It is available on a 2-CD Sony Essential Classics set, paired with
a splendid performance of the Eighth.  However, buyer beware!  The
remastering of the Third imposes a severe editing defect on the Scherzo
of the Third--one entire passage is simply omitted.

To the best of my knowledge, Sony has never remedied this defect.
