Mary-Kate & Ashley and Columbia Records Question - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

musicradio77 · 12-09-2003, 10:29 PM

I looked through one of the websites like mary-kateandashley.com and columbiarecords.com they have all the 10 albums being re-released last Spring. Here are the 9 albums in order:

1. "Brother for Sale"
2. "I Am the Cute One"
3. "Give Us A Mystery"
4. "Sleepover Party"
5. "Birthday Party"
6. "Ballet Party"
7. "Cool Yule"
8. "Greatest Hits"
9. "Greatest Hits 2"
10. "Greatest Hits 3"

According to an article in Yahoo Finance:

Quote:

"Mary-Kate & Ashley's singing voices are adorable, and the songwriting is stunning," said Robert Thorne, CEO and co-founder (with Mary-Kate & Ashley) of Dualstar. "Columbia Records' extensive experience in marketing music and their commitment and entusiasm for this product make Columbia the perfect distribution partner for us."

"Making these CD's were some of themost fun times we ever had," said Mary-Kate. "We are so glad that kids and their parents continue to enjoy them. We are proud to be part of the Columbia Records family and all of the amazing artists they represent," added Ashley.

That's why Mary-Kate & Ashley had signed a long term deal with Columbia Records and thanks to Sony Music present Tommy Mottola for all the re-releases that put out. I have the original CD's that was formerly released by Lightyear except the "Cool Yule" CD was originally released by Rhino Records. It was putted out since its 5-year distribution deal had ended. Does Columbia Records is still owns the rights for the soundtracks to Mary-Kate & Ashley Direct-To-Video movies like "Our Lips Are Sealed", "Getting There", "Winning London" and others? Find out!

Does anyone have any Mary-Kate & Ashley CD's from your collection either the Lightyear or the Columbia re-releases?

I've had "I Am The Cute One" since I was 6.....I believe it's the original released cd.

I have the original releases on CD from its distributor Lightyear including:

1. "Brother for Sale"
2. "I Am the Cute One"
3. "Sleepover Party"
4. "Birthday Party"
5. "Ballet Party"
6. "Greatest Hits I, II, III"

I also have a Christmas CD from another label distributor, Rhino Records, "Cool Yule". The only CD I don't have is "Give Us A Mystery". These are the original releases I have and they are not the Columbia re-releases. According to this issue of Life Story magazine, "Last year, Dualstar announced the creation of the "Mary-Kate & Ashley CD Catalog," which essentially includes all of the albums they had produced up until that time." I don't buy the same albums with a Columbia name, I have CD's without the Columbia name. The name that speaks for itself.

How do you like this picture of the original mid-50's Columbia label design the one I posted? This label was way before Mary-Kate & Ashley's new distributor produces 10 albums that are previously re-released.
