J-Bird Records Takes Flight with New Website At www.j-birdrecords.com Site Unveils This Week with Music Boulevard Affiliation Program, New Advertising Packages and Enhanced Graphics Site Ready to Expand to Include AT&T's a2b Music Player, New Merchandise Center and New Search and Chat Rooms WILTON, Conn., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- J-Bird Records today launched its new Web site at www.j-birdrecords.com complete with an affiliation with N2K's Music Boulevard, a new program for advertisers and enhanced graphics. The site, which to date boasts in excess of 100,000 impressions per month, has implemented the creation of advertising banners, which have attracted takers from Madison Avenue to Silicon Valley. The N2K Music Boulevard affiliation makes it possible for J-Bird Records to tap into Music Boulevard's unparalleled Internet distribution mechanism, giving J-Bird consumers access to a selection of over 300,000 CDs. In addition, J-Bird Records will earn commissions ranging from 7% to 15% for every purchase that originates through this program. ''By implementing these changes, we continue to make our site more rewarding not only for the consumer, but for the music industry,'' said Jay Barbieri, Founder and CEO J-Bird Records. ''We will continue to seek advertising opportunities and affiliations that create new revenue streams within the frame work of the J-Bird Music Group business model.'' Later this year, J-Bird will launch a new search engine that will make it possible for the consumer to match their musical interests with specific J-Bird artists. In addition, J-Bird Records, through its distribution deal with AT&T's a2b Music, will offer special downloads complete with the free a2b Music player. J-Bird Records (www.j-birdrecords.com) was launched as the music industry's first World Wide Web recording label and was founded by Jay Barbieri in October, 1996. Since then the label has gone public (OTC Bulletin Board: JBRD - news) and has seen its catalogue swell to more than 250 titles in that time. In addition, J-Bird Records is now represented in more than 50,000 retail accounts through the Navarre Corporation [Nasdaq:NAVR - news], the industry's leading distributor of independent record labels across the country.
