Foreigner Partners With Wal-Mart for Exclusive Album Release
The L.A. Timesreports that Foreigner has partnered with Wal-Mart for an exclusive three-disc set release.
Jones says the Wal-Mart exclusive deal is the perfect way for the band -- best known for hits such as "Hot Blooded," "I Want to Know What Love Is" and "Urgent" -- to reestablish itself.
"As we've been off the album scene for some time. We need a lot of support to get the word out," Jones said in an interview. "Although we've played a tremendous amount of shows, a lot of the public doesn't realize that we're back."
Can't Slow Down will include a CD of new songs, a second CD with remixed versions of Foreigner's hits and a DVD with live performance footage. Can't Slow Down will arrive in Wal-Mart stores on September 29th and retail for #12. Kiss is also rumored to have an exclusive Wal-Mart deal in the work. Wal-Mart's exclusive deal with AC/DC was a big success in 2008 but it also occurred before the recession really took hold. It will be interesting to see if the exclusive deals work as well during a recession.
