NEW YORK, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/
-- SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, Warner Music
Group, Universal Music Group, EMI Music and 5.1
Entertainment Group today announced the next
collection of DualDisc releases scheduled to hit
store beginning in March. On March 1, Jennifer
Lopez's new album, "Rebirth," and Judas Priest's
"Angel of Retribution," lead off the new
DualDisc releases. These titles add to the
growing catalog of DualDiscs being released by
major record companies throughout the year.
DualDiscs are a new
entertainment product which combines music, film
and video on a single, two-sided disc. The first
side of every DualDisc contains a full-length
audio album while the DVD side features a wide
range of exclusive content such as the same
album in enhanced sound (such as 5.1 Surround
Sound or enhanced LPCM stereo), music videos,
interviews, photo galleries, web links, concert
footage, lyrics and more. DualDiscs play on
existing CD and DVD hardware devices such as DVD
players, car stereos, PCs, game consoles and CD
players.
"DualDiscs add new
meaning and value to the experience of
purchasing music," said Fred Fox, Executive Vice
President of Merchandising and Marketing for
Trans World Entertainment Corporation, one of
the largest specialty music and video retailers
in the United States. "It's a win-win situation
for the consumer, and the music industry. It's a
tremendous value for the entertainment dollar."
By capitalizing on the
overwhelming popularity of DVD music videos,
which have grown exponentially over the course
of the past three years, DualDisc meets consumer
demand for greater versatility and value in
entertainment products. At the same time, this
new product provides artists with an innovative
avenue for creative expression while providing
consumers with a fresh way to connect with the
artists they love.
All of the major
recording companies including SONY BMG,
Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and
EMI, as well as independent companies such as
5.1 Entertainment/Silverline Records, are
developing DualDiscs for the music consumer. |
