The release strategy was always based on touring, but now that there won’t be any tour, and the session only takes 4 weeks, 2023 seems very far away.

Probably when they went to hire the production plants for cds and lps they found out those were so busy that it won't be possible to have the record made until next year.

It's happening to most artists these days.
You might get lucky, now and then

But what if the reason is that this year he will publish something in the name of Dire Straits? :think

Given how MK enjoyed recording and crafting his albums in the past a release of his next solo album in 2022 was never realistic.
I had to chuckle at TK's Henrik Hansen-like line "no release date is available but it is likely to be towards the end of this year at the earliest".
After recording sessions are over MK likes to take (maybe too much) time to fiddle around with mixing, correcting test pressings etc.
I had small hopes that things would be different this time when in March 2020 he posted "I aim to be back in the studio recording songs as soon as possible". I hoped he would have sensed and realised how much people craved for new music from him in these scaring covid times.
But it turned out just about everything else musicwise (charity CD, contributions, etc.) was more important than recording his own songs for his next solo album. And when they postponed the recording sessions last autumn it was clear the album is on the back burner and won't see a release in 2022.
So unfortunatelly a much needed and longed for help in troubled times is still a year away...

This is really disappointing, I am not going to speculate as to the 2023 release, as we just don't know the answer, but it is a long time away.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

I agree with you Skydiver. It is difficult to keep up positivity with a timeline like this. I think it would be possible with a release late this year if they really wanted to, pandemic or not. It is probably a stupid thing to say when I know very little about the business, but when other musicians can do it, why can't he. I think most other musicians need to set more deadlines than he does, to make deals with studios, order LPs, and everything that the management do.
I will cling to the studio diary  :-\

You make some good points. Of course none of us really knows about the business and the real reasons why it will take him four and a half years to release his next album.
My point is that Mark and Guy have a fine perception and know very well how much it means to so many people what they do.
I am certain they are aware how grateful we would have been for just about anything they would have given us as a small relief during these last two years of worrying.
But all we got was "can't say" and "coming soon".

Guy already stated that producing lp records is delayed a lot and that would affect the release...

Unbelievable. awful news. A 5-year hiatus after DTRW. 5 years is a very long time for someone Mark's age. We know that there were many songs that he did record and not release in his long career. I wish they would at least sell these songs online.

Yes, this is a huge gap. I'm afraid that Mark is also really afraid of the diminishing amount of time he has left (he already said it while making Privateering and it was already 10 (!) years ago). And I think this album is going to be one of his best, also maybe, and it's always a possibility, it may be his last. Who knows? So with all this information in mind, I can wait for 10 years, as long as the end product will be good. The last thing you want to do here is to rush things.

These two years of pandemic had contributed to slow things more... Maybe without this, the hiatus would had been 3 years or 2 only.

The problem of delayed vinyl production is now known at least since 2017 with added covid circumstances in spring 2020.
It could have been considered long ago when planning the album release.
That's not a real reason.

That was my point too :), that they know it is a long waiting time for LPs and need to have that in mind. If I understand correctly, it has been like this for a while now.
To release the album on CD, and of course online, seems like a better solution to me than to postpone the whole thing for months and months for those few people that buy a LP.
