(6/6/03, 10 a.m. ET) -- Fans of the band Cold will get a chance to hear a rerecorded version of a song that got them signed to Fred Durst's Flip Records back in the late 1990s. The band recently completed work on "Check Please," one of two demo songs that originally got them on board with the label. The song features the Limp Bizkit frontman and a string section.

Singer Scooter Ward said that "Check Please" will hit stores as a hidden track on Year Of The Spider after the first 300,000 copies of the album are sold. "What happened was that Year Of The Spider got released, and I didn't want it on there at the first pressing--because I need these little added bonuses to sell records. So what I did was we put 'Gone Away' as the hidden track on the first 300,000 copies of The Year Of The Spider. After those are gone the next batch is gonna have... the bonus track's gonna be 'Check Please.' So we're gonna do that. We're gonna put it out again with that on there."

Cold's Year Of The Spider has sold just over 165,000 copies so far, which is good enough for Number 40 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart.
