Title: It's out - officially
Post by: mschaap on August 30, 2012, 03:16:27 PM
No leak needed anymore.... I just bought the album officially at my local record shop here in the Netherlands.
Of course the album is fantastic, i already knew by the snippets.
Just noticed a surprising thing in the booklet: "All songs written by Mark Knopfler Except Miss You Blues, lyrics Mark Knopfler, melody 'Deep Blue See': trad arr Knopfler" That's a first one I believe...

Yes! Blues is all about covers.. Playing something different.. Then another person makes something different from what you record..

Sorry to ask, but where are you from? I'm from Brazil, also bought the super deluxe from Amazon Italy because of the price, but here down under I'll have to wait at least six weeks.

Hey thanks for sharing this, I just reordered the deluxe with Amazon.de, a few days ago they said the release date would be 3rd of Sept, so I had canceled and ordered somewhere else. Fingers crossed for the album to come to me as early as possible.

But how about Chris Rea?
In my opinion it's almost impossible to be a Knopfler fan and not a Chris Rea fan. Do you for example have the albums "The Road To Hell" and "Auberge" from Rea? Or his wonderful 11CD Box Blue Guitars.

Absolute wonderful time GennT at the concert. When it comes to slide guitar Knopfler ain't a match. My three favorite slide guitar players are Derek Trucks, Chris Rea and Sonny Landreth.

Here is Derek Trucks at the age of 13 playing Eric Clapton's Layla (insane):

Listening for the first time in detail now. After listening to the short clips I had the feeling that I would love this album more than MK's most recent albums (like KTGC or GL).  And with listening to the full album my opinion remains the same. Good album, esspecially some of the blues-based stuff.  But there are also some weak songs on it. And with some tunes I think 'where did I hear this one before?'.  Bluebird remains me thinking of Rope Stretching from the NHB-gigs.
But when I compare this album with STP, then it's just a collection of nice songs. Nothing more or less. It lacks the energy and diversity of STP. STP will remain my favourite, followed by GH. Privateering comes 3rd.

Regards,
Lars B.

The 11 CD set is a pretty amazing undertaking considering the scope of it, but it ends up sounding like 150 versions of Road To Hell. I'm kidding of course, but even though Chris Rea is covering all kinds of blues styles, he doesn't have a broad enough musical palette to make it varied or interesting enough to last 11 CDs.

Hhhmmm this is a test. I just wrote a message, but it isn't here! Let's see what is happening now! LOL

I can read now! Perhaps I was too excited about the news, that I forgot to push the right button! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/Roflbig.gif)

Well here I go again! It is wonderful to hear that some people already are able to listen to the new album. I didn't have time today and just logged in at 9.50 pm and when I read about the news I know I have to wait till tomorrow, because the shops are closed.

I hope the owner of the music shop will call me tomorrow (as he always does when I order) and if he doesn't, then I sure will take my bicycle and ride to the shop to buy the album! I need to listen now and don't want to wait any longer! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/Grinning.gif)

Talking here about Phil Collins is out of the question! (Just kiddin') Well, Collins isn't really my cup of tea in general musically. Though I like some of his songs and some of the Genesis stuff.

Ry Cooder is a great slide player too. Everyone should imho have seen this:

I'm thinking that the best of this record is the opportunity to have a 2013 tour..... :-[

And it's clear that MK is a great songwriter.... but this record have too many songs "standard style", not "MK style".... that is always the higher.....

I'm a little disappointed.... too many songs .... and not top quality songs.... IMHO

'Look at anyone who's been in it all their life... if they've got their health, if they've been lucky enough, then that's when you begin to hear something really good. Sure, you can always hear when someone's singing, "I'm happening, I'm young, I'm strong, I've got the thing", but [when people are older] you can also hear this weird transcendence. In one note.'  - Ry Cooder

Just returned from having a look at the record store... Standard version looks cheap... no liner notes at all... only the usual credits to band and staff, lyrics, some guitar picture impressions, no Mark or band foto.... hmmm. Don't know but I had exptected some information about the recordings...

Have been in two stores - are CDs no longer shrinkwrapped? They all are lying there, open, with CDs inside, but a lot of copies I must say...
No Deluxe or Super Deluxe editions though... Have to wait until Monday to check if there are maybe more info/liner notes or content in the Deluxe Edition...  ::)

My superb box arrived perfectly in time, my neighbors accepted it and it was in front of my apartment to be taken in..
Am disappointed with the booklet, I mean, this is a friggin super deluxe box, is it really too much to ask to make something nice? Viny, stupid numbered artwork (1767) credit card with down.oad link (credit card my ass, some cheap cardboard card!) and a bonus cd missing the other bonusses....a DVD we already all own...
At least the music is GREAT

Thank you for posting the pictures Dutchessy!

I still don't have the CD's!  :'( ....After I read the news that some fans already had theirs on Thursday, I immediately went Friday to the Music Store and asked if mine has arrived! The owner told he had been calling that morning and he was told that the CD's were not ready for delivery! It seems there were too little CD's sent to the place where he always orders. Well it seems (just like many other fans) that I have to wait! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/w00t.gif)

Lars & Fieneke about which version are we talking? My brother has I believe still about 4 or 5 in store, of the 2CD.

If necessary i can ask him to hold them back. If you don't succeed I could let him ship them too you. The CD sells for 14,95 if I am not mistaken.

The blues would be great if the harmonica was gone and the plinky-plonky piano playing.. It is just an overkill. I like Gator Blood, Today is Okay and Got to have something but don't forget your hat e.g is just not as good as Occupation Blues. I really don't understand why those bonus songs are not on the album, I love them.
