Early Bird?
« on: August 31, 2009, 10:51:30 PM »

I was not able to find it there. Anybody got luckier than me? I think it would be awful to buy the Deluxe Edition and still don

I recall the STP release, with Do America on one and One More Matinee on the other.  You had to buy both releases to get everything.   
So is there a Spanish itunes customer who can get this?   Or can anyone log into the itunes Spanish store? :-\

I checked Itunes Netherlands and there it is Early Bird.
But it says that it is only available if you buy the complete album.

I think this is not fair to the people who buy the Deluxe Edition. If I buy the deluxe edition for

Surely this track should have been included on the Bonus CD!   I just cannot understand this management's thinking!   Are they trying to alienate their biggest fans ???

It does seem crazy.!
I've ordered the Deluxe Box Set, & in buying that, you think you've got the 'definitive' version with 'EVERYTHING' on it.
I feel like i've been done over. :(
Perhaps it'll be a hidden track on one of the cd's in the box. ???

I have recorded it with my camera from iTunes. Don't know how to record properly from iTunes. So it is just 30 seconds. What I can hear in this 30 seconds sounds great.

LOL - no only on the www.mark-knopfler.nl version. Go to iTunes and select Espana or Netherlands and search Get Lucky, then you can listen to the 30 sec snippet. Sounds much better there.  :D

I found it, just recorded it with the minidisc and then put it online. Sound is much better now.

Not anymore. Still looking for a good soundcard to record directly from the internet. I do have soundforge which is a great program for audio editing.

I asked Guy about the new song, and he replied almost immediately.

"It does indeed exist, one of my favourite tracks of the sessions...a wonderful, unusual work of brilliant MK satire.... Doubtless an iTunes bonus track"

Nice work Nigel.

Totally crap if we have to pay for the whole album in a lossy format, just to get one track.

In a lossy format.

And they wonder why people illegally download stuff?
