“Performer and songwriter Mariah Carey has set April 15th as the in-store date for the most eagerly anticipated album of the year, E=MC². The 11th studio album of her career, E=MC² is the follow-up to The Emancipation Of Mimi, Mariah’s worldwide 10 million selling #1 album, which generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemporary R&B Album), 2 #1 singles and countless more industry honors during its 18-month stay on the charts. The first single from E=MC² is “Touch My Body,” written and produced by Mariah Carey, C. “Tricky” Stewart, and The-Dream, and blasting out worldwide on February 12th. The video for “Touch My Body” was directed by feature filmmaker Brett Ratner - Internet, cable and network premieres for the video will be announced in the weeks ahead. In addition to C. “Tricky” Stewart and The-Dream, other guest producers joining Mariah on E=MC² will include Jermaine Dupri, DJ Toomp, Stargate, Will I Am, Bryan Michael Cox, Nate “Danjahandz” Hills and James Poyser.. E=MC² is executive produced by Mariah Carey and Antonio “LA” Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group.

The Emancipation Of Mimi, released April 12, 2005, was an industry phenomenon for the mega-platinum award-winning superstar - Soundscan’s biggest-selling album of the year, bringing total sales of Mariah’s albums, singles and videos to more than 160 million worldwide, making her the most successful female recording artist in history. Mimi featured “We Belong Together” (winner of the Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song Grammys) and “Don’t Forget About Us,” Mariah’s 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively. They tied one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley’s 17 #1’s. Mariah is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 48 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with the potential to surpass the Beatles’ all-time high of 20 #1 hits.”

B 52s Funplex CD

Funplex B-52s

“Along with producer Steve Osborne (New Order, Happy Mondays, Doves) the band have created an album as cutting edge, distinctive & danceable as their debut album in 1979. The B-52’s influence cuts a wide path through much of so-called Modern Rock– from the low-fi efforts of nouveau garage bands and the Retro-Hip of Ultra-Lounge to the very ascendance of Dance music itself. Twenty years and 20 million albums into a career that began as a low-rent lark in Athens, Georgia, the B-52’s remain the most unlikely Pop superstars ever. The first band to glorify Pop culture with an almost Warholian sense of purpose, their absurd B-movie style and off-kilter sound celebrated the weirdness lurking just beneath the surface of Americana.”

U.S. Presidential Golden Dollar Coin & Stamp Collection

“This historic collection brings together a series of collector folios—one for each President—each consisting of two golden legal tender dollar coins issued in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are part of the long-anticipated Presidential Dollar Coins Series, the first such coins ever issued by the U.S. Mint.

One coin will be minted in Philadelphia, the other in Denver. Each will feature a forward-facing portrait of the President it honors. Moreover, each will have the date of issue and mintmark (P for Philadelphia; D for Denver) incused on the edge, in addition to the mottos In God We Trust and E Pluribus Unum.

These are the only U.S. coins ever issued with a portrait of the Statue of Liberty on the obverse, in place of the customary inscription of the word “Liberty.” These distinctive features make the coins all the more unique, and all the more desirable to collectors.

The coins in this series will be minted in extremely brief minting runs. After each run is complete, the coining dies will be destroyed, thereby assuring the instant scarcity prized by knowledgeable collectors.

Adding to the distinction of this landmark collection, each set will include an official, out-of-issue U.S. Commemorative Postage Stamp bearing the image of the featured President.”
