    • The Ultimate Edition of one of the best-selling soundtracks of all time is now newly remastered and re-sequenced with access to exclusive online content.

    Musically, Dirty Dancing re-wrote record books in the music industry and became a phenomenon all its own. Sixteen years after its initial release the film's soundtrack and three follow-up releases have sold over 32 million units worldwide. On December 9 2003, BMG will release the Ultimate Dirty Dancing CD newly remastered and for the first time, every song from the hit movie sequenced in the order it appears in the film - 26 songs on one CD!

    Simultaneously, Artisan Home Entertainment brings you the Dirty Dancing Ultimate Edition DVD rated PG-13.The 2-disc DVD features exclusive footage including a sneak peek of the upcoming "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights" movie - in theatres February 2004.

    The movie Dirty Dancing first hit theaters on August 25, 1987. Having cost only $6 million dollars to make, it has grossed over $170 million to date, making it one of the most profitable independent films of all time. Winner of 2 Academy Awards, a Golden Globe and an ASCAP Award for Best Original Song ("I've Had The Time Of My Life"), music has always been the heart of the movie and the core of its success.

    What's surprising about the soundtrack, and undoubtedly one of the reasons for its enduring popularity, is how it manages to incorporate both the music of the story's setting - the summer of 1963 - as well as the popular sounds of the '80s, in a way that perfectly fits the context of the drama. Not only does it satisfy the audience's need to see the couple together in an almost musical ending to the story - and we get that, along with one final, passionate kiss - but the scene brings all of the characters together: parents, grandparents, children, spanning several generations at once. Times may change, the fox trot may no longer be in style, but music and dance still has the power to unite us regardless of the year we're living in.

    Like the movie, the album, and the Dirty Dancing phenomenon, the ending brings people of diverse backgrounds together through its irresistible appeal...one that will have viewers and listeners dancing long into the 21st century.
