      Hi Greg, to the best of my knowledge, there were initial listings for a Blu-ray but the label never confirmed the release and the listings later disappeared. Whether a Blu-ray might appear down the road is anybody’s guess.

      I’ve done a little more digging, and the Blu-ray link is active once more. See above. Thanks, Greg!
