VITAPHONIC STEREO

Containing covers, live tracks and original songs by Warner Bros. artists, this digital-only set was put together by Warner Bros. as a $7.99 iTunes exclusive available Dec. 1st '09. A week later, it was also made available for download through amazon and other digital retailers.

The first compilation of its kind from WB, it boasts 9 tracks previously unavailable for sale.

The very limited promo-only double vinyl edition was to be a give-away for radio stations, but many ended up at resellers / ebay.





I didn't plan to open my copy until Christmas, but my friend Jeff told me it contained colored vinyl and the WB logo labels so I had to see it for myself!

Indeed, beautiful transparent green and red vinyls housed in a single jacket in white sleeves with an insert.  Would have been a sweet gatefold with expanded info from the insert on the inside- like the source info of each track, year recorded, etc. In any case, a very cool promo!
