Now you can listen to it as well

Not too much guitar on it, but very Knopfleresque :)

Whilst listening, I was reading the Lee Fardon chapter from Myles Palmer's biography "Mark Knopfler" and it was interesting to read that they were mainly referred to as the Straits by members of that band! ;) In the light of all that has happened recently, it gave me a little jolt! ;D

San Miguel is probably the last choice for beers for almost everybody :)

Post by: vgonis on June 18, 2011, 08:18:05 PM: Thank you so much for the chance to listen to this version of the song. I have been looking for it for quite some time. I had even sent money in an envelope to Lee Fardon's address mentioned at his web - page, but unfortunately i got it back a couple of months later, with a "left with no new address".
I already have the record "God given right" with the track, but with no MK guitar and production. Instead we have a bouncy piano, but it is a fine song, anyway. I only knew that he was producing, but the guitar is really very MK like! Of course the same goes for a couple of songs at the "Knife" album by Aztec Camera, but it must be a very good imitator, since at the credits I couldn't find MK contributing any guitar, just producing.

By the way i am also looking for another collaboration of MK with Sandy McLelland. Anybody out there?

Well the last is Cruzcampo for me.
Estrella is indeed one of the best

Post by: vgonis on September 16, 2014, 07:01:49 AM: Thank you Maroretto, but I just can't seem to find the Lost and found CD. And some years ago I sent money to the address and the envelope was undelivered! Any info would be greatly appreciated, since of all MKs major collaborations this is the only one I miss!
