As an official release I’m you’re looking for the
DVD box set, right?
Unfortunately the Liberation and JB Hi Fi websites show that this
is no longer available for sale, so looks like eBay (currently nada) and other
second hand sales are the only option.
On the positive side the fund raising effort grew through the DVD
sale, this recent article on the Liberation site details..... .....

One year on from the phenomenal award winning Sound Relief
concerts an additional sum of $1,046,496.24 has been raised through sales of
the deluxe 4 DVD set recording of the concerts, with more to come!
This additional sum takes the grand total of funds generated by Sound Relief
from the twin concert events and DVD sales to an impressive $9,080,672.24,
The initial sum raised by the concerts went straight to the Bushfire Appeal for
distribution by the Victorian Government to people and communities affected.
The $1 million plus sum raised from the DVD sales will go directly to Red Cross
to develop programs and resources to better prepare communities for disasters
such as bushfires and floods.
Michael Gudinski's Liberation Music released the 4 DVD set on October 9, 2009.
"I'm delighted that the one year anniversary of the Sound Relief concerts
has coincided with the DVD set raising more than $1 million. It's a fantastic
addition to the money already raised," Michael Gudinski said.
"As with the concerts themselves, the release of the DVD set was due to
the generosity and support of the music industry on all levels - the artists
and their management, their labels and publishers, retail, media, suppliers and
so many others. Their cooperation and commitment has ensured as much money as
possible was raised. It is truly impressive to see everyone unite once again to
produce such a significant result for such a worthy cause."
The CEO of Red Cross, Robert Tickner, welcomed the donation.
"This money is very much needed. It will support our crucial everyday work
preparing Australian communities for future disasters, whether they be floods,
cyclones or bushfires."
In recognition of the devastating disasters from which Sound Relief was born
and to commemorate the anniversary of the Sound Relief concerts and all that
they stood for - a day of music, entertainment, reflection, celebration and
surprises - two of the live audio recordings from Sound Relief will be made
available to air on radio for one weekend only.
The two tracks have been exclusively cleared for Thursday 11 March 11:00am AEDT
to Sunday 14 March 11:59PM AEDT ONLY and are the Hunters & Collectors'
"Holly Grail" and Bliss N Eso's "The Sea Is Rising" -
unquestionably both stand out performances at Sound Relief.
