Integrated Video and Touch Screen Ads Will Promote Album’s Availability

NEW YORK – Aug. 18, 2009 – TouchTunes, the largest interactive entertainment network in North America, has been chosen by Universal Music Group to promote the re-issue of Jump Back: The Best Of The Rolling Stones 1971-1993 when it drops August 18. Experts at reaching the 21-34 year-old demographic, TouchTunes will cross-promote Jump Back on its integrated network of digital jukebox screens and Barfly television screens. The promotion marks the first time TouchTunes will leverage Barfly with custom messaging to encourage plays on the jukebox.

TouchTunes’ on-screen promotion for the album release includes custom-designed banners and an on-screen billboard that will attract customers to the jukebox. Custom ads will compliment the campaign by featuring animated banners on Barfly-enabled TV screens with its unique custom messaging that encourages patrons to play the album. TouchTunes will be tracking Rolling Stones’ plays and capturing the influence of the Barfly call out.

“Only TouchTunes can run coordinated messages on both digital jukebox and Barfly screens to further engage patrons. This provides exciting new possibilities and positions TouchTunes as the ultimate interactive entertainment network,” said Vicki Saunders, vice president, digital media and music marketing, TouchTunes. “This is just one of the many things we have planned to create the best experience for our customers, at our 40,000 locations across the country.”

Originally released in November 1993, this definitive collection gathers eighteen of the group’s classics from the seventies and eighties. such as the transatlantic Top Ten hits “Tumbling Dice,” “Fool To Cry,” “Emotional Rescue” and the much-loved “Start Me Up.” It also includes the ultimate rock anthem “Brown Sugar,” the ballad “Angie” and the dance-flavored “Miss You,” three U.S. number one singles in wildly different styles–a testament to the band’s versatility, creativity and lasting appeal.

Jump Back kicks off in style with the trademark guitar riffs of “Start Me Up” and “Brown Sugar.” It continues with the band’s infectious cover of Bob and Earl’s mod favorite “Harlem Shuffle,” the rallying cry of “It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (But I Like It),” and cherry-picks its way through eleven Top 5 studio albums, including the country-tinged “Wild Horses” and the intoxicating “Bitch” from 1971’s acknowledged masterpiece Sticky Fingers, and the rockers “Mixed Emotions” and “Rock And A Hard Place” from 1989’s Steel Wheels.

Jump Back eschews the temptation to play it safe and simply run through the group’s catalog chronologically, and is intelligently sequenced for maximum enjoyment at a party or as in-car entertainment. The groove-oriented “Hot Stuff,” from 1976’s Black And Blue, makes a fine segue between the floor-fillers “Miss You” and “Emotional Rescue.” And the sweet jazz-soul of “Waiting On A Friend,” from 1981’s Tattoo You, fits snugly alongside “Beast Of Burden”–a U.S. Top Ten entry never released as a single in the U.K.– and “Wild Horses.” The snarling “Respectable,” from 1978’s Some Girls, proves the Stones could match the punks they had influenced so much, while the collision of reggae, dub, dance and politically charged lyrics that is “Undercover Of The Night” from 1983 stills jumps out of the speakers 25 years on.
