NEW YORK, June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The lights go on, and the curtain comes up - on Legacy Recordings' brand-new Setlist series of live collections from an A-list of core artists on the Columbia, Epic, and RCA labels. Hand-picked and sequenced by aficionados and (in some cases) the artists themselves, the first 11 volumes in the Setlist series - by Alabama, Blue Oyster Cult, Johnny Cash, Cheap Trick, Jefferson Airplane, Judas Priest, Kansas, Willie Nelson, Ted Nugent, Quiet Riot, and REO Speedwagon - will be available at all physical and digital retail outlets starting July 13th through Columbia/Legacy, Epic/Legacy, and RCA/Legacy, divisions of SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.

In an exciting new configuration, each single-CD volume in the Setlist series will consist of remastered .mp3-ready live tracks drawn from each artist's vast archive of live album recordings. The CD is embedded with computer-accessible .pdf files containing liner notes essays, discographical information, photography, bonus features, and more. The package itself will be a plastic-free, 100% recycled paper, recyclable eco-friendly digi-pak, and the product line will be priced for budget-minded consumers.

The Setlist series takes advantage of the multitudes of live recordings - some rarities, others released on best-selling albums, and still some others remaining previously unreleased in the vaults - until now. In the case of Alabama, Quiet Riot, and REO Speedwagon, at least half the Setlist tracks are previously unreleased. Multiple unreleased tracks or rarities can also be found on the Setlists for Blue Oyster Cult, Jefferson Airplane, Judas Priest, and Kansas. (Specifics are delineated in the album listings below.)

The Setlist series follows up Legacy's successful Playlist series launched two years ago. Each volume reflected an insider's musical tastes, with familiar tracks and hits alongside rarities, out-of-print, hard-to-find, and unreleased material that is characteristic of the Legacy experience.

The Playlist series has grown to include music from across the entire musical spectrum, from classic rock (Clash, Electric Light Orchestra, Janis Joplin, Lovin' Spoonful, Ozzy Osbourne, Lou Reed) to modern rock (Korn, Crash Test Dummies), pop (Backstreet Boys, Toni Braxton, John Denver, *NSYNC, Britney Spears), R&B (Destiny's Child, Ginuwine, R. Kelly, Luther Vandross), hip-hop (Cypress Hill, OutKast), jazz (Miles Davis, Billie Holiday), and country (Alabama, Brooks & Dunn, Johnny Cash, David Allen Coe, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Lonestar, Martina McBride). Similarly, the Setlist series will follow the same path as future batches of releases are announced.

An aggressive sales, marketing, promotion, and advertising campaign will be launched by Legacy and Sony Music in support of the Setlist series. The track listings for the first 11 volumes are as follows:
