The agreement also grants Image exclusive international broadcast television

Sheryl Crow's self-produced third album, The Globe Sessions, was released in
the fall of 1998. The album is a mix of the Delta Blues with a New Orleans
flavor and Country influence. Continuing Crow's winning streak, the album
went on to capture the award for Best Rock Album at the 39th Annual Grammy
Awards.
The live concert from The Globe Sessions tour, taped on May 8, 1999 in
Detroit, will initially air in September on VH-1 in North America. Image
Entertainment's home video release will be a longer version of that program
featuring such hits as "If It Makes You Happy," "All I Wanna' Do," "Strong
Enough," and "My Favorite Mistake."
Mixed in both stereo and 5.1 multi-channel formats, the DVD will be released
with Dolby Digital 5.1 audio, DTS 5.1 audio and a discrete two-channel stereo
mix, supervised by Crow herself.
Martin W. Greenwald, Image's President and CEO, said, "The Sheryl Crow
agreement represents the beginning of Image's strategy to produce and
co-produce high-profile music video programming. These types of arrangements
allow the Company to secure long-term rights in a wide variety of markets and
platforms.
"Sheryl's concert is clearly going to be an exciting addition to our roster
of music programming. This agreement reinforces our intent and strategy to
remain a leading supplier of music programming on DVD."
