I have been wanting to get the new Judas Priest release for some time now.

In stores, there are 2 versions. A "special" set, 20 bucks, with a cd and dvd in a little booklet.

Or a "DualDisc" version for 12 bucks. I had never heard of dualdisc before and there were tons of them in the racks so I figured it was a scam or something so didn't bite.

Well last night at one of the local used stores they had a dualdisc version, sealed, for 7 bucks, so I bought it.

Reading the literature that explains what dualdisc is, it states, and I quote:

"The audio side of this disc does not conform to cd specifications and therefore not all dvd and cd players will play the audio side of this disc".

WTF is up with that crap?

What "standard" is this damn thing?

I played it last night, it played fine (the audio side). Didn't try the dvd side.

The sound quality was fair, nothing spectacular, and the musical content, well, it's Judas Priest for crying out loud.

Anyway I am going to do more research. Why on earth can't they get the audio side to cd spec?
