Amazon spin-off brings rare music
If you’re looking for that rare album from the ’70s, Amazon’s “CreateSpace” service may have the answer for you.
The Amazon announced this week that it has teamed up with EMI Music and Sony BMG, two labels usually up for starting new trends in the digital age, to bring out-of-print albums back in full glory.
Amazon acquired CreateSpace, formerly known as CustomFlix, in July of 2005. The online service allows users to pick from select music and video content and have it burned to a custom CD or DVD.
Some of the vintage albums coming back for digital distribution include Joe Strummer’s “Earthquake Weather,” Grant Green’s “Carryin’ On,” and Henry Mancini’s “Hatari Soundtrack.”
