Nothing Is Sound – Switchfoot (DualDisc, Wal-Mart exclusive): version 1
Saved 2026-09-26 21:20 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the Wal-Mart exclusive US DualDisc of Switchfoot's Nothing Is Sound (Columbia CN 96535, UPC 827969653524), completing a barcode named by family/nothing-is-sound. Identity, tracklist, credits and DVD-side contents from Discogs release 10054591; DualDisc context (no XCP) and the Walmart bonus song from Wikipedia; DVD content corroborated by the Jesus Freak Hideout DualDisc review. US market from the Discogs record (release country US, Wal-Mart exclusive) with Discogs marketplace stats. Amazon.com searched three ways: only the standard DualDisc B000CDG5AY (CN96427) found, recorded as a markets gap. Open: whether the Walmart bonus "Another Christmas (Old Borego)" was a download or on this disc (disputed gap); release date Discogs 2005-09-26 vs Wikipedia 13 Sept; no licensed cover image; GS1 registrant of 0827969 derived from Sony BMG as on the sibling CD page. No stubs created (brand/columbia-records, company/sony-bmg-music-entertainment, family/nothing-is-sound exist).. This is the current version.

| us-dualdisc-walmart | media | disputed | Wikipedia says albums bought at Walmart carried the Christmas song "Another Christmas (Old Borego)" as a bonus; the Discogs tracklist for this DualDisc lists only the 12 album songs, and Amazon's "Bonus Download Track" CD edition (B003YV5X04) describes the song as a free download, so it may have come as a download rather than on the disc | ^wiki-album |

Jesus Freak Hideout's review of the DualDisc described the documentary and surround mix as its main draw.[^jfh-dualdisc] Wikipedia records a Walmart bonus song, "Another Christmas (Old Borego)", which Amazon's listing for a large-retailer exclusive CD edition describes as a free download.[^wiki-album][^amazon-bonus]
