Image Entertainment has earmarked a mid-June release date for its two latest Blu-ray music titles, 'Heart: Alive in Seattle' and 'Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire: Live at the Greek Theatre.'
Due June 10, both Blu-ray releases trail the HD DVD editions, which Image previously released in late 2006.
Tech specs and supplement details remain consistent, with 'Heart: Alive in Seattle' enjoying 1080i video (1.78:1) and DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio and Dolby Digital 5.0 Surround tracks, as well as PCM 2.0 Stereo.
'Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire: Live at the Greek Theatre' also features 1080i video (1.78:1), plus DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio and Dolby Digital tracks in full 5.1 Surround tracks, and PCM 2.0 Stereo.
Extras are sparse to non-existent on both titles, with only the Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire disc featuring a bonus track, "Drum Duel."
Suggested retail price has been set at $24.98 each.
You'll find specs for both of Image's music titles linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where they're listed under June 10.

More IMAX Titles Bound for HD DVD, Blu-ray
Wed Nov 07, 2007 at 11:00 AM ETTags: Disc Announcements, IMAX, Image (all tags)
Image Entertainment has announced that two dual-format releases -- 'Dolphins' and 'The Living Sea' -- will anchor its newly reconfigured April wave of next-gen IMAX titles.
According to the indie distributor, the two IMAX favorites will street April 8th on both Blu-ray and HD DVD.
'Dolphins' and 'The Living Sea' will be joined by four previously-announced HD DVD-only IMAX titles -- 'The Alps,' 'Coral Reef Adventure,' 'Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag' and 'Mystery of the Nile' -- which have all now been shifted from their original release date of January 8 to street on the same day as the two dual-format titles. (Note that at press time, Image had yet to announce any of the four earlier HD DVD titles for Blu-ray release.)
Tech specs are still preliminary, but early details indicate 1080p transfers in a recomposed 1.78:1 aspect ratio (versus IMAX's roughly 1.44:1 theatrical exhibition), plus Dolby Digital 5.1 surround audio ('Fighter Pilot' also gets a bonus Dolby TrueHD upgrade). Supplemental details are still forthcoming, but we'll keep you posted.
Suggested retail for all titles, regardless of format, will be $24.98 a pop.
As always, you'll find updated disc details for all of Image's upcoming IMAX titles linked from both our Blu-ray Release Schedule and our HD DVD Release Schedule, where they're indexed under April 8, 2008.
