Album Releases:

Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon: End of the Day Released: October 5

Kid Cudi, an important new voice on the music scene, arrives with star testimonies. According to Kanye West, "Cudi is a combination of constant inspiration, struggle, reality and dreams put to melody!"

A born storyteller, he brings a life-affirming message to his brilliant lyrical flow and compelling music. Universal Motown President Sylvia Rhone describes him as "at the vanguard of a game-changing new generation of artists. He crosses musical boundaries with an appeal that goes beyond genre, format, race, language, and culture.

Cudi lives easily in the hip-hop, indie rock, pop, and R&B worlds - a diversity that shows in his innovative music and his all-embracing persona."

Mr Hudson - Straight No Chaser Released: October 12

The critically acclaimed English singer-songwriter, Ben Hudson, is another Kanye West protégé and one who commands a big new following after being a popular feature of the summer Festival circuit.

This, his revelatory breakthrough album is a take-no-prisoners collection of monster pop hooks, shiny plastic synths and piercingly lyrical songs of love and disaster, heartache and hope. Chockfull of punchy, singalong pop songs, such as glam slamming 'White Lies', electro anthem 'Knew We Were Trouble', lyrically twisting relationship drama 'Stiff Upper Lip', bar room gospel hymn 'Lift Your Head' and consoling ballad 'Time', it's a great album for autumn listening.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Released: October 26

Fantastic news as EMI release LP replica CDs of the iconic albums from the space-rock pioneers who reached unprecedented heights of commercial and aesthetic success. Their '73 opus, Dark Side of the Moon, remained on the album charts for an astounding 14 years, making it one of the best-selling records ever.

The Wall was ranked number 87 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and praised as "Hypnotic in its indulgence....Rock-star hubris has never been more electrifying." Also re-released are: Wish You Were Here, Ummagumma, Meddle, Animals, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Atom Heart Mother, Saucerful of Secrets and Momentary Lapse of Reason.

DVD Releases:

Dirty Dancing Released: October 5

The death of Patrick Swayze makes this re-release ultra poignant. Headstrong 17-year-old Baby Houseman hardly expects her family's usual summer vacation in the Catskills to be momentous. But then Baby spies Johnny Castle, the resort's dance instructor from the wrong side of the tracks.

Johnny's facing a crisis: his dance partner and friend Penny is pregnant and has reluctantly decided to get an abortion. This leaves Johnny a solo act...until Baby agrees to take Penny's place. She has to learn how to dance first, however, and as Johnny teaches her the choreography's sexy, seductive moves, the two fall in love. Re-categorised as a 12 certificate, this makes perfect watching for the next generation of Baby's.

One Tree Hill: Complete Series 6 (6dvd) Released: October 5

The popular teen drama ‘One Tree Hill' follows the story of two estranged half-brothers, Lucas and Nathan Scott who lead very different lives in a small North Carolina town. This release contains every addictive episode from the sixth series.

The journeys of those who hail from Tree Hill have been vast, from Lucas's tentative steps off the basketball court into high school popularity and now, four years later, publishing novels; from Nathan and Haley's first kiss to marriage; from Peyton and Brooke's deep friendship to their estrangement and back. The powerful stories of each character continue to progress, joined by new mysteries and relationships.

The Hitcher Released: October 5

Music video director Dave Meyers's debut film is an updated version of the 1986 shocker, featuring Sean Bean in the title role of a chillingly sadistic hitchhiker. Twenty-something couple Grace and Jim embark on a road trip across the American Southwest.

Things get off to a bad start when they almost run over a hitchhiker in the middle of a rainstorm, and then leave him to fend for himself. When they later run into the man, who calls himself John Ryder, at a gas station, their consciences get the best of them, and they agree to give him a ride to the next town. Big Mistake! Horror and gore ensue, with plenty of fright in all the right places.
