TGA Entertainment Announces Multi-Platinum Sales For Rolling Stones Four-DVD Set `Four Flicks'; Best Buy Exclusive is One of the Best Selling Music DVDs of All Time
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 2003--TGA Entertainment announced today that the Rolling Stones four-DVD set, "Four Flicks," has achieved multi-platinum sales since its release less than one month ago. As of December 8, "Four Flicks" had sold more than 125,000 copies in the United States and Canada, surpassing five-times platinum sales levels.
"Four Flicks" was released November 11 and is being sold exclusively in Best Buy stores in the United States and Canada, Future Shop stores in Canada and through Best Buy's Web site (www.BestBuy.com). This exclusive relationship has allowed the Rolling Stones and TGA Entertainment to make "Four Flicks" available to consumers for only $29.99 - an unprecedented price for a four-DVD set.
Since its release, "Four Flicks" has received critical raves as a definitive collection capturing the Rolling Stones in three distinct settings during their renowned "Licks" World Tour. The four-DVD set features shows at the historic Olympia Theatre in Paris, New York's Madison Square Garden, and London's Twickenham Stadium.
The collection includes five hours of music and more than 50 songs, many of which had never been released live before including "Love Train," "Rock Me Baby," "Nearness of You," "Monkey Man," "Worried About You," and "Hand of Fate." The fourth DVD presents two exclusive behind the scenes documentaries, "Tip of the Tongue" and "Licks Around the World."
"We appreciate the energy and support that we have received from Best Buy," said Michael Cohl, chairman, TGA Entertainment. "The collective effort to bring fans the ultimate DVD experience has been unmatched and the fans are responding."
"We are extremely pleased with our initial sales results for 'Four Flicks,'" said Gary Arnold, senior vice president of entertainment for Best Buy. "We believe that the multi-platinum sales figures are a testament to the power of Best Buy and the Rolling Stones working together to create excitement and bring great value to customers."
The "Four Flicks" collection features the latest in DVD technology offering cutting edge interaction, special viewing features and behind-the-scenes commentary. Audio options include a totally immersive Dolby 5.1 surround sound audio experience.
The "Four Flicks" DVD is produced by TGA Entertainment, a multi-faceted entertainment company and worldwide tour promoters for the Rolling Stones "Licks" World Tour. The Paris/New York/London concerts were all produced and directed by Marty Callner and produced by Randy Gladstein. Audio mixes were done by Ed Cherney.

Fuck 'im. He drinks frozen margaritas with whipped cream.
This is incredible news. 125,000 copies at $30 a pop is not a bad payday. |
