JOURNEYs new three-disc CD/DVD package REVELATION has sold more than 104,000 copies in its debut week according to Wal-Mart Stores, marking the bands biggest first weeks sales since 1996s TRIAL BY FIRE. Released June 3, REVELATION is being sold exclusively at Wal-Mart and Sams Club in North America, Walmart.com and Samsclub.com, and Journeys official website, Journeymusic.com. REVELATIONs first weeks sales marks a 1400% increase over the bands 2005s first weeks sales of GENERATIONS.
"We are thrilled with the early success of Journey's Revelation music project, and clearly our customer is excited about it too, said Jeff Maas, Divisional Merchandise Manager, Entertainment, Wal-Mart U.S. We believe that if we continue to find innovative products, priced to showcase the value, our customers will show their excitement by purchasing the product. Journey has been great to work with and clearly this reflects a win for them and for our customer.
The first disc consists of 11 new songs, the second is filled with 11 re-recorded classics, and the third is a live, in-concert DVD. All of the music on REVELATION was produced by Kevin Shirley (who previously worked with JOURNEY on their Platinum-certified TRIAL BY FIRE album).
REVELATION marks a new chapter in the legendary career of multi-Platinum rockers JOURNEY, thanks to two singles at Rock and AC radio (Never Walk Away and After All These Years) and rave reviews, including the New York Times who hailed: the band seems to have taken rock vitamins: it feels alive.
I AGREE IT IS IMPRESSIVE, THOUGH STEVE PERRY IS THE BEST. THE OTHER GUY WHO SANG ON THE FIRST FEW JOURNEY ALBUMS WAS AWESOME, TOO AND THEN HE WAS TOAST...BUT THEN ESCAPE COME OUT AND I GUESS THEY DIDN"T NEED HIM ANYMORE. TOO BAD.
