Revelation at Bestbuy

Postby Don » Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:05 am

I was at the Bestbuy in Los Feliz this morning having my son buy some computer accessories since he works there. I see a crowd around the T.V.'s and wonder over to see what all the hubbub is about. There is Arnel Crooning out Seperate Ways. Some people were saying " Is that the original singer", "No he is filipino but he looks and sounds like him" and "Wow, he is good". The funniest thing was at the end of the song when the people watching in the store started to applaud. The import version of Revelation (Frontiers Italy) is coming out next week at Bestbuy and they have been promoting it all week via the DVD version. It's nice to see that they were promoting the Arnel version instead of running the Houston show. The Best buy crowd demographic is just a little different from Walmart shoppers so I'm glad to see Journey getting exposure wth them. My son was like, "I guess there are a lot of Journey fans out there". If anyone didn't like what they saw they didn't say it there at that moment and my son says the employees have been getting a kick out of everyone hovering around the T.V.s all week. At this moment, however fleet it may be, Journey is relevant and that's all a 35 year old band can ask for in the twilight of its career.

This is very interesting. I wonder if they will be selling it as an import. Makes you wonder what kind of exclusive Walmart got on this CD? Maybe just on the DVD? Anybody know? This could be really good for sales, if they count as US and not import sales.

When Generations was sold in the US, wasn't Frontiers the label?

Too much, $37 bucks is the official price, just for the cd with bonus track but that will drop quicker then a lead balloon according to my boy.

I figured it would be high but not that much. Interesting to see how it will sell.

Didn't Neal make mention to Mark on the official site that Target had the CD package and was selling it for quite a bit more than WalMart? I'm pretty sure he did and he also said he didn't know where they had gotten their product. Have no idea how those sales are going.

Anyway, good news GB..thanks!
