The band Green Day has come up with a novel idea for making a bit more money off of its back catalog of music.The band, in association with music label Warner Brothers, is selling pre-printed CD-Rs with the artwork of its last 4 major-label releases.
The $7.99 package includes five CD-Rs featuring artwork from Green Day albums "Dookie," "Nimrod," "Warning" and a new album, "American Idiot," as well one with a rare photo of the band. A coordinated color slimline case is included with each CD-R.The band's Web site says that fans should "burn responsibly. Download music legally and burn your own Green Day compilations." But fans who already have the music in digital form (legally or not) will appreciate the opportunity to own their own CDs, without being stuck with a handmade look.The Green Day CD-Rs are available at the band's website, GreenDayMusic.com.
