"Back In Black" is among the first titles released on the new format DualDisc developed by Epic/Sony Music.

The documentary, similar to the "Ultimate Albums - Back In Black" shown on VH1 last year, features some footage not included in the original program, with Malcolm and Angus playing bits of the album tracks, and interviews with all the band members. The format is currently being test-marketed, and only available at retail in Boston and Seattle. It is not available at various internet music stores.
