"An announcement on October 18 claimed that The Eagles are giving Wal-Mart an exclusive on their upcoming recordings that will be made and released sans major label."

Interesting, but I don't know if that is true.

I've Googled for it but came up with nothing useful.

Basically the whole thing is a straight from musician to shop deal they've conjured up.

One day supermarkets will record and release their own.

Country supertstar Garth Brooks already signed an exclusive deal with walmart last year. Guess the Eagles saw how well he did and want a slice of the action!
