Edited august 12.
I was thinking of SACD in general, not only Miles Davis. When did it the first SACD's come out?
Thanks to the response on the subject below. I can see that the Kind of Blue was released may 21 1999.
Listening to my only jazz record, Miles Davis - Kind of Blue - I was surprised to see, that it is dated back in 1997 (recorded in 1959).
When did the first SACD disc become available to the public?
Sorry if this has been disqussed before. In that case I haven't seen it :-)

According to Wikipedia (so probably wrong), SACD was launched in 1999.

In the late 90's years when I bought the late Audio (US) magazine in paper, I remember the first SACD release was the title Alto by DMP records, Joe Beck & Ali Ryerson: Alto
it is listed in Amazon.JP as released in 21OCT1997.
The second SACD was another DMP disc the Steve Davis Project/Quality of Silence released in 13JAN1998 according AMAZONG.JP The Steve Davis Project: Quality of Silence
After this two DMP releases Sony Music (late as always) has released the Kind of Blue and others in the middle(or around it) of 1999, unhappily Amazon.JP inform the date release of Kind of Blue as
1959 (original vinyl release date ) no the SACD release date. But this Sony Link above here by Downunder has a date of 21MAY1999 for Kind of Blue.
Regards.

1997 seemed a little too early. While I don't know the definitive answer, I'm inclined to believe the 1999 date. Last year, the Hong Kong audio-video magazine "AV", jumped the gun and celebrated SACD's 10th anniversary with a special issue. Just more evidence that 1999 is more likely the public got a hold of SACD.
Btw, somehow I've always considered September 2009 to be SACD's 10th anniversary. I wonder where I got that idea?

It should probably be October 2009: October 1999 is the month Sony's SCD-1 player was commercially released.

Note that although the two DMP recordings were the first to use a prototype of the fledgling DSD recording system outside of Sony (both were recorded in 1997!) the initial releases were downsampled CDs since there was no playback infrastructure available at the time. The actual SACD releases were in 1999 once Sony released a player. DMP also released the first multi-channel SACD a year later (they also released some of the very first CDs back in 1983)
