It's a dualdisc -- CD one side and DVD-A on the other side. It's available from the US, but can also be sourced via Amazon.co.uk.

according to this
available as a DualDisc but be aware this does not always mean there is any sort of surround sound mix (which of course the SACD does have)

The NGD by Simple Minds is excellent on DVD espexially being in DTS. Sounds like a totally different album.
