The Honky Tonk Demos officially released?

[Ingo]

The two guitars on DTTW are separated to the left and right channel just like on the album.

Three guitars! There is a third electric guitar in the center, played by Mark, during the middle solo and the last verse!

So, as there are no cd or digital options for it, the fans that doesn't have a lp player won't be able to listen to it even you bought it

Right, this whole vinyl-only and  one-bonus-song-here-the-other-there stuff makes me frustrated more and more

Just a thought. Maybe those people who don't have record players shouldn't have bought the vinyl so that those people who do have record players could have bought the release and sent you the songs. 

Don't fear , I am sure this will turn up on digital soon enough. The record company have made the investment in brining this to market, may be July time but I feel sure it will materialise. Sly and the Family Stone vinyl only concert release from Epic UMG turns up as a 4cd box set in July. Maybe we will get the full set.   Or more. Wishful thinking

 Let's just hope for a digital release

Oh yeah, maybe, one day people will realise that piracy is when you copy (i.e. advertise) something rather than steal it, like a thief.

Just listened ‘My Brother Sings’ LP by Chet Atkins, this thing was sold for $8,100 one day because it's so rare, but it was reissued on LP.

And it was uploaded same day on the internet. By the way, highly recommended LP: http://www.sundazed.com/shop/rsd2015_r4.php

I found this picture in facebook, apparently it's a scan of the real tape published by Charlie Gillett in his site many years ago http://www.charliegillett.com

I was searching looking for the post or wherever it was originally published but I didn´t find it, anyway, here it is:

Type "record store day 2015" into search for the stock left. They have Honky Tonk & Chet Atkins still listed....
Great Sydney store. No stupid eBay prices, just our normal over prices Australian rates

Thanks Fletch! Will give it a try in case everything else fails!

Well, it's obvious which track was left out. Pity really, since it's still an early Dire Straits recording.

When they were broke, they spent their only money in recording that demos. MK agreed in spent some of that money recording "Sacred Loving", if it was that bad, surely MK would had said no way we are wasting our only money recording it.

Sacred Loving is part of that demos, historically. But MK decided to delete it from history, as if David never had any chance in the band, when the truth is that he had, at least at that very beginning.

Is it just me, or is Sultans of Swing the only track of the 4 that are great quality?  I feel like there is a fuzziness in the vocals in particular on the other 3 tracks and maybe the mix is not as good as SOS.
