I've got to say that the sound quality is awesome. I thought that the original vinyl copy I have was good but these tracks seem a lot clearer and am very pleased with the result...

Yes, a brilliant reissue of the 12-Inch EP. Very good vinylquality and, i think not pressed through GZ-Media. I´m not sure if more DS or MK-special releases will be made for further Record-Store-Days.

Some ideas by my side: a re-release of Comfort and Joy-EP, or other vinyl-12-inch-maxi-versions of Golden Heart, Cannibals, Ruediger, and so on, packed with some really unknown versions or outtakes, a re-release of On The Night 2-LP-Set and and and..
Does someone else also have some ideas for future releases ?? :think

The Mandela concert with proper crisp sound ! Well overdue, lots of recordings out there but we need the real deal with remastered sound from the best source : the VHS / UK radio mix

I love On The Night, there is not much better than playing You and Your Friend loud.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Yes qjamesfloyd.
It´s time for a new On the night 2-LP-Set, maybe as half-speed-mastered edition to make it more audiophile to all live-music-enthusiasts.
On the used-record-market, ALL offered used editions are totally overpriced in combination with an average vg+ condition. There are German, UK, Spanish and Brazil-Editions in circulation, but all are overpriced. That is my personal opinion of such a record. It is not so rare as stated by some traders.  :think
I have bought my unplayed stock-copy Zimbabwe-Edition of that 2-LP-Set and it´s great for a definitive lower price.  8)

Here is a small advertisement-poster from a German record-store about the original release of Encores-EP in 1993.
Funny to see the three formats on the poster: CD, Vinyl-EP and MC (Tape-EP-Single).

Putting out Encores was a bit of a gamble, because it mainly targeted the fan. Because let's face it, who would buy an expensive EP 12'' reissue,  with live songs, outside the fanbase. Encores is still available straight from the company, which means that DS fans are looking for something different. And from what I can tell, not even the usual middle-men/vultures who buy in bulk to sell afterwards with a huge profit dared to stock this one. A pity, because it was a good re-release, but this lack of interest might either put off the management from putting out such things, or lead them to more safe/sure choices, that usually do not interest (particularly)  the fans, but target a more general public. Who needs another edition of Making movies? ;-)

By the way, even the double single containing the CG demos, didn't sell out that fast. It was available at the regular (RSD inflated price) for a at least a couple of years after its release. And even at discogs it didn't begin to sell before 2020, and still the price is reasonable. 
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

Hi vgonis. Exactely, that´s what i mean with the artificial overpriced offers on the online-marketplaces for average-condition On The Night 2-LP-Sets. So in that case, it will make sense to release a cool new edition of that album, maybe on 180 gramm or halfspeed-mastered.  :think 8)

You can buy the Metroland RSD release very cheap now, they made far too many copies of that.

Not surprised they've made the 'bargain bucket!
