It is still available from the UK:

 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Layla-Other-Assorted-Songs-Deluxe/dp/B004I4H8PO

 

And at Overstock:

d-Other-Assorted-Love-Songs-Super-Deluxe/5690059/product.html

 

That said, I don't know if it was meant to be a limited edition or not. 

The Live At Leeds super deluxe set was apparently limited.

 

As far as Layla goes, I finally pulled out the vinyl from the new box the
other day. Very nice sounding.
