Warner's DVD-on demand service has been getting a lot of attention this week. I'd like to bring folks' eyes to Sony and ArkivMusic, which are not doing exactly the same thing, but something that I think is equally exciting. Making back titles in the Sony musical library available for both digital download and purchase on disc. Already these partners have done a host of Jerry Herman titles and a trio of Richard Rodgers discs. Next week, the following titles will become available. Click the links to see track listings over at ArkivMusic, in the instances of the "New Faces" discs, you'll see that there's a lot of music that will be available on the releases which has not been on previous disc releases of the shows:
