eMusic have announced they are selling Paul McCartney's newest album 'Memory Almost Full' in super duper DRM free MP3. The new Macca album, out this week, is coming out on Starbucks' Hear Music outfit, of course, which, as previously reported, is a JV with US independent Concorde Music. eMusic has a long-standing relationship with Concorde, and are collaborating with the indie on the digital release of the new album, which will feature highly on both the eMusic website and email bulletin.
eMusic chief David Pakman told CMU: "We know that Paul McCartney's new album will, without a doubt, hit the sweet spot for many eMusic subscribers - eMusic customers grew up with the Beatles and Wings and are eager to hear new material from a legendary artist. We expect that they'll help spread the word about the new album, and we're proud to support Hear Music on this landmark release".
Concorde GM Gene Rumsey added: "eMusic customers have a voracious appetite for discovering new music and are the perfect audience for this great album from Paul McCartney. eMusic has been a valued partner for Concord Music Group and we believe they can bring a lot of value to the marketing and sales campaign for 'Memory Almost Full'".
