Irving Azoff Explains: Why did manager, Irving Azoff, decide to release The Eagles CD exlusively through Wal-Mart?

“The Wal-Mart circular goes to 85 million households. There are 140 million people per week shopping at Wal-Mart. And with the Internet, people are just as happy to go online to buy a CD”.

“The Eagles are making on sales of [now] 8.5 million albums around the world, it pales in comparison to the touring revenue. The business is going to have to wake up and realize that recorded music sales are an ancillary business”. (New York Post)
