LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - The first "Saturday Night Live" CD of live performances in nearly 10 years will be sold exclusively at Target retail stores, beginning Sunday.

Television  |  Music

Priced at $13.98, "Live From SNL! Music Performances From Saturday Night Live" will feature 11 tracks from the show's past four seasons. Performers include Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Maroon 5, and Foo Fighters.

The first two entries in the SNL CD series of live musical performances -- "Saturday Night Live: 25 Years of Musical Performances, Vol. 1 and 2" -- were general retail releases distributed by DreamWorks Records in 1999. They featured performances by Paul Simon, Sting, Elvis Costello, TLC, Dr. Dre, Nirvana and Mary J. Blige, among others.

While the upcoming disc focuses on pop and rock performances, plans are afoot for separate pop and R&B/hip-hop SNL compilations. A DVD is also in the works.
