Dual Disc Unique use for DualDisc

[Cai Campbell]

Not really MultiChannel so maybe this should be in "off topic", but since the DualDisc section has been slow (dead?) lately I figured I'd throw out this almost-interesting tidbit.

I bumped into a gal at the local mall yesterday and we started up a conversation. She started talking about a business she was involved in and asked that I take a look. She handed me a promo disc and my eyes immediately fell on the DualDisc logo!

Basically, it's got a video promo on the DVD side and an audio promo on the CD side. Okay, so it's a boring news item, but I thought it was kind of weird seeing a non-music DualDisc.

Well I guess the DualDisc folks after trying to sell them as small frisbee's for the last few months must have hit some executive in the head with one of them and the rest is history.

Better would be a regular release on one side with sampler/promo on the other.

So you are saying that this gal that Cailen met should have sung something like the role of Fricka from Das Rheingold on the CD side and then on the DVD side she could have threatened the listener with more of the same if they didn't buy the product she was offering. Which would of course would have been magic helmets?

I do not know who you are talking about. My thought was that record companies could throw in samplers to promote their other issues with each sale.

It was a joke. But obviously it was a very bad one.

Well it made me laugh.
Which probably says something strange about my listening habits.......
Still trying to track down Siegfried in Quad from 1974-ish at the London Coliseum.....
