Money for nothing best of in 2 LP format

The difference is negligible tbh on that particular song when the outro is cut.  A different TR I could understand.  Makes you wonder why they bothered, unless they're working on the recording anyway and this is just a teaser... 

I insist on my theory. They would had liked to use the París versión but something might happened to that tapes so they had to search for Another version of Portobello.

We know them to well to believe they wanted to offer something new by themselves and made the fans happy. Naaaaaa .

It would be easy for them just to remaster from the original CD master if they wanted to make life very easy for themselves.   To do an entirely new mix for a song is much more complicated; finding the source; transferring it to digital, cleaning the tracks, spending time mixing , then finally mastering.  They must be working on the source material for another reason.

A different TR I could understand.

even on a whole song, differences between two gigs during the LOG tour is often negligible

like Hal said "Mark played almost the same solos every night"

it doesn't mean the LOG wasn't great, on the contrary I love it, but I think that improvisation territory was almost inexistant

that would be really great. But indeed, why the 22 and not he 23 ?

on another subject, do you know why there are two different picture sleeves for the MFN comp ?
not exactly same Mark's pose

different countries editions ?

I would never have noticed that in a million years!   

We can't say we aren't getting anything new now!

By the way, it's interesting that Guy worked on Portobello Belle and probably has Alchemy tapes. And he wasn't on the band yet.

I can't stop listening to Portobello Belle 2022. Beautiful.

I thought that too, so they do look back!!!

Yes, different cover-layouts for the CD-Album and for the LP-Album.
The first pic with Marks "invisible" view to the left was used for the CD-cover and the second pic with Marks "invisible" view to the right side was used for the LP-cover.Also used for the 2-Track and the 4-Track-CD-single-covers and for the 7-inch-singles from 1988-89.
 Here are the two neon-light Knopflers on the records.
