New for 2023

[ds1984]

A Night In Summer Long Ago first single? I did not know.

I know! I remember Mark talking somewhere about not being used to record company interference....

I find this statement a bit innocent from Mark Knopfler.
Or maybe he just though he had more powerl than he actually had.

Dire Straits was the brand, not Mark Knopfler.

BTW did Ed Bicknell publicly expressed his view about the album?

I heard him in an interview telling that he thought MK just wanted to do a solo record and then going back to DS, and then discovered that he really wanted to left the band behind. Sounded like he didn't took seriously MK as a solo artist.
