Garth Brooks’ new box set, The Limited Series, has gone Platinum, selling over one million boxed sets (six million discs). The boxes set includes three previous albums, a DVD and a Lost Sessions disc that features 11 unreleased songs, including Good Ride Cowboy, Garth’s smash hit tribute to Chris LeDoux. It achieved Wal-Mart’s highest volume of sales ever for the first day of a musical release and continues to be a “must have” item for music fans around the country and Canada.
The Limited Series is available exclusively at Wal-Mart for $25. “We certainly anticipated that an item as incredible as this boxed set would be tremendously popular,” said David Porter, Wal-Mart vice president for merchandise. “And for it to go Platinum in such a short period of time — that simply shows how great this selection is. Going Platinum for a boxed set in just two weeks is a huge accomplishment … and it just makes sense that Garth Brooks is the one to do it!”
The boxed set contains three classic Garth albums: Sevens, Scarecrow and Double Live. Also included is All Access, a never-before-seen DVD with behind-the-scenes footage, The Lost Sessions, a new CD with 11 previously unreleased songs, and a 68-page booklet.
The Lost Sessions, featuring “Good Ride Cowboy,” is a brand new CD with previously unreleased songs that Garth personally chose from his vault.
