News from Jarre UK :D

Of course I have these on CD but those who are interested may want to purchase them from Apples iTunes. I prefer CD with booklet releases but any new releases that are not available on CD then I would use Apple iTunes. 8)

Hope this topic has not yet been on the forum.

Ah yes, that's what I saw when I was gone on iTunes 3 days ago to buy Pet Shop Boys music, I'll post you a screenprint ;)

Thanks noyau for the screenprint . I can just make out in the corner The Essential. :wink:

The question is why release these particular albums and not any others? Did they just drop all the album names in a hat and pick out five or what? :roll: It seems strange to me. I suppose eventually all of JMJ’s albums will be released via iTunes through Francis Dreyfus Music if the sale figures are good. I feel a bit guilty because I have decided not to buy these :( as I said in my first post on this thread I have them on CD. I did purchase Printemps de Bourges from iTunes only because I did not have a good copy of this. So how may people have so far purchase these albums that have come available :?:

Because they were released by Francis Dreyfus Music, JM's former record company. All they want is make profit, so they only release the ones that will raise the most money....

So really you are saying that those five are the most popular to choose from which will make lots of money. Even though there are plenty more to choose from i.e. Zoolook, Rendez-vous, etc. :D

Ask uncle Francis... :lol:

He's the one who's into sales figures, I guess... :D

I tried this and this is only for certain stores in Europe. Not in the USA, or the Americas at all.

Like wise I bought it because I didn't have a decent copy. This is the first album I've ever paid for on download and quite frankly I was not impressed.

I won't be buying any of these "new" releases as I prefer to have something i can hold ie a CD.
