Well, it's something, but surely for 330 GBP and on a 16GB USB drive they could have made space for uncompressed files?

There aren't uncompressed files form 2005-2013 tours. They don't have raw recordings of the mixing that were sold years ago. Difficult to explain, but that´s the real truth. Even, the best of tour compilations they are offering were made by our fellow jbaent.

You can get these toddler size guitars off ebay for about 35 quid. Including a Les Paul replica 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/224099198728

Slightly baffled as to why anyone would want a quarter size guitar.

I suppose compilation is a good idea, if only from three tours.  Still can't help thinking ... just make this available for free you money grabbing ... . Whoever is buying this is likely to be have already ploughed enough money into the Knopfler estate.

Ps Legends Club sounds a bit like a lap dancing venue

And it looks like a cheap Chinese souvenir. I wouldn't want this if someone gave it to me. Sometimes I wonder who makes these decisions.

Yes, not only it does look bad, it looks nothing like Mark's actual Les Paul! It's too dark, or maybe you're supposed to leave it under the sunlight so it would become lighter colour :think :lol

As a fan I feel mocked

you can't get a real bluray after 25 years or a real sound engineered official live but you can get this stuff,
it's just ridiculous

330 GBP!

This is more outrageous than the price of the Gibson MK Sig LP.

Just another episode of legendary trolling by MK's management. Nothing new.
Still waiting for Madrid 2001.

And with this covid thing and massive downtime going on, I would think it would be a perfect moment to put together something special. If Mark doesn't want to himself, then put Guy on the task. I'd love an official release of live songs, but all the way back to 1996 and in high quality.


But hey! Mp3s and a toy guitar, what's not to like?  ;D
