Sophomore Album Will Be A DualDisc

Yahoo Music is reporting SONY BMG, owner of RCA Records will release Clay's sophomore album on a DualDisc, similar to Bo Bice's release last December. DualDiscs are playable on both sides and therefore the disc will not bear a label. Most DualDisc releases have the regular CD on one side and a DVD on the other side which normally features exclusive videos, concert footage, a surround sound DVD-Audio version of the album and artist computer software.

The sophomore album will also be offered on a regular CD. It is scheduled for release 'soon', Clay said earlier this week.

Pricing for a DualDisc is relatively on par with regular CD's. At last check, Bo Bice's normal CD was $12.99 on Amazon, while the DualDisc version was a dollar more, at $13.99.

From Yahoo Music:

Sony BMG is set to release more than 100 DualDisc titles in 2006. The shipment total is expected to surpass its 2005 output of more than 13 million units on 102 titles. Among the acts with DualDisc titles in the first half of this year are Pink, Dixie Chicks, Barry Manilow, Teddy Geiger, Miranda Lambert, Clay Aiken, Weird Al Yankovic, the Fray, the Jonas Brothers and London Pigg.
