Warner Bros. Records' holiday gift ideas

* Big Four DVD - When the “Big Four”, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax, shared a stage together on June 22nd 2010 in Sofia, Bulgaria, it was the moment their fans had waited decades for. That monumental show was beamed live into over 1000 theatres worldwide via satellite in a special HD cinematic event. On November 2nd, 2010 this legendary concert will be available on DVD through Warner Bros. Records.

“The Big Four Live From Sofia” includes full shows from all four bands on a two-disc set as well as behind the scenes and interview footage. In addition to the two DVD set and the corresponding Blu-Ray, there will be a limited edition "Super Deluxe" Box Set including the 2 DVD set (with over two hours of footage not seen or heard in theaters), five CD's with ALL 5 HOURS of music, a 24 page booklet, a two-sided poster, photos of each band, and a collectable Big 4 guitar pick.

* Gift Wrapped II: Snowed In - The official holiday release from Warner Bros.

Furthermore, the holiday cover songs featured this year are both ambitious and risque as Foxy Shazam performs "Heaven on Their Minds" from Jesus Christ Superstar, The Ready Set take on Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime", Oasis cover their fellow UK rocker's Slade's "Merry Christmas Everybody," WMG newcomers House of Heroes do a stunning "O Come O Emmanuel," and The Dirt Drifters bring country to the U2 classic "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)".

The package features a hardbound book with notes, lyrics, photos of the poets, and biographical essays on each. In addition to a new method of lyricism, Merchant stretches out musically on Leave Your Sleep by collaborating with a broad spectrum of artists—some old friends, some she has admired from afar—including the Wynton Marsalis Quartet, Medeski Martin & Wood, members of the New York Philharmonic, The Klezmatics, Lúnasa and Hazmat Modine. “The sessions were recorded in live ensemble settings to capture a fresh and spontaneous energy,” notes Merchant. “They were some of the most magical experiences I’ve ever had making music.”
