in the beginning, where it moves to the "official" part, it sounds taped onto it, but the end is real....what is this??

I have never come across this vinyl, and my bet is that there isn't one, and it is unofficial like this one:

Some talented dj with time in his hands just found the original tracks before  mix, or even maybe created some of his own and we have these results!

He, he 1:50 of "woo-hoo's" before the lyrics actually begin!  Obviously just an edit though;  you can tell by the bit where Mark makes the "mmm, mmm, mmm" sound at around 0:56.  He does that in the album version right at the end of the lyrics before the play-out so it's obviously been edited.

but doesn't the end sound different?

Thank you Rudiger! I have at least 3-4  12'' vinyl records containing MFN trance and dance remixes. Really nothing interesting,  just collecting purposes.

Most likely made from the separate Guitar Hero or Rock Band game tracks...

Yes.  They seem to have been able to separate the instruments then slow the speed down I think.  Can Cubase do this?  I have Wavelab Lite (the cheapo version  ;D) and that can slow down the music while maintaining the correct pitch but as far as I know it doesn't separate the instruments.

Talking about remixes:
P.T. Grimm
Faggot (Remix for MSI. 2000)

includes sample from Money for Nothing

The lyrics can be offensive/ objectionable to some people
http://www.whosampled.com/sample/233850/P.T.-Grimm-Faggot-(Remix-for-MSI.-2000)-Dire-Straits-Money-for-Nothing/

would this be banned in Canada?  :think

And how smooth it can be done also:
Danni Carlos
Money for Nothing

I found a new one (actually from 1999). It is not a DS song, but a song that is titled Dire straits, and has clear references to songs and records of DS. Nice lyrics and interesting sound. The whole CD.

That was interesting! Maybe not the kind of band that you typically think would pay respects to DS, and I like that  :)

Very nice point Masiakasaurus! I like their CD very much and I am grateful they did that so I got to know them! Here is another one, this time it is a cover from Royal Trux.

Most alternative, indie bands used to hate the older bands, Dinosaurs they called them (fossils) but some admitted to be influenced and play the songs. The Killers did an OK version of Romeo and Juliet 3-4 years ago.

Well, this is an remix then, but there is an alternate /shortly extended version of Darling Pretty on a certain release of ''Private Investigations the best of Mark Knopfler''. The music is the same, only a different singing take and it is extended for a few seconds, sounds great in my opinion

Exactly! It's a weird way of looking at music in my opinion. Just because something is old doesn't mean it doesn't hold a place in todays music scene :)

I haven't heard Royal Trux before, but that was a rather cool version.

The killers version isn't exactly my favorite, but I'm very glad they recorded it so that more young people are exposed to DS!

Yup! Like that version (complete GH record should have been remixed). STP too... Not really exciting, but it's just 30 seconds more fun. :)
