Congratulations  to the following Interscope Geffen A&M artists on their 51st ANNUAL GRAMMY  NOMINATIONS:

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Highly Anticipated "Beats™ by Dr. Dre™"
High Definition Headphones
Exclusively Available at Apple® and Best Buy®

 The Most Advanced Headphones Ever Developed, Monster's "Beats By Dr. Dre" Let Consumers Hear What They've Been Missing –
 Music the Way the Artist Intended

Brisbane, CA, July 22, 2008 –Legendary artist and producer Dr. Dre, Interscope Geffen A&M Chairman Jimmy Iovine and Monster®, the leader in audio/video accessories, announced that their new Beats™ by Dr. Dre™ high definition powered isolation™ headphones will be available on July 25th at Apple® retail and online stores (www.apple.com), Best Buy® stores and BestBuy.com®, as well as the official website beatsbydre.com, for a price of $349.95.

To provide consumers with a brand new level of headphone audio performance with extreme clarity, deep bass and full power which had been lacking in conventional headphones, Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine, and Monster set out to develop a new type of headphone with the capability to reproduce the full spectrum of sound that musical artists and producers hear in professional recording studios.

Noted Dr. Dre: "Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound, but people can't really hear it with normal headphones. Most headphones can't handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line: the music doesn't move you.  With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear and listen to the music the way they should – the way I do."

The Quest for True High Definition Headphone Sound

After endless acoustical engineering research, Monster finally achieved the kind of rich, high definition sound Dr. Dre was seeking. By combining new advanced materials, sophisticated construction, extra large drivers, and a powerful digital amplifier, Beats™ By Dre™ deliver clear vocals, detailed highs, and super low, deep bass.  Furthermore, to recreate the quietness of an isolated recording studio listening experience, they also feature powered ambient noise-isolation, allowing consumers to hear all the details and nuances in their music.

Since hearing is believing, Beats™ by Dr. Dre™ headphones are exclusively available at Apple and Best Buy, which are providing special demonstration stations at select stores that give consumers the opportunity to experience the headphones for themselves.

Beats™ by Dr. Dre™ are designed to provide maximum performance when used with all of today's portable music devices – and they're being released just in time for use with the new Apple® iPhone™ 3G.  In fact, for consumers who have an iPhone, Blackberry®, and other music-enabled phones, Beats™ By Dr. Dre™ comes with additional Monster iSoniTalk™ headphone cable with integrated high grade microphone and answer button.

"Dre and I have been developing these headphones for a while and in Monster we found a partner that could work with us to crystallize his vision and develop them to the quality level he expects," said Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records. "Beats™ By Dr. Dre™ is yet another example of Interscope's commitment to working together with its artists in developing new avenues to experience music."

Kevin Lee, VP of Product and Marketing for Monster, noted: "After three years of hard work, we're extremely excited about launching Beats™ By Dr. Dre™.  This is the most advanced headphone ever built and delivers a music experience I think people will find amazing."
Beats™ by Dr. Dre™ feature a unique stylish look and fashion, and come with a convenient, hip carrying case. The wide adjustable headband, soft plush hinged ear cups and high-quality Monster cable makes the Beats listening experience unmatched for comfort and sound.

SANTA MONICA, CA - April 11, 2008 -- Mark Ronson, Grammy Award winner for Producer of the Year, Record of the Year and Pop Vocal Album (the latter two for his work with Amy Winehouse) will bring his Allido Records label to Interscope Geffen A&M Records. The joint venture between Allido, co-owned by Ronson and Rich Kleiman, and the Interscope Records label will be home to a wide range of artists and projects.

"One of the foundations of Interscope has been partnering with producers who can move the needle of popular culture," said Jimmy Iovine. "Mark has that rare ear for great songs and artists who will have extraordinary careers. We're thrilled to be in business with him." Ronson, as an artist or producer, will not be exclusive to Allido/Interscope.

The first artist signed to Allido/Interscope is Wale (pronounced wah-lay), a young, go-go influenced, hip-hop sensation from Washington, DC, who has been touted in both Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly as an artist to watch in 2008. His debut album is expected by year's end.

"Jimmy Iovine is a dude," explains Ronson. "The plain fact that he started out as an engineer on Born To Run, went on to produce records for U2 and Patti Smith, and then formed one of the most influential labels in the history of American music encapsulates every reason why I would want to be in business with Interscope Records. I've always tried to balance discovering brilliant new talent and producing great records; and, along with Rich Kleiman, then putting those records out through Allido Records. Interscope is the perfect place for us to do that. What a dude."

"Although we've signed individual artists to majors since our inception, Allido has always developed organically and independently. However, the time has arrived to formally bring the label to a place that has the infrastructure of a major but that is still willing to think outside the box," explained Kleiman. "Interscope has a reputation for being a true partner in their joint ventures and this is an invaluable characteristic."

"Mark and Rich have an incredible working partnership that's resulted in a true melding of artistic and business vision," commented Luke Wood, the executive at Interscope Geffen A&M who brokered the deal for the company. "We're looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Allido."

Ronson was nominated for three Grammys at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards, winning for Producer of the Year (for Winehouse's Back To Black album, its "Rehab" and "You Know I'm No Good" tracks, Lily Allen's "Littlest Things," and his own album, Version), Record of the Year ("Rehab") and Pop Vocal Album(Back To Black). The other nomination was for Album of the Year (for Back To Black). An internationally renowned DJ, Ronson has also recently worked on albums from Christina Aguilera and Robbie Williams.

Allido Records, based in New York City, was launched in 2004 as an independent imprint and has since released a handful of albums via individual artist deals, including releases by Rhymefest, and Ronson himself, and Daniel Meriweather later this year. Allido has worked on numerous music supervision projects and released soundtracks to the Oscar-nominated movie Half Nelson and a compilation series for the Hard Rock Hotel Group.
