Money for nothing best of in 2 LP format

I wonder if Portobello Belle will be the full recording or just being marked “remixed” without any noticable changes.

Do you really have to wonder that?

I'm very sure it would be the same, otherwise that would be offering something new, and that is not going to happen.

Is this the release that had the alternate version of “Where do you think you’re going?” on it?

yes it is. the demo version recorded in fall 78 before the band flied to Nassau

appart from the song Communiqué which was composed in Nassau, all other songs from the album have been recorded during the same session as this demo.
I have a dream to hear them one day...

Out of all the album demos Communique are the ones I want to hear the most.It's an album full of beautiful relaxing songs and the one MK penned album I listen to the most.
At least we have another "new" album being released next month

I know, it’s just wishful thinking…

Just another release that brings nothing new. I wish I could find something interesting in this, but it's the same songs, the same album, the same cover that has been released over 30 years ago. Nothing new, nothing to spark an interest in fans.
I mean, release different versions of the songs! Release the Telegraph Road from Japan '83 or the Romeo and Juliet from Madrid '83 or release the full version of Portobello Belle, just do anything other than the same things we've been listening for decades!

Or... just keep milking the cow's tit, I suppose.

To me, it looks like an "updated" vinyl version of the former 1988 LP-Version, but with the CD-Album-content. The Japan-CD-Album Version features the bonus-track Solid Rock. Hmm, that comes to my question: "Is this "new" release important ??

That's old news, from 2018, Ed Bicknell selling his part to a company.

It might be old new but it is still very valid.  Being really cynical all these releases do is make money for the investors for the back catalogue packaged in as many ways possible to make the most out of the back catalogue.

On the other hand some interesting mixes on this one long unavailable.  I'm not complaining

Not sure the investors with a part share would be able to force through a release but who knows.

Universal Music: Where Do You Think You're Going (Alternative Mix_Remastered 2022) new this week!

[Dutchessy]

I was searching for that one last monday (before i knew about this MFN re-release) on Youtube/spotify but i couldn't find it anywhere... Probably they saw all my search requests and decided to put it online 

[Banjo99uk]

I’m actually quite happy with this release. More than the LOG one, I’m definitely going to buy it.

Really nice this one. Gives the vibe of MK playing and singing on acoustic in 1 take then adding the rest later
