Post was: Salvador Design designing Get Lucky Limited Edition
Just got this post from salvadordesign on Twitter
Putting together personalised casino dice and chips for forthcoming Mark Knopfler album 'Get Lucky' Ltd Edition version. Should be gr8 piece
Casino Dice and Chips including in the limited edition if I read the Twitter message right?
I did asked for photo's but no answer back, I really don't think I will ever get it but at least I tried.

Thanks, Jeroen! That sounds very interesting and once again, references to gaming, etc. like the cover of Shangri-La! :) I hope I will "get lucky" enough to have limited edition! ;)
-
update from salvadore: Hi Jeroen, thanks for interest. Afraid I can't send anything out until Mark and Record Label give permission. will update.
So I hope to get to see some photo's soon, and off course will post it then here!
This means also that there is no cover yet but I think it must have got some Casino influence. This can mean that the song "Get Lucky" is about a gambler? Is that correctly spelled?
-
Thats interesting,I wonder if the design is just for the limited edition or will the theme run for the cd release as well. ::)
-
Sound GREAT.!
I too hope to get my hands on a Ltd edition copy.
I've just been checking out the companys website.
http://www.salvadordesign.co.uk/
Some fab designs already for other artists.
Cheers BBB

I can feel another tattoo coming on.!!!!!! :) ;) ;D 8)

-
lol BBB. but seriously, this to me is awesome news.
-
Can't wait, can't wait! ;D ;D
Great news Jeroen!
-
Casino chips and dice would go very nicely with the Shangri-la playing cards.
But what for the next album? A bingo card or lottery ticket (great promotional possibilities there).
-
Great news, thanks for sharing Jeroen :)
-
Is he doing just the limited edition?
And who is designing the normal edition?
Is going to be two different covers?
I think the information is a bit confusing, or it
-
There is no more information then that SalvadorDesign is doing the dice and chips for the ltd edition. I think that he will be doing the complete design because he also made the design for KTGC.
So the dice and chips will be extra's for the ltd edition.. That's my thought..
I hope to see some pictures soon but SalvadorDesing must first get permission from Mark and the management before he will show pictures.
Keep you updated.
-
for what I understand casino dice and chips will "accompany" the limited edition. but I guess that the cover will be the same

I wonder what he did for the KTGC cover, apart of the background colour and mix the photos with other backgroudn cloours, as KTGC cover is a painting by another person ???
I really can't imagine what kind of work he can do for the new record as the previous one wasn
-
It's not just the picture though is it, it's also the whole "concept" like fonts, background colours etc.
-
Yes, I guess is that too, but I expect a really full design for this record ;D

Update from Salvador : Hi Jeroen, I'll be designing all of Knopfler's pieces.. CD, DVD, Ltd Editions and Vinyl album. It's a big one!
It's gonna be a great september !!! DVD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the great infos ;)

DVD is probably the bonus DVD of the Electronic Press Kit, like we got with Shangri La and KTGC.

Could be, then again he wrote: CD, DVD, Ltd Editions and Vinyl album, so if the DVD is part of the limited edition, it doesn't need its own artwork, does it?
Then again (again) we know that there isn't a film of the last tour, so what else could this DVD be?
-
My mouth is watering in anticipation :P :P :P :P
I wonder how soon the artwork will be known to the public?
Cheers BBB

Yeah, but he will also have to design the artwork on the face of the disc itself, so I would be willing to bet that this is what we will get.

True

In a few weeks he hopes to show something. So just a couple off weeks and then we maybe know the artwork.
I think that the DVD will be a 5.1 surround from the album with the press kit and that could be the Ltd edtion.
But I'm glad this album is going to be available on vinyl, I miss the GH and the STP on vinyl. Anybody know if this is available?: pm me.
-
and he is allowed to show us ANYTHING at all?? pretty sure mk would not allow any of it...

This is great news! :D
-
Hi!
I also was very surprised to read about the DVD. I think it is maybe just an option - in case there might be a DVD he has to create the artwork.
I also like very much the sentence It
-
Nice to have you with us Love Expresso!
-
But I'm glad this album is going to be available on vinyl, I miss the GH and the STP on vinyl. Anybody know if this is available?: pm me.
Perhaps it will be double 180 g LP, mastered by Stan Ricker http://www.rickermaster.com/clients.htm As usual. GH & STP were never released on vinyl.
-
I bet that the dvd design will be just the press kit dvd, like with the KTGC one, the picture or whatever of the dvd has to be designed too
-
Hey Guys.....so this is where you have all dissapeared!!
Like others have said - i suspect the artwork would want to stay under wraps for a while yet....not sure of any legal 'issues' that could arise with this info being leaked so early on....
Anyway - its great to find somewhere to chat....
-
Schmonka and Love Expresso, I am so glad you have found us here on AMIT! :D
-
Hi Schmonka, good to hear from everyone again. Tell your friends!

Hi,
I had a look at the gallery on Salvadors homepage. All the CD covers look more 70

I love reading the tracklisting for the 1st time. :)
Your mind goes into overdrive, thinking what sort of song it may turn out to be.
Here's hoping that moment is very close. ;) ;D

BTW. Great to see some other familiar faces (Love Expresso & Schmonka) from the MK News site. :)
Can't believe it took you so long to find AMIT.!!!

Hello BBB, thanks!
In fact, it was a surprise when I was just googling for "get lucky" and "knopfliczek" and found this Get Lucky Unofficial page. And reading the news about
that twit from Salvador was really like a hammer! I then realized "Hey, there seems to be a forum, too, and when I saw it, I remembered the post
in MKNEWS about AMIT! Sometimes things need their time!
And I am totally astonished about the high numbers of posts on this forum. I was just about to read some of the older threads. Funny to relive
the last few months, knowing that all the last year or so the MK NEWS forum was somehow ... empty. And I thought it was because Guy

Great to see that people come to this forum through my website. I was thinking about giving up this website but I think I will continue this site untill Mark stops playing music.

Last update from Salvador Design: "Have just sent album artwork to Mark Knopfler and Co. for approval.. fingers crossed." :D

Great ,I am loving this forum! Thanks! ;D ;D

it is awesome for us to hear this geto. this was all we have hoped for, the forum like by fans, made by fans..
my sincere thanks.
-
I think we are the ones that should thank you and everyone that made possible for us to gather here and discuss about different things.Really Thank You. ;)
-
I might jump on the bandwagon this time and go for the ltd edition when released. I don`t own any of his solo stuff (apart from Local Hero), just a handful of singles from itunes! *shame on me*
I know you guys will hang me, but its the country rock i fell in love with and want more of! I did get the London DVD last week, its great to watch, but all that irish / celtic stuff kinda bores me - am i bad? lol!
-
get neck and neck then!! it rocks, or better, it cuntries.... seriously, it is good.

I was just browsing Amazon myself and spotted this. I think it's a fantastic cover, I love it!
-
Yeaaaaaah I love you people ;D You are all fantastic.
-
WOW!!! I'm loving that front cover!!! :D Thanks Iris!!
-
I love the cover too! It reminds me of another one, but I'm not saying which one! ;D
-
Cool stuff. Is it just me or is this the most "un-MK" cover we have seen so far from MK? Somehow this one really took me by surprise, wasn't expecting this look at all. Good to keep moving on though.
-
I like the cover too. Cool album title and a nice cover, excellent. They both seem designed to attract attention, at least more so than recent albums. Both the cover and title are full of energy.
-
......They both seem designed to attract attention......Both the cover and title are full of energy.
except for the black color used for the title :-\

Yes, I agree. The title is not perfectly visible.

Hi Val,

Now that the cat's out of the bag, my thought was that it was reminiscent of the Screenplaying cover. :)

Just found out my from google is not perfect, you have to put 138 before the N. At flickr.com you can find a lot of pictures from the fremont casino and at the right there is the sign with weekend brunch.
I did asked Salvador Desing for any big pictures : http://www.what-it-is.nl/site/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/getlucky1.jpg

Just come home from work early. Been checking every day for new info.

In the News section above there is still the Salvador-twitter-link. I have a look there now and then. When I found the chip, it was online 3 minutes. I got lucky!
There is also the same talk as on Guy

Twit from SalvadorDesign : will be working an all formats including fantastic Deluxe Box Set with goodies inside.
I like goodies, as far as we know now this will be a casino chip and casino dice. Maybe there is more?
I hope to have a "box" set like the one from U2 with a big book and a DVD with the making of [maybe even a Live cd?]:
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41i32CrUH8L.jpg)

I WANT THE DELUXE GOODIES.!!!!!!!!!
Last year i bought the Dave Gilmour Live Box set. This had a poster, guitar pic, postcards etc.......
Here's hoping for something similar. I LOVE BOX SETS. ;D
Cheers BBB
-
yeah BBB, the pic, awesome...and a top dvd on top of all that...
-
Yeah, phantastic news. Did MK ever release a box set? I can
-
I like goodies too!
Like love expresso though, I'd prefer a good album without goodies but it's MK we're talking about, of course the album is the best he's ever made!!
-
Goodies?
I wonder what this goodies are... No, I
-
Goodiesb are nice, but if it turns out just to be an album, I'll be happy :) Goodies will be a bonus.
-
Yeah, I don't need any knick knacks either, but a live CD would be great.
-
How about some leftovers from the recording sessions? Or even old leftovers? That wouldn't hurt 8)
I hope there'll be something extra, though. And perhaps a little more interesting press kit than the KTCG one. Those always seem extremely politically correct and, well, a bit bland.
-
Yeah, I don't need any knick knacks either, but a live CD would be great.
Same for me ;D
Even better a 3 Cd edition :
"Get lucky" - the new studio album,
"Get luckier" - Live recordings from 2008 part 1
"Jackpot" - Live recordings from 2008 part 2
-
Hahaha and as a bonus: recording from the promotour 2009 delivered around Christmas ;D

Yes. Both for OES and OTN were released Promo boxes, which contained various items (not all together in the same box!): promo CDs, VHS, tape, Tourbook, stamps, pins, agenda, watch, etc. These boxes have been distribuited to Press and other media. Some examples (but there are boxes more complete):

I think this will be the first time that this kind of Box will be commercially available.

These are the one I have. Not the OES and the OTN boxes. I am still looking for the OTN though.Anyone? eil.com doesn't have it.

Ok, to more confusion....at http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/SESSIONID/e29d1cca964c632addca29e0052d4efc/poprock/detail/-/art/Mark-Knopfler-Get-Lucky-Deluxe-Editi/hnum/1629797 a Deluxe Edition is listed as a UK Import for 135 Euros! (oder number 1629797)?!

this offer is now at least nearly identical the amazon prices in US and Japan (=124 Euros) for the deluxe edition!

On Guy's forum today, in reply to a question by Julio about the contents of the bonus CD, his answer was "still in discussion". Does this mean that it has not been decided on yet? :o

About the prices, Guy answered me in his forum that for that price we should obtain someting more substantial, and I agree 100% with him, I don

The one fact that lowers my expectations is the fact that it is only one bonus cd. If there were two, I knew it could be a complete live show, but one CD

We already have professional recordings from the showcases, Berlin, Basel, London and very good bootlegs of the rest, also an SBD of Boothbay, so that would not be very exciting and definitely not worth the high price!
I had hoped for a complete live recording of one of the KTGC concerts, but I expect it will be similar to the live recording (incomplete) of the RAH Golden Heart concert, which came with "Sultans of Swing - The Very Best of Dire Straits". :-\ BTW The price is still on my copy and it cost

Even the bonus cd contains the real highlights of the 2008 tour with Hill farmer blues and Marbletown, I

I have a question. Do you think MK News will offer a better price for the boxed set than Amazon? I still can't believe the crazy price. I am very reluctant to part with $175 for 2 cds & a dvd. :'(
-
Something seems very wrong, here, indeed. 2 vinyls, 1 cd, 1 promo dvd, 1 bonus cd--$75 at the most. Mass printed little pieces of paper? $0.
-
I think it's morally wrong to offer something with an astronomic price like that, no matter what it contains (and judging by GF's last comments even he doesn't know yet!). I could spend the money but I need it for more important things! What's the purpose of those outrageous prices? The Gilmour in Gdansk 5 DVD/CD set was about 60 EUR IIRC which was okay for that content. Perhaps the MK people should take this as a guideline. Because you know what could happen if that 200 EUR deluxe thingie will contain something super special some people refuse to buy, like a rare live recording or something? Right, they will download it on the internet which is exactly what MK is trying to prevent... For the love of God, I wish MK's marketing people or whatever they're called would learn to organise things properly.

I would be very careful about using amazon.com or "the guy that designed the artwork" as a source for information about a new release. If you look on markknopfler.com, the official website, there is 0 information about a box set. I'm not saying it isn't happening, but as for contents or distribution, I wouldn't believe it until it comes from an official source.

Well, Guy said this on his forum: "Update...The Special Edition will contain TWO Vinyl albums, Poker Chips, Craps Dice, Guitar Tab, Classic Gig Ticket, CD/DVD, Bonus CD.....apparently".
So, apparently ;D, there is a box set... But I do think that there's a bit strange that they still are discussing the contains in this box when the price is already set to "astronomic"...
-
Yes correct, Guy confirmed. But it sounds strange: TWO vinyl albumS ??? As usual each latest Mark's vinyl release (Shangri-La, All the roadrunning, Kill to Get Crimson, Brothers in Arms re-master 2006) is 2LPs (double disc) 180g vinyl ALBUM. So TWO vinyl albumS and 2LPs vinyl album is not the same

Actually vynil records are edited in high resolution sound so they have to use two vynils, every MK record released in that format had two vynils, so I bet this tiem it will be exactly the same, the same record we

I'm sceptical too... BUT! Let's just wait until we know the contents of the box AND the actual price. No point speculating, we need the facts.

....we need the facts.
You're right!
We have, at the moment, from Guy some "maybe... somethings like that.. possibly 2 cd...mperhaps..."
From other official sources, nothing (only from SD "Big Mouth").
Prices... a LOT! See below:

Ciao.
Sorry for bad english

they are money for nothing to me ;D
and chips for free
(poker chips that is) ;D
-
I agree with Dusty..."No point speculating"...
True, but at that box prices they started speculation first :)
Cheers
-
No point in speculating, true, but a lot of fun in speculating. I think we have a new record (as in world record, not disc), ladies and gentlemen, on CDON, scandinavian site, the deluxe box is at....... 3049 Swedish Crowns, which, at today's rate is about 280 euros or 240 pounds! :D.
and still no indication for what you're getting for this small fortune! ;D

All this says to me is how ridiculous this system of "pre-ordering" is. Why would you order an album 3 months before it's rfeleased anyway? Especially when you don't even kow what you're getting.
-
Nevertheless, I have an update for amazon.de in Germany: the box-set ist now priced 134,95
-
Guy says he'll be able to give us info "soon".
It's almost August. The album is out in September. Surely we'll get a first play of the single on Terry Wogan or something soon?
-
I hope the official site could offer us the first taste of each song soon.

I'm afraid that it will be UK print only. So Deluxe Box set will be import for all counties. It is extra charge. It would be too bad.

Guy has said today on his forum that the Bonus DVD will contain some short films, such as his interview with Glenn Saggers. I wonder did he mean the DVD accompanying the CD? :-\

wow! But I'm not willing to pay 70 euro extra for this film ;D
By the way, GL appeared (as presale) on ebay: this is the description of the DVD from the Digipack Edition CD/DVD:
-
In that case I think Guy probably meant the Bonus DVD accompanying the CD in the digipack, not the Bonus CD. I expect that the Video Tour of British Grove will include his interview with Glenn Saggers. :)
-
yes, I think too that Guy's words were referred to this DVD. But still no news about the bonus CD :( Will it exist?
-
the box-set ist now priced 134,95
-
news from guy:
I'm actually editing right now. I have finished the Mr. Saggers interview. This and other 'short films' will be available on the bonus DVD, details of which I'm not yet familiar with. There will also be additional 'shorts' appearing on this site soon.
-
and about the guitars:
No banjo but Mark plays mandolin on the album (The Car Was The One)

Hello to you all! This is my first post on the forum, just want to share the following...
Today Universal (the record company) announced on their Dutch website the deluxe boxed set of Get Lucky will contain two CDs, two(!) DVDs, two vinyl and merchandise stuff.
http://www.universalmusic.nl/p-detail.php?pid=0602527086743
-
Welcom to the best MK forum in the world mschaap!
This is the news I have been waiting for... surely it means we will be getting a full KTGC tour recording?!!!
-
Welcome mschapp, and thank you for that news! If the set contains 2 CDs and 2 DVDs, then the price is a bit more realistic. The 2nd DVD has got to be a KTGC concert, right? ??? ???
-
The 2nd DVD has got to be a KTGC concert, right? ??? ???
No chance of that, they didn't record any. :(
-
Welcome to this forum mschaap. This deluxe Box Set is becoming more mysterious by the day and I hope that soon we will find out definitely what it contains. I'm not going to order until I know the facts! :)
-
The Dutch Universal site also reports the DVD of the CD/DVD-version of Get Lucky contains 1 acoustic track, documentary and addtional videos.
http://www.universalmusic.nl/p-detail.php?pid=0602527086712
I hope the second DVD of the deluxe box isn't a mistake/typo and we're actually getting lucky with two DVDs. The never released Madrid 2001 DVD would be great for instance...
Thanks for the warm welcome at this forum!
-
or more of the crowfly shows??? ins lossless format??
-
I am also interested in the description of the dutch site about the acoustic track: They call it an "extra track". So is it a new song? Or an acoustic version of one of the album tracks, f.e. Remembrance Day? Hmmm.
Also two DVD
-
The 2nd DVD has got to be a KTGC concert, right? ??? ???

So much for that brilliant theory :-[
-
I have tried to make contact today with Universal Music but the person I have mailed is out of the office until Monday August 10th.
So I hope to know more at the 10th of August. But then again maybe markknopfler.com has got the information allready but just don't want to inform us.

No it will be Madrid 2001 ;D
Ok ok I go out

Hello Chaps and Chapesses...
Just spotted this on the MK News Site.....Confirmation if Confirmation were needed....
Formats:
The album will be released in three formats:
1. Standard jewel case CD
2. Limited edition CD / DVD digipack which includes a tour around the British Grove Studio conducted by Mark and Chuck Ainlay
3. Deluxe edition in presentation box, to include:
Limited edition CD / DVD digipack
CD of 3 bonus tracks (new songs)
DVD with behind the scenes tour footage
3 x engraved poker chips
Guitar tab for Get Lucky
Vinyl version of Get Lucky (double LP)
2 x branded craps dice
facsimile gig ticket
For me - i like the Limited Edition/DVD tour of the studio option.......and the 3 new songs obviously......BUT
Poker chips - no thanks
Guitar Tab - no thanks
Vinyl - No thanks
Craps Dice - No thanks
Bogus Gig ticket - No thanks!
i honestly cant justify the VAST increase as opposed to the CD/DVD option - maybe thats just me and im a mean git - but sorry - i just cant! >:(
-
I think this is even worse than first thought! I expect I will buy the digipack because the deluxe version is definitely not worth
-
Yeah, same here! I think the "behind the scenes tour footage" will exactly be what Guy offers on his homepage, so nothing new probably... OK, three
new songs ARE an argument, but they will be released later in another way, I am sure, as b-sides one by one, or whatever... So I am pretty sure the
Deluxe box is nothing for me! A Live DVD, and I would have bought it for sure...
Strange enough! Who ever thought one year ago that there would be released a Deluxe Box and I am not in for it? It is not very convincing, the whole
project...
LovExpresso
-
So does this mean that in the deluxe version there will be two DVDs of tours around the studio - one in the digipack and another? ???
-
Good news for me, so no exclusive live stuff on the deluxe so I can pass it by in peace.
Ten years earlier or so the 3 bonus studio track would have made it for a couple of nice EP CD (remember "Darling Pretty" and "Cannibals" ones?).
-
Yes, my dilemma is over - I will order the digipack! ;)
I agree the three extra songs would have made a lovely EP! I don't see how such an expensive deluxe box set is going to sell! :-\
-
Superval,
No, I think the digipak editon with the British Grove-Tour will be included in the box, and that will be the "usual" release we had since RPD: CD and Bonus DVD, and where was said earlier to be, apart from the Mark-And-Chuck-Tour, an acoustic song on it.
Also the Deluxe Box includes another bonus CD with three new songs and another DVD with " Behind the Scenes Tour footage" - and that probably will be
the same stuff that Guy has on his page? I asked him a minute ago, let
-
I was just about to order the digipack from Amazon and found that the digipack price is now
-
Aye, for an extra
-
Mmmm... bonus CD with 3 NEW songs... It is only one reason for me to order deluxe box.
DEAR
FANS
GET
LOSSES.
-
A bonus Cd with 3 songs?
Must be very long songs then. an average of 26.6 minutes per song.
I have to think very very long if I will buy the deluxe edition.
-
VERY DISSAPOINTING! I sincerely think this deluxe box is a farce and a rip-off of fans!
- A bonus CD for only three songs... That's not a CD, just a CD single.
- Two DVDs with material that will probably not consume half the capacity of one DVD when combined.
- Rest of the stuff are useless anyway
MK management and the record company would only need half an hour to scan the internet (MK news forum, guy's site and of course AMITF) to know how they could produce something of value in the eyes of the fans. Just put out a live CD or DVD and everbody would be happy... Just as simple as that. What's the point in releasing 'behind the scenes tour footage' when you don't get the on/before the scenes part...
A lot of people here would buy almost every official MK release even when isn't that value adding or interesting, but so far I've only read MK's biggest fans not intending to buy this one. MK management and the record company should ask theirselves what it is they're doing.. a VERY BAD job.
-
Yes, Dusty. I have the same feeling. It seems like "How can we get the most money from them with the smallest possible input"... This whole merchandice stuff isn
-
I thought it was politicians who were the ones that dont listen to the will of the people. I stand corrected as it appears it is Mk and his people. Why wont they give the fans the official live material we would love to hear? Rant over off to buy the digipack.
-
VERY DISSAPOINTING!
....Just put out a live CD or DVD and everbody would be happy... Just as simple as that. What's the point in releasing 'behind the scenes tour footage' when you don't get the on/before the scenes part...
You're right man! AS SIMPLE AS THAT!
I love MK, for me MK is number one, for me Mark is the only one...but traw away in the W.C. the KTGCT tour it's for me a poor job. No respect for us. I decide one year before to buy the tickets and fly in London ... one year before the show...only for "love", for his music because he is the Master of the other guitar heroes.
Where are the live registrations? In the toilets!
What a shit!
Sorry for Bad English!
-
I wonder if MK really knows what is going on with his new album. I mean does he know what the producers are going to do with it in terms of marketing and costs etc? Or maybe he is blissfully unaware of the ploys that are being used to get more money out of his fans.
I am sure that he has little or no input once he has finished recording and the songs have been engineered. It is then up to the marketers and distributors etc.
-
I think they may have a lot of deluxe packages left on their hands and they can only blame themselves for not listening to the fans- AGAIN!! ::)
-
I think it is time for the "Official" website to put some songs from the fortcoming album on their site.
We are all discussing this deluxe package and the suddenly it was at the "official" site. There were a lot off sites that had the information online for a long time before today.
Maybe if we are now continue discussing the songs that we can hear them soon?

I'd be surprised if this was the case. I don't think MK get's particularly cares about big sales and gets into the marketing aspect in a huge way, but I do think he will be aware of how the album is being released.
I remember an interview in Vox magazine in 1992 where Ed Bicknell revealed that MK agreed to Phillips sponsoring the OES tour for the sum of

Indeed they will be left with a lot of deluxe boxes on their hands. And I can predict what the result of this will be..... In the future they won't release any MK deluxe boxes or whatsoever because it's not commercially interesting and the fans aren't into buying it. Weird huh (being sarcastic)
-
yep, they can shove their deluxe edition where the sun don't shine, as far as I am concerned too. Although I love Guy's behind the scenes vids, even with 3 news songs, they do not justify the money they are asking for the box.
Dilemna solved for me too! That's great! Thanks! I am off to buy some nice wine with the money I am saving! Cheers!

WORD! There's nothing to add to that... Personally - and I'm sure I'd get kicked in the butt for saying this over at the other forum - I think the whole Mark Knopfler Public Relations machine has gone downhill ever since PC is his manager!
There are
- weird choices of promo appearances (at least here in Germany) - I mean, I know MK is not the kind of guy who seeks attention but some well choosen promo appearances do no harm, do they!? The little Berlin concert was nice but that's all. All we got before were interviews in news channels or third programmes, come on!
- no releases of live material! Why? This is a BIG mistake! I can't believe MK is too stubborn to change his opinion about that. It's a bad decision. Look at David Gilmour - he doesn't care about how popular he is, either but we got two awesome live DVD's!
- no proper information about releases, presales etc. and no organisation
Why is that? And who is responsible for that? PC? Some PR guy/girl?This way of working is just amateurish.
-
Goldenheart - At least you did get a televised promo appearance and interviews, also you were able to attend the show. Here in UK all we had was a late-night radio programme with room for about 25 people! It was nice enough, but that's all! ::)
-
GF Said: It is indeed a shame that so little of the material that I would consider bona-fide is released but as we all know, it's Mark's decision 100% and if he decides not to release stuff, so be it. Unlike just about every other artist, Mark is so NOT commercially motivated and you have to take your hat off to someone who can do this these days.
I won't take my hat off for this... Nothing for the fans...
-
I have my own theory about MK
-
I hope Mark is not reading all of this, maybe he will decide than to quiet because we don't like his decisions.
On the other if he is reading this, what should we tell him? We want all the DVD's we are waiting for a long time : Alchemy, Madrid 2001, and OTN in 5.1 sound?
-
3 songs for a bonus cd? that should be called bonus single, seriously....
will still probably cash out, it's a drug,..need to have it...
-
Hi all,
no sb-recording has emerged from the last tour and given that Guy was extremely upset about the guy who stole the signal from the in-ear mix (I understand his reaction but there were some IEM recordings in the past and I think everybody was quite easy about it) plus considering each concert was recorded during the last tour makes me think that a proper live recording was definitively planned.
Certainly a project like that is a risk but hey: the record company just has to put a big sticker on the album e.g. "The Voice And Guitar Of Dire Straits" ::) I don't understand why the record company didn't go the usual - the easy - way. Instead of releasing stuff that is already there - a "deluxe set" that noone really needs is a much higher chance to take. ??? I mean, come on, who needs merchandising stuff like poker chips and dice?
Hope I'll be wrong but I think the "deluxe set" will be a real dud and the company will moan about bad sales figures. Sad. :'(
-
Oh well, I'm just a customer. Nobody makes me to buy the high-octane-box-or-whatever. There are much more important things, so I won't waste my hard-earned money for that. Music industry is completely out of touch with reality...and maybe MK too. But I do wonder what sales figures they do expect and what the break-even might be. Perhaps they don't care and leap at the chance to find just another reason to grumble about plummeting sales-but the record companies aren't guilty - of course not! Where's the next bailout? ;D
-
Its improtant to distinguish between two things!!!!
1) Is this what fans really want????
2) Is this product worth 85.09 pounds.....or put a different way is MK/record company trying to fleece the fans????
The answer to 1 is that this product aint what some people truly want but in my opinion this box set sounds very exciting.......a tab book for the guitairsts (awesome......be able to try out the new songs straight away instead of badgering Guy about tab book this tab book that), 3 bonus songs (remember we are taking about the worlds greatest songwriter not some 2nd rate musician (Eric Clapton :P).....this should stop people moaning about not hearing left overs etc), the vinyl versions are always sort after and i personally would love a vinyl of the new album, a cool ass ticket froma concert would make a nice display in a room somewhere, loads of ebhind the scene footage which to me is much more interesting than a live KTGC soundbaord cos i have heard those songs and versions to death now, OBVIOUSLY the actual album and digipack.....COME ON PEOPLE THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2)
Vinlys - call it 12 pounds
Tab Book - 15 pounds
CD + digipack - 15 pounds
sought after ticket - 5 pounds
bonus mini album/single 8 pounds
other crap - who cares!!!!!!
so tha comes to about 55 quid for the actual contents of the box and then that leaves a 30 quid deficit of which some would be used to make the other crap and present it nicely!!!!!
So i guess the product is overpriced but to me it represents something different and interesting and ill defo be buying it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The idea of MK fleecing is fans is laughable....Knopflers albums ar always well priced and his concert tickets are so cheap compared to other artists so stop moaning and enjoy what ever you want to buy!!!!!!!
-
Sorry but I am NOT going to spend 134,35 for a CD boxset! That is just insane. This must be the most expensive deluxe set I've ever seen!
I'm a modest person and I don't have a money printer at home and I won't buy it for prestige reasons even if I had the money. It hurts me to learn this is MK's decision. If it is so special, then why such a high price that some people might not be able to spend? LK, you say MK's concert tickets are rather cheap so we shouldn't complain about the boxset - well everything is a matter of perspective I'd say. I don't have a steady job yet because I want to choose it very carefully and I'm still working on my PhD outline. Consequently, I need to consider everytime I spend a larger amount of money. For me, going to several MK concerts means sacirifices, like no vacation for example. That's okay because I know it's worth it. Poker chips, dice and a guitar tab are NOT worth it. As for the extra songs, I'm going to do what MK does not want us to: download them illegally!
Sorry I'm a little upset about all of this :'( It's so weird.
-
Half the price and I might consider it. Sad sad day for Knopfler fans. :(
-
I call the dice, chips and replica ticket, etc the equivalent to Christmas cracker tat! Does MK seriously think that is what his fans want? Would he himself be impressed with that? I don't think so!
LK Are you really impressed by a REPLICA ticket! Most of us here have loads of REAL tickets - we don't need replica ones! ::)
-

LK Are you really impressed by a REPLICA ticket! Most of us here have loads of REAL tickets - we don't need replica ones! ::)
Ha! Christmas cracker tat! Nail on the fucking head Val (pardon my French).
I have drawers full of genuine old tickets also. As for the vinyl, well, I no longer have a record player. Sure, this appeals to some people, but let them buy it seperately, again, I'm sure they don't want to pay for all the rest of the crap, just the vinyl.
And the tab book, well I'm a guitarist, but i don't want the tab book, I like to work things out for myself. The tab books are ofetn wrong anyway, because the artist (in this case MK) doesn't usually get involved and it's just down to some guitar player to work it out... like I end up doing myself.
-
I'm surprised there wasn't a paper hat and a silly joke in there too! ;D

Val, I fear MK doesn't care at all and this comes from the record company.

I won

If the price stays around 100 euros, I don
-
Martina, If MK doesn't care, then perhaps the record company should take some responsibility about what is going on! It is in their interest too to sell as many box-sets as possible. ;)
-
Val
The Deluxe box set is in limited quantities, so the question is how many will be produced?
This only show us once again the limited strengh and/or involvment of the artist with control over his own work versus what do the record company with it.
-
If the price stays around 100 euros, I don
-
For 134 Euros you can get a build-your-own-guitar-kit! This would be an idea ;D - but craps dice? I guess it's rather dice & crap!
Anyway do, we need a DVD with behind the scenes? Usually this videos are always the same: shaking handycam, musicians telling bad jokes and old war stories backstage, stereotyped answers to stereotyped questions like "Do you like your fans?" or "Do you like playing here in ..." - ah and yes, the current album is of course the best they ever did and so on. ::)
And just for the accountants to check:
- 2 LP 25 EUR
- Tab book 20 EUR
- CD/DVD/Bonus CD 20 EUR
- some other stuff 2 EUR
Makes 67 EUR. Difference to 134 is also 67. Hmm - maybe you get each item twice ;D
Cynical? Shame on me! ;D
-
my two cents:
Is this Deluxe edition a rip-off? No, if the final price will be 70-80 euro, it's just a bit overpriced box.
Is it what the fans expected? No, it is nothing special. Vinyls & tab book have been always released separately, while the rest (dice, chips and ticket replica (!) ) are just a joke, with no value. The bonus cd with 3 tracks is just a cd-single (I'm quite sure it will appear on ebay).
I really don't care this package (do you really think there is no other way to get the bonus tracks? ;D): I would be annoyed if this should have been the only way to get his music, but fortunately I can choose the less expensive Digipack edition.
MK never tried to please to his fans (like other artist do). But my question is: must he? My answer is NO. Yes, the fans buy albums and concert tickets, but nobody force them to do it. MK's job is to write and play songs, nothing else.
MK is not going to release live stuff? No alibi, it is his choice; but in my opinion he has no duty to the fans.
Maybe with his behaviour he's losing many fans on the way, but clearly he doesn't care about it. MK is this: take or let.
-
Completely agree with you, rudiger.
The best protest against the deluxe box set is for no one to buy it, but despite all the moaning that's been going on about price and content, I bet it will sell pretty well.
-

I don't know if it will. I don't think MK sells a lot of records these days, particularly. It depends on what you define "well" as. I mean, On Ever Street sold 8 million or something, I haven't seen any sales figures for KTGC but I'd be surprised if it sold much more than 1 million.
-
I'm surprised there wasn't a paper hat and a silly joke in there too! ;D
Yes, Val, or maybe one of those 'fun' party blowers or confetti. Are we having fun yet? :'(
-
Yes, I was thinking of party-blowers too, but couldn't think of the name for them! YES! I'm sure we're all having great fun discussing the box-set! :D
-

we don't need the behind the scenes DVD but the clips are far more interesting than you describe; have a look on Guy's site, there are a few there, he's interviewing car drivers, lighting technicians, drums tech, caterers, I find them very interesting.
-
Yes, but we had those for free on Guy's site before, so I think they are just fillers for the box set. :-\
-
Mark is not the Dire Straits blockbuster seller anymore but as long as he can record the stuff he likes and tour who care?
Just that apparently one reason for "no" 2008 show being filmed is due to a lack of commercial potential.
-
Yes, but we had those for free on Guy's site before, so I think they are just fillers for the box set. :-\
True, I was just responding to Tobi who didn't seem to know what they were
-
Oops, sorry! ;D I think they were very interesting though, and I really enjoyed them, but nevertheless fillers in the box-set. :)
-
Yes, very interesting, but not worth spending 70 pounds for just them and 3 tracks.
-
And I think we all have those video's allready downloaded from Guy's site.
So there must be a lot more on the DVD.

i guess you did not buy that pink floyd deluxe set then (ok, it was limited to 10,000 worldwide - forgot my #- but that just contained all the albums, remastered and in their original vinyl artwork (with cardboard and plastic or paper sleeve inside and all text printed very minimini...) and that was something like 155 euros, NO extra's
but that does not change my opinion, i will buy coz i am a knopfler nutter, but i am furious about the price in relation to the content, and also wrote that to Guy. it is not the content itself, as lk also explains, it is the price for that content,....

And about buying, looking at the different prices there is something that looks like an smart idea to me. With the pre-order lowest price policy from Amazon, maybe it

I think it is about time that we can see some photo's from the deluxe boxset.
Maybe it is shaped like a fender guitar? Or like a big dice?
I have asked Salvadordesign for a picture from the boxset, so hopefully get some answer over the weekend.
If everybody has got some connections at record companys please ask them for more info!
I am really curious about the shape of this box.
-
Hi all. WOW. Just come back from a 10 day holiday in Ibiza. Great to catch up on such a lively subject.
It's sure made interesting reading.
I do tend to agree with Pottel.
I am a box set junkie. ;D I love the whole look, feel, smell of them (am i weird?)
I have box sets by Pink Floyd, Dave Gilmour, Steely Dan, Bob Dylan, The Eagles, Tom Petty, just to name a few.
I agree that it would definately be good if we could get a few pics of what the GL box set actually looks like.
I have a hunch though, that the actual price will not be quite as expensive as first thought. Even if it is, i predict the price will drop very quickly after maybe only a month or two.
I am a very shrewd music buyer, and have found some amazing bargins if you keep your eyes regularly peeled on the music shop shelves.
One case in point is the red 'Bob Dylan' Best Of wooden box. When it first came out i think it was nearly
-
a lot to catch up nigel. hasn't been as busy for ages.
-
Welcome back BBB! I think I will do like you say, buy just the digipack and then wait and hope to get the box later at a reasonable price!
-
Why am I still tempted to pre-order the deluxe version? ???
-
BBB - Hmm, are these box-sets really going to be worth a lot of money in the future? If things go the way of your Bob Dylan scenario, probably not, therefore it's much more sensible to wait until it surfaces in the bargain basement! That's what I intend to do! I have ordered the digipack now anyway! :-\ Hope you enjoyed your hols btw! :)

Bear in mind Val that if you order from Amazon you may not get it on release day, that's why I'll be buying in a shop. :)
-
I've already done it, dusty! I'll have to keep my fingers crossed. I hope it arrives quicker than with Markknopfler.com, because last time it was a week after the release date when it arrived, from Canada!

I want to buy it in a shop directly on the release date too but not every store has every version available (certainly not the 135 EUR version, I'm sure, but I had trouble finding the digipack last time, too). And who knows, there might be a super secret concert voucher in the deluxe edition again :o
And in reply to Pottel: See, that is my point. A price of 155 EUR for an entire back catalogue of a musician is worth its content and worth buying if you haven't bought any album yet. But 135 EUR for some plastic stuff, vinyl and tab book is NOT worth it. The Gilmour boxset had a similar content (IIRC, it was five discs, a guitar pic and some postcards) and had a reasonable price. So why not MK's? And to be honest, Guy's attitude a la "You don't have to buy it" sounds more like pouting to me... I WANT to buy it but I can't, because the price is plain ridiculous. Guess I'm gonna wait until it's on the bargain basement, too.
-
I decided to wait until a few days before release date. Since we have a MediaMarkt in our little town, I am more relaxed - they always have everything at the first day... I am planning to ask them about the prices for all three formats. And I am sure the prices WILL sink till Sept. 14th. I am pretty sure the box set will at least be unter 100 Euros, so 98,- I would imagine realistically. But even then I have to think properly, because around that same time
the ticket presale will start and I have to make some fast decisions where to go and how many tickets I will buy - so Sept/Oct will be very expensive.
I good idea seems to me the plan of somebody here and maybe selling the vinyl stuff later on ebay or so... That however HAS a certain value - whereas the plastic crap will get a good laugh from non-MK-fans...

P.S.:
I THINK IT IS REALLY TIME NOW FOR SOME SNIPPETS. Back in 2007 we had at first clip TLWNF on MKcom as mp3 on August 8th. (My diary never lies!) So this week it WILL happen, I am desperately sure!

Too true.
If MK inc. cared one iota for the `fans` then there`d be a nice box set of Alchemy DVDs for sale?
Obviously the artist does whatever pleases himself and, in a way, this makes Mark kinda unique in this material / digital age. Enjoy him while you can.
-
Fact is that MK does not care about anything other than pleasing himself, because he is in a very unique situation. He made a huge fortune with DS and when it went too big for him, he stopped it. Nowadays, he would not get a record deal anymore, but he can live from DS fame.
Great for him, bad for us as we all have to live with compromise, especially at work, but not MK. As Guy said it is 100% Mark's decision. The new album should be called 'Got lucky'.
But at least we've got GF who is IMHO too good for this world...
-
Oh, come on Martina, admit it, you know you love him really or you wouldn't travel around the world to see him so many times and still wait for his autograph! ;)
As for not getting a record deal these days, maybe not, but neither would Clapton, Gilmour, et al ! In that case though, it doesn't say much about the taste of the record companies or the record buying public - it seems a sad state of affairs to me when there is so much rubbish around who do have record deals! ::)

Sorry Val, you are wrong. I don't 'love' him, I like his music, I can very well distinguish here. True - I travel the world, we went to Japan to see EC, but we also played golf on Maui lately and I'll be in Abu Dhabi to see F1.
Don't take it personally, other musicians don't care as well...
-
Martina, When I said "love" it was in the sense of "admire"! ;)
Of course, I didn't take it personally - it was just an observation, that's all! :) :-*
-
I kinda agree that Mark would find it hard to get a record contract now. Can't really see him impressing Simon Cowell on X Idol or Pop Factor, or whatever this years talent(less) show is called.
But I really enjoy the journey he has taken us on since he put DS in mothballs and long may he continue to record and perform the music he wants to make (even though I do not like all of it).
I get the feeling that Mark is quite an astute operator and would have retained the copyright to all of his back catalogue, so when he does decide to hang up his guitar, I think then will be the time we will see the nostalgia DVDs being released to feather his retirement fund.
-
Martina, When I said "love" it was in the sense of "admire"! ;)

Admitted, there are a lot of people I admire: Stephen Fry, Tiger Woods, Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Dominic Miller, Michael Schumacher (will be back in Valencia!)...
But, I've got the impression that YOU are secretly in 'love' with Mark. I got you! ;D
-
I think that would apply to most people on this forum - both male and female! ;D
-

I'll be the first to admit it -- It applies to me :o :o :o
As for the boxed set, I have decided not to buy it. I just can't justify spending the extra money for 3 songs. I'm sure there will be a way to get the songs without having to pay for trinkets. :'(
-
The sad thing is that we have to admit that we will probably have to go on the dark side of the moon to get these tracks without spending that awful lot of money. :-X
-
Come on people the only thing we have to be happy about is that MK is going to release a new album and he is going to tour around next year, I don't care about some extra songs that we will surely listen somehow on radios or maybe even online ,It ain't going to happen anything if we don't buy that deluxe box set with all that crap inside either.MK has changed a lot over years that's true but we need to respect him for what he is and we all know it's someone else that wants to earn commercially even though Guy says it's 100% MK's decision.For me I am just going to order the digipack and hopefully make my dream come true next year that's all. ;D

Ahh, another Stephen Fry fan! He is awesome isn't he. I signed up at Twitter mainly because of him :) "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" = Best comedy ever 8) Speaking of it, I'm secretly in love with Hugh Laurie ;D
Sorry for the OT, just had to throw that in ;)

Really? I met Stephen a few times in London: Apple Store, Hay on Wye and iTunes Festival. Very kind man. And HL? Oh, dear, I should NOT mention that he is one of our neighbours now. :o
OK, enough OT! Sorry! :-X

I'm sure Stephen is great. I love his humour. Oh and he's in Bayreuth right now, I read his tweets regularly :)
About HL: :o You shouldn't have said that. I think I need to pay you a visit next summer Martina - so that I can stalk Hugh a little ;D It's too late now because he's back in LA filming House... But wait until I ring at your door next year ;D
(Sorry, OT again, but this is more fun than talking about that overpriced boxset, hehe...)

Oh, he's already back? Hm, I guess living in the same neighborhood even beats twitter then ;D Need to read more thoroughly.
Oh yes, HL... Those blue eyes *sigh* Uh-oh, now you got me started! BTW I thought he lived in Camden?

omg. HL was BRILLIANT comedy, but there not really sex gods now are they?

HL lives in Belsize Park which belongs to the Borough of Camden. Stephen lives in West Hampsted.

Ah, I see, so I was almost right :) But since he's filming House most of the year he's not home very often, is he? And Pottel, of course Hugh Laurie is a sex God! He turned from an ugly duck into a swan (slightly exaggerating here, LOL!). I am totally addicted to House, M.D. As for Stephen, I wouldn't call him sexy but he is very handsome.
Ahh, the temptation of posting some pictures... But um... What was our topic again? ;D Maybe we should start an extra thread - Done 8)

Yes, we should. ::) But you were right. The administrative area of Greater London contains of thirty-two London boroughs. Camden is one of them, but when I say Belsize Park then it is a much smaller area and more easy for you to find! :)
To make a connection to this thread: HL is a multi-talented man, apart from being an actor and writer: he also plays the piano, guitar, harmonica, drums and sax. And, yes he is sexy! ;D Miriam, I'm with you!
From a female perspective: Stephen is gay, so not much for us girls to get. ??? But very charming man! And he lost a lot of weight lately, nearly 6 stones! Hint for MK...and my connection to the thread again. Hello Val!!! :D Only for his own good and our eyes!
-
Oh no, I don't think he needs to lose 6 stones or he will disappear! :( Hello, Martina!! :D
-
Oh no, I don't think he needs to lose 6 stones or he will disappear! :( Hello, Martina!! :D
6 stones was Stephen, but Mk can start with 1 stone first. Then we'll have a look again... ;D

Something between the GH and the STP tour would be nice. During GH he was a little too skinny and then he started to gain weight - result of quitting smoking I guess.

The weight of STP would be great now. GH he was very skinny.

GH was okay to me... No belly... :D but he's still ok i think ...

He looked OK on the promo pics - if he lost weight it would go from his face too and that wouldn't be good. I like him as he is! :P

Same problem with my mum she always want to make pictures of me... *gosh*... and says awww your sweet ... "No i'm not, i'm just your daughter..."

Me too! I always want to be photographed from my "choccolate side"... I sometimes think my face is too fat!

yes I saw it, you posted it on FB some weeks ago.. is there another one??? btw the music is good :D (always love Dr House Music's)

I also think it's a hallucination but I hope it's real... He's been hallucinating a bit too much lately. Time for some real action ;D
And I love the scene where he's stealing the basketball from the claustrophobic guy. Ahh, I can't wait until Sept 21! One week after the GL release. We have two things to look forward to! I'll make sure to buy enough Red Bull cans so I can make it through the livestream that night ;D
@Nelly
No that was the most recent one. And yes, Elbow's "Grounds For Divorce" is on heavy rotation on my little iPod shuffle 8) 8)

Still some days to get the Get Lucky album... ( really counting....) and some more days to watch the 6th season of Dr H... *sigh...... * ( life is so hard this summer....lol).

Speaking of it, I'm secretly in love with Hugh Laurie ;D

I wouldn't mind pinching those cheeks. Or does that belong in the drool section?

Alrighty, you got me. He is one hot sexy bloke and I'm not ashamed to say it out loud ;D But I have created a seperate Hugh thread so no need to change the forum's name ;D
Going to the MK drool section to check for posts about Mark's cheeks ;D

Getting back to the topic...
...call me a fool, but I've pre-ordered GL Deluxe Version. I'm not made of money, but the Knopfler fanatic inside me couldn't resist.
-
got the whole deal too....yep, i am now an official knopf knutter
-
For a long time, it was MY vote that was the only one against the Box on the AMIT site... Now there are nine against and 18 for it...
But I might change my mind and will wait as long as possible until the box gets cheaper - I am very intersted in it... And I HATE digipaks to be honest -
( In my understanding a digipak is that package used on "Dire Straits Live at the BBC" or Guy
-
Was there a vote? I've always been against it.
-
let's have a poll then! Can be interesting to see the results
-
I'm still hoping to just go into HMV on the day of release, and buy the box set, but at the moment, it seems they only have the basic and digi pack on order.
Any ideas as to the best place to order it online?
Cheers BBB
-
I have the same question as Nigel...
I would like to be sure to have my Delux Copy....And pre order it ASAP...
Prices are differents accoding to the different online-stores...
Fnac.com (french onlinestore is 109,46

Woow :D
Look great, I ordered my copy today !
Can't wait to be delivered :)
-
Nelly, did you order from Amazon.?
Also, if so, will it arrive on the official day of release.?
Cheers BBB
-
Nop I ordered from a french online store Fnac.com
Amazon.fr didn't give any details about the delux edition... so i prefer to pay 10 more
-
That looks pretty cool. I think it is a big square box. Something like the Pearl Jam Box, anyone has that one also.
I really can't wait to have this one in my hands. I think I am going for a long sleep.
-
Well, at least it must have the size of a vinyl album - so it is really "a big one", as Salvador wrote in the beginning...
LE
-
That's looks nice! ;D I hope the vinyl has the normal cover in its usual size on the front, that would perfectly fit next to my KGTC vinyl! Damn, can't wait (and no, one cannot download a 3D deluxe edition! never!). ;D ;D Probably the best 100 euro I've ever spent.

Nelly, did you order from Amazon.?

My order from amazon.co.uk says:
Delivery estimate: 16 Sep 2009 - 17 Sep 2009
Dispatch estimate for these items: 14 Sep 2009
-
Strange... In the Netherlands the release date is 11-09-2009... ???
-
I have received a Tweet from Salvador about the dimensions of the box: the box set is roughly 12" x 12" and an inch deep.
So it is a real big one. It is almost the same size as the Pearl Jam Ten Deluxe Box. Only not so deep.
-
today universal germany released a press statement on his birthday, and on the release, and they mention 11th too. i was surprised...
-
I have ordered weeks ago on amazon.co.uk ( release date 14th sept ).
Today amazon.de changed their price to 102,-- EUR ( release date 12th sept ).
Now the prices are nearly identical ... but will the box really shipped in Germany before UK ?
-
If my memory serves me right the weekday for releases - at least in Germany - was changed a few years ago. They used to release cds on Mondays, now it's the Thursday. Don't know why ???
-
Hi,
yeah. Here in Germany it will be sold earlier then in UK.
Normally you got it in your post box on release date already...
-
Localhero, I remember the last time with KTGC and also when the DVD of the Real Live Roadrunning was released, that we in the Netherlands were one of the first people who had it in hands................. So I am thinking to order the CD (and hopeful there will be a DVD in it also) in our music store and have it in hands on time.
;D

Hello Mschaap, welcome to this forum, I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we do. Thank you for your information. ;D
Ingrid I have been to the music Shop today and ordered the CD + DVD of Get Lucky for Euro 21.95. It is funny that the CD has the same price as when you buy both! LOL Also this music shop didn't have the DeLuxe version, he even didn't hear about it yet! LOL
The official date of release is indeed September 11, BUT ........he told he might have the CD/DVD a few days earlier and will call me as soon as it arrives! ;D

Can't wait.

Same here Fieneke, he will call me as soon as the CD is in the house. I didn't order with him the boxset, because he didn't answer me yet, it wasn't in the system, so I wait a little longer to order that one.

They didn't know the price because it was not in their system. They ordered the box specially for me because I do know a lot of people there too.
I met my wife while working their.
I think you better can ring your local MM and ask for the price.

It seems that in Holland the box is not in the system of the shops. But you can order it online at bol.com or amazon or whatever you want as well. There it's 99,99 euro's

It seems that in Holland the box is not in the system of the shops. But you can order it online at bol.com or amazon or whatever you want as well. There it's 99,99 euro's
Free record shop has the deluxe box (for 120 euro...). So there is actually no choice. :P

Choice is simple, order it at your local shop if they have it or online at bol.com or Amazon. Who pays an extra 20 euro? Not me! ;)

I've just read on Guy's forum that the tab will include only the track "Get Lucky" >:(
So I definitively won't buy this box. David Gilmour's Gdansk Box came with 5 CDs/DVDs and assorted memorabilia. I paid 60 Euro. Sorry, but I still think it's a rip off.

The whole thing's a big fuck up if you ask me. I'm not buying the box. :)

To be fair. I don't think Guy has ever said definitely that the tab book will be of the whole album. When asked once if the Get Lucky tab was of the whole album or just the title track, he answered that "it must mean tabs of the whole album". "Must mean" to me indicates that he was assuming it would include all the songs, not that he knew for sure. As he says today he does not know what is included.

Ingrid I ordered the second Get Lucky CD + DVD today! ;)
Knowing that I am a big fan of Mark, the man at the shop had to laugh when he saw me again! He asked if I would be back tomorrow for the third! ;D

Guy said on his website "I can't as I don't know what's in it but if that's what it says, then I guess that's it ". Which does not mean that it's true what's put on a website and that it only contains the tab of only one song. I certainly have my doubts about the information on websites about the content of the deluxe box. All internet shops show a different content (the DVD for example (2x GL or CMG and RD). Of course I don't know the content of the tab book but the work "book" implies that there are more pages (of course, a tab may consist of more than one page, but still). When I look at earlier tab books, they all contain more than one song. I can't imagine this tab book has only the tabs of get lucky / one song. And come on, if it's only one tab, we are not going to cry, are we? We're all happy we ordered the deluxe edition, aren't we? ;D ;D I AM!!!!!
Btw, @ Fieneke: no deluxe edition for you? :D ;D

That's funny, Fieneke! ;D I haven't told my husband yet how much I'm spending on the boxed set. :-\ He'll roll his eyes ::) and say, it's okay. Then I'll make his favorite dinner and all will be okay.

Quote Localhero: "Btw, @ Fieneke: no deluxe edition for you? "
Haha Localhero, no not yet! ;D I am just back from vacation and waiting for the Visa Bill! ROFL
I already ordered the CD/DVD for Mark, I will order the CD from Guy and then ..............waiting for the Tour dates and buy tickets for his concert in the Netherlands, but I also want to go to Edinburgh (if he plays there) or perhaps Brighton or London! As you know it is not sure yet where he will play and where or when we can go. ::)
The price for the deluxe edition is about Euro 100,= and I won't know exactly what I get! Instead of that, I can also buy about 2 tickets for Mark's concert in England and am sure that I will have the time of my life again! ;D ...........As most of us know, we all can spent our money once and have to make choices. ;)

@ Fieneke: holidays always turn out to be expensive, isn't it. ;D But hey, if it was a great holiday, that's what counts. ;)
I hope to see two or three shows next year (probably amsterdam, cologne and brussels (or antwerp)). And I still have a M&G 'in da pocket'!!! ;D ;D ;D
The bonus DVD is not exactly something I'll be looking forward to have. I can live without the DVD's. Until now, I played the DVD's from SL and KTGC only ONCE. It's likely that they never see the DVD player inside again... ::) Nice to see it once, but that's it. :) The vinyl will be played two or three times, though the big cover looks great on the wall! :P
-
Haha, Localhero, also framing the vinylcovers? I still have a lot of frames unused, have to do the job when I am old and grey I think, because now I never come to start it again. I have now on my wall at the office: Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms and Love over Gold. Have the frames for all other vinyl here, so once I will have the framed all ;)

OK, I have succumbed! In spite of saying I am a "maybe" I have changed my order at Amazon to a boxed set! My husband, Colin, says he will hang the dice from the car mirror, LOL! ;D
-
Confirmed by Salvador Design, the tab book only has the tabs for the song Get Lucky
Does it worth that lot of money in the end?
I doubt it very much >:(
-
The raw material the box is made of isn't worth a single dollar. ;) No doubt. It's what's it contains. If you download the bonus songs from a torrent (which is likely to happen although it is illegal anyway, I won't be the one who's uploading them), you don't have to pay anything. :)
Think of the price of attending a show: MK takes more than TWO HOURS of my valuable time! The worst thing is, I have to invest even MORE time to go to a gig and I have to pay 60 euro for it as well!!! It's a shame!!! :P ;D :D

My local store called yesterday. They could order the box, but with a price of 135,99. I said, way too much, online it's 99 everywhere.
Today they called back and told me the wholesaler changed the price to 99 euro as well :)
So I ordered it from my local shop, and I expect to have it one or two days before the 11th :D
-
It's down to 95 EUR at amazon.de now. I'll watch it for some more time. If the price goes down 20 more Euros I might consider buying it.

I do agree, until then I am in the list of who won't buy it. Too much money for nothing...just a way to take money from fans. No thanks, there are most important things for me.
I don't want to change the world but these are commercial madness and speculation. I would feel very bad if I buy it "just because I am a fan". It means for me: "I'll give you 100 Euro just because I am stupid".
This is what I would think of myself and is not related to what you all decide, I love and respect everyone in this forum.
I will use the money to visit my friends and family who lives far away from me. That's worth it for me now.

Ok, Ladies & Gentlemen, the deed is done.
Deluxe Box Set just ordered from Amazon UK. ;D
I should receive on 15th or 16th. 2 days after release day. :'(
Which means knowing how crazy i am, i wont be able to wait, and i'll have to buy the basic edition on the 14th as well. :o

Maybe you allow me to be a little off-topic here: Kraftwerk releases a Box-set, too, the eight EMI-releases are digitally remastered and become available in a Box Set from Oct., 2nd. Eight records. I understand there are two editions, one with 8 heavy vinyl records and a cd edition with expanded artwork.
Priced 85 Euro. It is called "12345678 - The Catalogue".

Does anyone know how much digipacks cd and dvd will be for sale
-
Too many I guess. They say it's limited but often you can't find the one CD version of the album anywhere. I've seen shangri-la without bonus DVD only once in my life, never seen the single disk RPD in my life. KTGC is most of the time the CD + DVD version (in shops). I think you got a rare CD if you have the "normal" CD. ;) The only thing which is in fact limited is the deluxe edition. :)
-
Well I hope there will still be some Digipacks left on the beginning of october as I have to order it online because of the country I live in.

So as it turns out, the CD/DVD version will not be sold in the US. It's only available as an import in stores or online, similar to the special edition of the Ragpicker's Dream. Not that this effects that many people here.

Yesterday the Deluxe Box wasn't in the shop yet and because I bought the other releases online I didn't want to take the CD or digipack with me (I almost did but thought this is ridiculous, I ordered all 3 of them, only the deluxebox at the shop). They phoned the wholesaler and they told them it would be in the house today, so after work I will run to the shop and NOT be able to watch the DVD's because of a 40th birthday of a friend ::)

It's official release, so not allowed. I appreciate you want to let us hear, but no links to official released stuff on this public forum, sorry!

what is glenn saggers talking about when he mentions this "problem" they had in Berlin with one of th Fenders??

Didn't see the DVD yet, but in Berlin (showcase 2007) it was extremely hot and Glenn wasn't able to tune the guitars very well. One minute after tuning it was wrong again. I will have a look later this week, very busy at the moment, have to work all weekend, and 2 parties as well.
-
what is glenn saggers talking about when he mentions this "problem" they had in Berlin with one of th Fenders??
Yeah, if I remember MK made a comment during the show just after I think The Fizzy and the Still if memory serves saying it was out of tune or something. As already said, due to excessive heat as mentioned on Guy's diary.

I just recived my box set via a delivery courier, only to discover when i took it out of the Amazon packaging, that the cellophane surrounding the box was ripped, which in turn had caused a deep gash on the front cover right across the writing where Get Lucky is. :'(
I'm sure some people could live with this, as i'm sure the contents are fine, but things like this bug me, so i rang Amazon UK up, and they are sending me a new one. But now i'm going to have to live in agony for a few days looking at this one and not being able to open it. >:(
Why meeeeee.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ???
Cheers BBB :'(
-
Oh man, i really feel your pain!!!!! Sincerely. I once bought a Fender Strat off ebay and discovered a big scratch across the fingerboard when it arrived, along with a dent in the hard case!!!! I got it all fixed up (the guitar in my pic) so don`t worry! :)
BBB, i hope your new boxset arrives quick!!!! How come, you can`t open the one you`ve got?

I probably can, but it won't feel the same.
I know that sounds crazy, but i'm really funny about these sorts of things.
I need to open the box set which will eventually become 'MINE'.

Well some artist still know what Limited Edition means. I wanted to but the new EC Limited Edition but first asked some friend at a record shop to check wether he could get it.
Eventually after 2 weeks he called me and said, sorry mate but I couldn't get it.
But now it IS SOLD OUT at EC's site. Checked everywhere but nowhere to find.
So Limited Edition has got a meaning.

Maybe they made the same number of each, but EC sells more records? Or maybe EC's wasn't such a stupid high price with stuff that most people had no use for (vinyl, replica ticket etc).

Maybe the fact that the price is only 39.99 dollars may the reason why it sold out so quickly. It's still available in Canada, Germany and NZ, though. :)

Just decided to buy the Get Lucky Deluxe Box which is still available at Amazon Germany. Got it for 66 €. Some decisions take their time! :-) It seems it was not too "limited" after all...
Next one on my radar: Privateering Box...
-
Wise decision it seems, even if it wasn't out of wisdom it was taken! :) I got mine at the time of release for 80 Euros Euros. So a 14 Euro gain for you to buy the next box! The whole thing with limited editions is a bit peculiar. It obviously targets (as in target group) the loyal fans, yet in order to manufacture it cheaper they do have to have bigger quantities. So it becomes sort of stock market, instead of supply and demand. The more they want it, the higher the price remains. When nobody wants it the price drops. Of course the price drop of this box is not considerable, like the Bob Dylan bootleg series limited editions (More than half priced), which if nothing else, makes me feel that I wasn't cheated when I bought it at the time of release. Anyway, happy spins!
-
Hello and thank you.
It is shipped from Germany so it has not arrived yet. I hope to have the box in my hands at weekend.
I thought about the connection between album release, content, quality and Deluxe box. The feeling that a certain thinness of the album's content is tried to be somewhat replaced with Deluxe content. Any how great it would have been to have Deluxe Editions of the REALLY masterpieces, Sailing To Philadelphia and Ragpicker's Dream. Imagine the nice possible artwork with planes, and compass and everything.
Other artist's Deluxe Editions have real DELUXE content, and the word should be taken seriously. Luxury is everything above the usual. So some real complete live recordings, stuff from the vaults, unreleased or alternative stuff.etc...
Privateering: The tour had so many songs they played, a 3-CD-set with ALL songs played live on the tour etc. etc..
BUT the boxes look so great and they smell so good! In fact I don't even own a record player, but looking at and touching the vinyls is somewhat great.
EDIT: The great John Bratby painting of the Kill To Crimson album would also have made a PERFECT Deluxe box. Just imagine!
Hope to get the other two boxes within the next couple of months.

Yes, the idea of Deluxe-luxurious boxes is lovely, provided they are indeed something special. Being a fan (trying to get everything they release) of at least 5 musicians - bands, I have to say that all of them let me down a bit. Buying a deluxe edition for the extra songs and a nice book with info, or even a special print would be fine, but I fail to see the reason to put everything in a box twice or three times, thus paying 3 times (and probably more) the cost. (Pink Floyd did that with the immersion editions, on CD, DVD and Blue ray. The extras, books and prints were lovely, but the marbles and scurf were rather peculiar choices, more of excuses for the high price. And the design and quality of the box that hold the discs is rather bad, especially for products that are shipped worldwide without much care.) I also don't understand why 2-3 different editions with different extras have to be bought in order to have all the extra songs. (Tracker, Privateering and Get lucky did that, plus the extra songs exclusively by itunes and amazon...). It somehow defies the logic of a proper album to put extra songs (that sometimes are better from some on the standard release). And I wonder why MK that so strongly objects on deluxe Dire straits editions, (we all look for the demos and some live versions, that do exist) does just that at his solo adventures. The only one that focused on content rather than paraphernalia, was Bob Dylan with his Bootleg series. But even there I fail to see how a compilation of out takes can be issued in single-double-triple CD versions and be considered deluxe. The offered material on the deluxe boxes is so much greater in volume than the standard release that renders it a completely different release. The last of the series went even further, and issued a double-6 discs-18 discs release with prices ranging from 20 (for the CD, 60 for the vinyl) to 700 Euros!!!! And yes, I couldn't afford the 700 Euros edition. I will expect a price drop on the 6 disc edition though. Anyway, that has more to do with marketing strategies rather than the music, but it somehow taints the music as well.
Having said all that, I am sure that you will enjoy it! By the way ragpickers, Shangri-La and kill to get Crimson have been issued on vinyl, (rRagpicker was a numbered limited edition, but Shangri La was also rather limited), so it would be lovely to have the first two on vinyl as well.

Hi all the Deluxe Box Edition owners, I wander if one of you might help me by sending to me a little photo (not even a scan), just a photo of official "Get Lucky" tablature, which was included in the box. I don't even need it really, I just want to compare my results with something these professionals came up with. I don't have a Deluxe Box in my possession and I don't know anybody who have it, thanks in advance!
UPD: I was contacted by almighty LE! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
