Swag Tuesday

Courtesy of Rhino.com, today's Swag Tuesday booty is a special package of four fantastic items specially selected by Rhino.com for JMG readers: 1) Total Pop! - A four-disc box set from Erasure, 2) Break-Up, a musical collaboration between Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson, 3) $50 in Hi-Def Digital Downloads, and 4) Four classic New Order albums reissued on deluxe vinyl. Whew!

Rhino.com pays Erasure more than "A Little Respect" with TOTAL POP! - DELUXE BOX, a 3-CD/1-DVD collection featuring remastered versions of the group's first 40 singles-sequenced chronologically on two CDs spanning 1985 to 2007-plus 20 years of vintage live recordings on a third CD and a DVD of rare BBC performances. An accompanying 76-page booklet boasting new notes and an exclusive interview lavishes even more "L'Amour."

In 2006, critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Pete Yorn contacted actress and Atco recording artist Scarlett Johansson with the idea to record a duets album in the spirit of Serge Gainsbourg's 1960s recordings with Brigitte Bardot. Win a copy of the results - Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson's "Break Up." Here's an audio sample.


$50 in Rhino Hi-Def Digital Downloads - these are CD-quality downloads that work on most MP3 players (including iPods), but blow MP3s away in sound & clarity, and Rhino.com is the only place to get them. Plus, if MP3s are still your thing, Rhino.com's are encoding at 320Kbps, higher than iTunes or Amazon - plus the Rhino.com Album of the Week is Aretha Franklin's "Aretha's Best," just $5.99 for 20 unforgettable tracks!


And last but not least, Rhino.com is giving away four deluxe New Order reissues on 180-gram vinyl, complete with restored album artwork and inner sleeves - these are real beauties. Win deluxe vinyl copies of "Movement," "Power, Corruption & Lies," "Low-life," "Brotherhood."
