The group will be following in the footsteps of Journey and the Eagles who also had their album sold exclusively by a large retailer and will also have a 3-disc package.
All three groups are managed by Azoff Music Management who has done this with both Journey and the Eagles, using Wal-Mart as the large retailer.
Earth, Wind & Fire will release a box set including new tracks, a live CD, and a DVD of the band in concert. The box set will be out next year.
This will be the band’s first CD with original material since the Illumination album in 2005.
