Record Store Day 2022 - Love Over Gold

[localhero1986]

The greatest joy and surprise at Record Store Day was in 2015 when The Honky Tonk Demos was released (with a small date error)

That one was great indeed! Still play if every now and then. Also bought Metroland and Encores but I think I’ll skip LOG.

To vgonis and all other vinyl-fans.
Yes, i also know the Zimbabwe LOG with the unusual MGM-Label on it. I have both versions, the MGM and the Polydor-Label-variant. There is also two BIA LP-Versions, one on Trutone-Label, and one on orange Polydor-Label. Alchemy Zimbabwe has also two versions, with Fold-out-cover and with a wide-spine-cover, with Polydor and Vertigo-Labels. Funny to see that. On The Night as Zimbabwe-issue has the newer ZMC-Label (Zimbabwe Music Corporation).
Also thrilling are the various Taiwan-issues of Dire Straits vinyls. There are many different local-labels, and the Vertigo-Label, too.
Yes, the earlier DS records are now more demanded in the used-vinyl-sector, as around 10-15 years ago. Also on the German second-hand-stores or on the fleemarkets, various people are searching for the older and regular Dire Straits stuff. The old first-issues on German Vertigo, on UK-Vertigo offer a great soundquality, but you should need a pristine copy. Maybe some younger fans, or hi-fi-enthusiasts are now focussed on that vintage first-pressings of DS records.

I played my copy for the first time today and it was absolutely fine. With that being said, it is not as much of an improvement over the conventionally remastered edition included with the Studio Albums box set as I had expected, especially given how impressed I have been with other half-speed mastered albums in my collection.

MKNews:

This limited edition reissue for Record Store Day will feature an embossed lithograph, plus an insert with a brand new essay about the album including a new interview with Mark Knopfler, and a certificate of authenticity from Abbey Road Studios.

What about the interview?

See my post below

It's Paul Sexton's word. I was thinking about the interview.

It's Paul Sexton's word. I was thinking about the interview.

If you read the text, there are quotations by Mark Knopfler and John Illsley all along the text, so that's the interview, unless any of the people who bought it says there is more than that.

[Robson]

Yes, I understand. I was counting on a traditional interview.

[wakeywakey]

A very disappointing effort.
The remaster is not as good as the Mobile Fidelity remaster while the "interview" adds nothing new.
This pretty much sums up the approach to DS releases this millennium.
Perhaps we will have to wait until our good man departs before anything worthwhile is delivered.Although it wouldn't be a surprise if he forbids any further DS releases in his will!
