The “Extended Versions” Live series was initially produced by BMG Special Products (the budget-price label imprint of music industry behemoth Bertelsmann Music Group, aka “BMG”) in the early 2000s as a way to re-purpose some of the dormant/out of print material in their extensive vaults, while also providing retailers with a variety of low-priced “rack filler” CDs.
When BMG merged with Sony Music a few years later, the series continued under the new company’s “CMG” (for “Custom Marketing Group”) imprint. Early BMG-only printings featured a subtitle on the front cover of each disc proclaiming that they were part of “THE ENCORE COLLECTION,” whatever that was. This distinction was dropped from subsequent Sony-era releases. With Sony’s vast catalogue added to the pool of available artists, the “Extended Versions” Live series flourished, unleashing a steady flow of new titles that continue to this day.
