Some nice guitars but my prediction is that the first two won’t sell at those prices!

SE03477 has been for sale for a while and no wonder as the seller isn't shifting on the £4,000.00p price tag.

The last one is a more realistic price - £3,200

Dusty, you and the other mods are doing a great job.
Without your work, this whole forum wouldn't be possible, so thank you very much for all that!

Personally, I don't mind paying a few pounds for a quality magazine, if it is still available.
With the Radio Times, that doesn't seem to be the case, though, as they don't sell individual back issues, like GuitarPlayer or other quality mags.

Thanks. We don’t do this for thanks but it’s appreciated anyway. We do it because we are fans the same as everyone else, and we are also human, and as such we (and really, I) make mistakes and inconsistencies the same as every other human. But hopefully people can understand that when this happens we (again, I) are doing our best, flaws and all.

I took wakeywakey’s comments above the wrong way, I have apologised via PM and I do so again here publicly.

Now, let’s get back to MK.

One Deep River / The Boy / Re: The Boy EP (01) Mr Solomans Said

« Last post by Rail King on May 03, 2024, 10:59:48 PM »

I like the echoes of the fair at the beginning very much. Great song.

I like the song a lot (and the whole EP), but I wouldn’t miss the sound footage. I prefer if musicians (playing instruments) evoke an atmosphere (like Greg Leisz often does on the album) – it’s more interesting and less obvious.

One Deep River / The Boy / Re: The Boy EP (04) Bad Day For A Knife thrower

« Last post by Rail King on May 03, 2024, 10:48:00 PM »

Quite surprised at the complete absence of comment on this one - maybe because it comes straight after All Comers, which we all seem to agree is an MK classic. But it’s an atmospheric bluesy number with plenty of the great man’s guitar - probably more of it than anything else of the new stuff.

I didn’t comment because I‘ve only just listened to it for the first time. Was waiting for a rainy day. Might be my favourite song off the EP, though.

One Deep River / The Boy / One Deep River - LP & CD set with signed 12" Lithograph

« Last post by Knopflerfan on May 03, 2024, 09:37:49 PM »

I've just managed to get hold of one of these having missed out when they were first released from the official store. Did anyone else get one?
The art card has a lovely gold pen signature...

I always come back to this masterpiece of a song.  Once I start listening I can hardly stop.  This is the MK sound I love so much.  It doesn't get any better.

The sound of the MK Sig Strat - quite beautiful!

And song is so great that nobody seems to be disturbed by the fact that the main lead parts are played by folkies and not by MK's lead.

He is still playing along with the folkies and does have a solo of his own.

I feel this song could easily have come straight from the Get Lucky era.

And a nice typical MK solo too with the trademark reasonably fast few notes in places!

I wonder when they will publish the whole movie.

Again we saw all three videos as one at the album launch in London. There were great snippets of the band talking and laughing together in between songs.
