The pseudonym Imagene Peise is a John Lennon-esque spelling of "Imagine Peace," ala Lennon’s wonsaponatime, and likewise the album title sounds-out "At last, it's Christmas." The alias credits are similarly punning: Imagene Peise - Piano Ominog Bangh - Laughing/Crying Glider Synthesizer Shineyu Bhupal - Drones, Sitar, and Baritone Tambura ARTIST & INFO Band Members: Wayne Coyne, Michael Ivins, Steven Drozd, Derek Brown The Flaming Lips are an American rock band formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1983. Instrumentally, their sound contains lush, multi-layered, psychedelic rock arrangements, but lyrically their compositions show elements of space rock, including unusual song and album titles—such as "What Is the Light? (An Untested Hypothesis Suggesting That the Chemical [In Our Brains] by Which We Are Able to Experience the Sensation of Being in Love Is the Same Chemical That Caused the "Big Bang" That Was the Birth of the Accelerating Universe)". They are also acclaimed for their elaborate live shows, which feature costumes, balloons, puppets, video projections, complex stage light configurations, giant hands, large amounts of confetti, and frontman Wayne Coyne's signature man-sized plastic bubble, in which he traverses the audience. In 2002, Q magazine named The Flaming Lips one of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die."

Records (WBR) has signed a global recording contract with legendary rap group Wu-Tang Clan, including RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa, and Cappadonna. As a group, Wu-Tang has sold over 6.5 million records in the US, while they’ve sold nearly 40 million records worldwide, including individual members' album sales as well as group sales collectively. The group’s first release on the label will be the highly-anticipated 20th anniversary album, A Better Tomorrow, which will be available December 2nd. This will be the 1st release from the legendary group in 7 years. ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Staten Island, NY Band Members: RZA, GZA, Rawkeon, Method Mad, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, Masta Killa, U-God, Capadonna, Ol’ Dirty Bastard (RIP). Emerging in 1993, the Staten Island, NY-based Wu-Tang Clan proved to be the most revolutionary rap group of the mid-’90s. Turning the standard concept of a hip-hop crew inside out, the Wu-Tang Clan were assembled as a loose congregation of nine MCs. Instead of releasing one album after another, the idea was to establish the Wu-Tang as a force with their debut album and then spin off into as many side projects as possible. In the process, the members all became individual stars.

ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Dawson, GA One of the most influential soul singers of the 1960s, Otis Redding exemplified to many listeners the power of Southern "deep soul" -- hoarse, gritty vocals, brassy arrangements, and an emotional way with both party tunes and aching ballads. At the time of his tragic death at the age of 26, Redding was on the verge of breaking through to a wide pop audience (which he would indeed do with his posthumous number one single "[Sittin' On] The Dock of the Bay"). He was also tremendously respected by many white groups, particularlythe Rolling Stones, who coveredRedding's "Pain in My Heart."(Excerpted from Allmusic.com) MARKETING POINTS © 2014 Warner Elektra Atlantic Corporation | Terms of Use | Privacy Policy LATE ADDITIONS AUDIO & VIDEO RECAP STREET ORDERS ARTIST TITLE LBL CNF UPCSEL # SRP DATE DUE Young, Neil Storytone REP CD 093624931706 546421 $18.98 11/04/14 10/8/14 Young, Neil Storytone (Deluxe)(2CD) REP CD 093624932406 546105 $20.98 11/04/14 10/8/14 Songbird: Rare Tracks & Forgotten Gems Harris, Emmylou RRW CD 081227956233 546436 $39.98 11/17/14 10/21/14 (4CD) In This Moment Black Widow ATL CD 075678671333 545974 $13.99 11/17/14 10/21/14 Peter, Paul And Mary Discovered: Live In Concert RHI CD 081227956349 546160 $18.98 11/17/14 10/21/14 Special AKA, The In The Studio (180 Gram Vinyl) PRH A 825646297047 297047 $22.98 11/17/14 10/21/14 Alpha Mike Foxtrot: Rare Tracks 1994- Wilco NON CD 075597954395 543675 $39.98 11/17/14 10/21/14 2014 (4CD) Alpha Mike Foxtrot: Rare Tracks 1994- Wilco NON A 075597954401 543674 $89.98 11/17/14 10/21/14 2014 (4LP w/Digital Download) What's Your 20?
