> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
> December 2/2005
>
> The 20th Anniversary of Bullseye Records is proving to be another successful
> year as the company finally enters the global market with the announcement
> December 1st that it has now signed a 2-year distribution deal with Revolver
> Records in the UK.
>
> President Jaimie Vernon is quite enthusiastic about working with Revolver
> and had this to say about the partnership, "We have wanted to take our
> Classic Rock catalogue and new developing talent overseas for some time and
> following meetings with Revolver President Paul Birch at both Midem in
> France and Canada Music Week in Toronto, it became apparent that Revolver,
> and their distribution network through Universal Music Group, was the right
> home for our catalogue. Paul was familiar with our acts like Santers having
> licensed their material in the '80s, and Klaatu from their 1970's notoriety,
> and felt that the UK market was a place these acts and Bullseye could
> flourish."
>
> Revolver's Head of A & R, Peter Black concurs, "Revolver Records are very
> excited about working with Bullseye Records. The diversity and strength of
> the roster reflects our own catalogue and we feel Bullseye need no longer be
> a well kept secret as far as the UK is concerned. The faultless Klaatu 'Sun
> Set' package is an especially exciting proposition for us."
>
> Bullseye product will begin emerging in the UK through Revolver/Universal
> starting January 2006. Tested titles like Klaatu's back catalogue and
> Bullseye's critically acclaimed "It Was 40 Years Ago Today: A Tribute To The
> Beatles" compilation will be immediately followed by quarterly incremental
> releases of other catalogue items such as Goddo, Moxy, Santers as well as
> newer, but established, acts such as The First Time, Dave Rave, Geoff
> Gibbons and Creighton Doane (Harem Scarem).
