Monkey Woman The Four Flicks bus in Japan and an impressive "ambassador" for the Stones!

The bus will tour around Tokyo, marking the sales launch in Japan on December 10 of a live DVD set of the Stones' 2002-2003 world tour. REUTERS/Eriko Sugita

glencar 53,000 is quite disappointing especially at such a great price.

Riffhard Four Flicks is doing remarkably well considering that it's exclusively sold at a store that is not readily available to everyone. The Stones and TGA Productions knew that they may take a little beating salewise because of the exclusivity deal with Best Buy. They got big bucks from Best Buy for the deal so I guess that made up for the lower sales. That said,Four Flicks will not always be available only at Best Buy. I don't know when the deal expires but when it does that will spike the sales a little.

That is if the other retailers decide to stock it. The Best Buy exclusive pissed alot of retailers off. Some threatened to pull the entire Stones catalouge from their shelves. Which is ofcourse stupid beyond measure considering the Stones library sells better than any other band save the Beatles. Retailers who take "revenge" against The Stones only end up cutting their own throats.
