CHATSWORTH, Calif., Feb. 4 — Image
Entertainment, Inc., a leading licensee and distributor of optical disc
programming, today
announced the signing of an exclusive license
agreement with Eagle Rock Entertainment that will see the Company releasing
28 premium music titles on
DVD in the coming months.

DVDs to be released include Carmen McRae: Live in
Tokyo, Diane Schuur and the Count Basie Orchestra, Chick Corea: Remembering
Bud Powell, The
Manhattan Transfer: Vocalese Live and Rickie Lee
Jones: Live From the Wiltern Theatre.

Martin W. Greenwald, Image’s President and CEO said,
“We are delighted to add this exemplary lineup of programming to our ever
growing DVD music
roster. Eagle Rock has a tremendous catalog of titles
and we are enjoying great preorder success with upcoming DVD releases from
the Bee Gees, Janet
Jackson and Joni Mitchell.

”Music DVD,“ Greenwald continued, ”is a relatively
untapped genre in comparison to the number of motion pictures being released
on DVD. Image has
recognized a real opportunity and taken the lead in
this category of DVD programming. To date Image has released dozens of music
related DVDs and we
will continue to aggressively explore other licensing
opportunities for all types of music programming: Pop, Rock, Jazz and
Classical.”
