The DualDisc CD/DVD hybrid is finally getting a wider release this month thanks to Sony/BMG. Many naysayers on the net have already dismissed the format in part due to problems with an earlier version. But I think the format has potential giving the fan a richer experience with music, video, liner notes, behind the scenes footage, and a myriad of other possibilities.

The HollywoodReporter.com provides some basic release details: "After postponing a fall 2004 launch, Sony BMG is set to introduce its first DualDisc titles. A blitz of 18 releases will arrive Feb. 8; more will arrive Feb. 22 and March 1\. Among the scheduled DualDisc releases are AC/DC’s "Back in Black," David Bowie’s "Reality," Destiny Child’s "Destiny Fulfilled" and Miles Davis’ "Kind of Blue." Titles by Good Charlotte, Incubus, Usher, Yo-Yo Ma and Los Lonely Boys are also set for release. The launch will feature current and catalog titles and will be followed by a second group of at least 10, tentatively scheduled for late March. Releases will then come on a regular schedule, Sony BMG executives say. DualDisc is a dual-sided CD/DVD hybrid, featuring standard two-channel 16-bit/44.1kHz audio on one side and such multimedia content as high-resolution, surround-sound audio mixes, videos and documentary footage, Web links, liner notes and photos on the other. The major labels test-marketed the product last year in Boston and Seattle."
