TALISMAN: Double Live DVD And CD To Be Released In March

January 20, 2005

Frontiers Records has set a March 21 release date for the "World's Best Kept Secret" double live DVD and CD package from TALISMAN, the Swedish/American band led by bassist Marcel Jacob (ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, EUROPE) and vocalist Jeff Scott Soto (ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN).

"The idea of this DVD got started by a simple request from Luk De Roover, the Lokerse Feesten promoter", stated Jacob, "to come do a concert at the festival, where the added incentive was we would receive a beta of the show. Along the way to Lokeren things got added to the big plan — other shows, old videos, bits and pieces from the past and present — making it a sort of documentary in brief of the 15 years or so the band has existed."

Two complete shows recorded in the 2003 tour in support of the last studio album "Cats and Dogs" and a complete retrospective featuring behind the scenes footage, all the band's videos and more live recording from different times make "World's Best Kept Secret" double DVD a valuable addition to the fans collections and a first class audiovisual entertainment.
