Journey continues its reign at the very top of the short list of second generation San Francisco rock bands whose music has truly stood the test of time. With over 43 million records sold in the U.S. alone, Journey's rich archive of CDs and DVDs is one of the cornerstones of the Columbia Records and Columbia/Legacy catalog. For the first time in ten years, a major bloc of the Journey album catalog has been newly repackaged. The band's fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh consecutive studio LPs, the landmark INFINITY (1978), EVOLUTION (1979), DEPARTURE (1980), and ESCAPE (1981) respectively - the latter two as expanded editions with multiple bonus tracks - along with an expanded edition of their all-time best-selling GREATEST HITS (1988, 14-times platinum, over 500 weeks on the chart, now with one bonus track) will arrive in stores August 1st on Columbia/ Legacy, a division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAIN�MENT.
