BLIND MELON Revisited On Hits/Live Sets

July 14, 2005

Greg Prato of Billboard.com is reporting that BLIND MELON will be the subject of a "Best of" CD and a live DVD this fall via Capitol/EMI Music Catalog Marketing, and will also issue a previously unreleased concert recording to digital download services. The projects will be available Sept. 27, less than a month shy of the 10-year-anniversary of BLIND MELON vocalist Shannon Hoon's death from a drug overdose.

The 19-track "Tones of Home: The Best of Blind Melon" will also be available in a limited-edition with a DVD featuring six music videos and a live performance of the group's biggest hit, "No Rain". According to guitarist Roger Stevens, its release was inspired by higher-than-expected sales for the 2002 compilation "Classic Masters".

"That exceeded [the label's] expectations of what they thought it was going to do," he tells Billboard.com. "They sold through [the pressing] — it's not that widely available anymore, so they're going to re-do it and make it better."
