Ted says: "My idea was that by adding my Greatest Hits cd to your collection, I sort of spread out and infect your other classic LP or CD covers, becoming part of the main image of the classic cover art scene, like a bad Ted Poley acid trip." The main "booklet" has been completely changed to an 8 panel accordion style fold out that features not 1 but 6 different 'classic" album covers, repainted by Frank Garofolo to match the originals in almost every way except that now it in some way includes, yes you guessed it, Ted Poley. You can fold it to make your favorite of any one of the 6 covers the Front cover. To keep things legal, even though its all SPOOF and done in innocent fun, the individual bands logos will be partially "obscured" with a black ink stamp to avoid any problems with trademark infringement, but the redrawn images are fair game, they are new original art. The rest of the packaging and the actual music on the discs will remain the same.

BON JOVI TO BE THE FIRST BAND TO PLAY NEW MEADOWLANDS STADIUM: Press Release / East Rutherford, NJ - October 22, 2009 - With New Jersey's New Meadowlands Stadium as their backdrop, Grammy Award-winning hometown heroes Bon Jovi performed at a concert and media event today that announced "The Circle World Tour." The band is preparing to spend nearly two years spanning the globe, including the kickoff event of New Meadowlands Stadium, scheduled for May 26th and 27th, 2010. The New Meadowlands concerts will go on sale beginning at 10am on Saturday, October 31st, while additional tour dates go on sale November 9th and November 16th. Fans should continue to log on to www.bonjovi.com/tour for the most up to date concert and ticket on-sale information. The band's Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan and Tico Torres performed an exclusive set for a select group of 5,000 lucky contest winners, fan club members, and on-site construction workers currently at work building the New Meadowlands Stadium. Bon Jovi was also joined by New York Jets Chairman & CEO Woody Johnson, New York Giants President & CEO, John Mara, as well as President & CEO of the New Meadowlands Stadium Company, Mark Lamping. New York's powerhouse radio station WPLJ DJ, Race Taylor, served as emcee. Live footage of the event is available at www.BonJovi.com. An embeddable player is available at: www.iclips.net/widgets/jbj/jbj_embed.html. Beginning with the band's North American tour launch on February 19th, 2010 in Seattle, WA, Bon Jovi will spend much of the next two years on the road, performing 135 shows in 30 countries. Following in the footsteps of their hugely successful "Lost Highway Tour, Bon Jovi will draw fans around the world into The Circle, with a residency at London's O2 Arena in June 2010 before returning to America in the fall for an additional nationwide leg, and further dates well into 2011."It is often said that the third time is a charm, and in the case of the Bon Jovi/AEG Live relationship, this axiom certainly holds," said Randy Phillips, President and CEO of AEG Live. "AEG Live has been honored to serve as the band's worldwide tour promoters, from the 2005 'Have A Nice Day' tour to the highest grossing tour of 2008, 'Lost Highway,' to the upcoming 'The Circle World Tour' in 2010. Bon Jovi is one of the most prolific and exciting live rock bands in the world." Having sold more than 120 million albums and performed more than 2,600 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans, Bon Jovi is at their best when they're on the move, and that's truer now than ever before. The November 10th, 2009 release of Bon Jovi's new album, The Circle, and the band's subsequent world tour, provides a powerful reassertion of Bon Jovi's commitment to the hard-hitting rock & roll that has been the band's indelible signature since it began more than 26 years ago. Advanced tickets to the New Meadowlands Stadium go on sale to American Express Card members beginning at 10am on Monday, October 26th.

Evidenced nowhere better than on their current DVD release, 'There's Know Place Like Home' debuts at #5 on the Billboard DVD top sales chart. Featuring guest appearances by former members Kerry Livgren and Steve Morse, spectacular lighting, and songs previously not recorded with a symphony, this unique concert has been captured in High Definition video and Surround Sound audio. Released October 13th, TKPLH has already become the highest-charting Kansas DVD of all-time and the #1 selling DVD for RED distribution this week. The immediate success of 'There's Know Place Like Home,' should come as no surprise, as uniting Kansas with the orchestra is a natural and richly fulfilling experience. The result is a must-own DVD of a performance filmed/recorded earlier this year at the Washburn University's White Concert Hall in their original hometown of Topeka, KS and released on co-producers Jeff Glixman and Jim Gentile's StarCity label. Says Glixman: I have seen many, many Kansas shows and this one was right at the very top. The DVD contains arguably the definitive versions of 'Icarus II', 'Hold On', 'Nobody's Home' and more, as well as Kerry Livgren and Steve Morse appearing together for the first time. Add to the mix simply magnificent renditions of such Kansas classics as Carry on Wayward Son and Dust in the Wind, and you have a can't-miss recipe that has resulted in what is unquestionably one of the finest in-concert rock DVD's of 2009.
