Following this summer tour BMC-Group launched the first \u201cSamson &amp; Gert Music CD\u201d. The sale of this CD was a big success. Only in the Flanders region, more than 160.000 copies were sold. Eventually BMC sold more than one million of &#8220;Samson &amp; Gert&#8221; CDs. During the Christmas 1991 period, BMC-Group started to organize Christmas shows in the Elisabeth Hall in Antwerp. \u00a0During the Christmas holidays, more than 12 shows were completely sold out. To meet the market demands, extra shows were arranged later that year .
