Title: The Stones.
Post by: sonickteam2 on October 30, 2003, 12:18:00 pm
kind of funny...
 
 Stones In Retail Battle
 
 If you're planning on heading out to any major record store to buy some Rolling Stones material anytime soon, you're going to have a hard time. Canadian retailers HMV Canada, Pindoff Record Sales/Music World and Sunrise Records have pulled everything Stones from their stores. This move is a result of a decision in the Stones camp to release their four-disc DVD set "Four Flicks" exclusively through Best Buy and Future Shop. Toronto-based Rolling Stones tour promoter Michael Cohl, who represented the Stones in the deal, has yet to comment.

Don't worry. There will be enough in the used bins to get by, if you are so inclined.

Maybe we should call it the "Best Not Buys of the Future" label.

The Elevation Tour Boston was offered pre-release in limited numbers to Best Buy, but the final release was not exclusive.

this is the best comment ever...
 
 "Gary Arnold, Best Buy's senior vice president of entertainment, shrugged off the concerns about its exclusive deals and said that he expected Four Flicks to be the company's best-selling music DVD ever. "
