Title: Hank Marvin - Gold
Post by: Knopflerfan on May 30, 2019, 10:18:19 PM
As a Hank fan, I got sent an email today informing me of a new 3x CD & Vinyl release on the 28th June 2019..
It is a compilation album but of note is that the beautiful 'Wonderful land' played by Hank & MK from 1993 is on both releases.
The track 'NIVRAM' (Marvin spelt backwards!) Which was the B side of Hanks & MKs 'Wonderful land' vinyl single is also on this CD album...

I have never heard Mark mention Jeff Lynne, but I have seen a photo from the session of all three men.

Even 'Nivram' which was the 'B' side of the 1993 single release of 'Wonderful land' makes the 3x CD set...

It is a testament to the high regard Hank has for Mark that he himself choose the tracks for this release and he included their work together.

Especially if you consider Mark has become significally more famous and successful than his early idol ;D

pretty sure Hank did not sell 150 million records or toured the world in front of literally millions of excited audience members.

Granted but wasn't stating wealth I was meaning popularity although you have to agree Hank is probably just as well known if not more than MK worldwide....

I think it's difficult for our non UK friends to appreciate just how big Cliff and The Shadows are here.

Not only that, Hank is literally part of the language.

MK will sell more records and tickets, but the name Hank Marvin is unquestionably better recognised here than Mark Knopfler.

Yeah, I didn't though.

Here in the UK Hank is not only famous as a guitarist (cited as an influence by Page, Gilmour, May, The Beatles) but his name has entered the language. People say they are Hank Marvin if they are "starving".

Kids use his name every day but don't know who he is...
