Key Titles Likely To Boost Holiday Sales
With the release schedule for the upcoming holiday season already looking strong, a number of key fourth-quarter titles were announced last Friday at the Trans World Entertainment Corp. conference in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Billboard Bulletin reports.
BMG is planning
a "Platinum Christmas" compilation, due Nov. 14 on Jive. The 18-track set will include material by 'N Sync, Britney Spears, Joe, R. Kelly, Jars Of Clay, Whitney Houston, Santana, and Kenny G. The album is likely the first in a series that will rotate among BMG labels in subsequent years.
Meanwhile, during its product presentation, WEA provided details on Elektra's Eagles boxed set, which will feature three discs of studio tracks and one of live cuts. Elektra is again touting the long-festering Doors tribute album, with material from Creed, Aerosmith, the Pretenders, and Stone Temple Pilots plus contributions from surviving members of the band.
In addition, Elektra will issue two Phish albums that were previously available only through mail order: the all-instrumental "The Siket Disc," and the long-bootlegged "The White Tape," which features some of the earliest music the group ever recorded.
