The short answer is no. I don't know what dealers you have been speaking to,
but there isn't a single multi-session commercial disc on the market right now,
and there probably never will be. What would be the point? The only advantage
a multi-session disc has over a single session disc is that it doesn't have to
be pressed all at once. While this is certainly an advantage if you are making
your own CDs (which you said you arn't) it is not an issue on a commercial
release.
