canadian Christian retailers starting next Tuesday, October 9th. For further information, visit Selah’s YMZ artist page.
