Brothers in arms 40th anniversary edition

[olazabalrok]

I bet Guy cut the full TOL as he did with PB    Let's hope its the full version...

I have the same question with Wild West End 

Spotify shows the running time for ToL: 19:26 and for WWE: 9:16.

I realized only now that there will be a repress of the single-LP original vinyl edition with the abridged versions. I wonder how well that one will sell. I bet it will no way sound better than the early german pressings I have got.

Really happy with the live show! I mostly listen to the 2.0 mix from Chuck these days, it's phenomenal! As long as Mark has the final word, I think there's no chance of getting outtakes or alternative takes.

It's been discussed many times, also by Ed, but it still makes you wonder what more is in the vaults

I am very happy about this release, to have a remixed live show from the Brothers in Arms tour is amazing

[TheTimeWasWrong]

I'm repeating myself, but the way he plays rhythm on WOL and many other songs is so unique. Underrated skill compared to everything else he's praised for IMHO.

As of right now, this release on Amazon UK
#5 in CD's & Vinyl
#1 in Blues Rocck
#1 in Box sets (CD's & Vinyl)

So, it has a lot of interest, and look like being a popular release.

Like many others here, I have BiA over and over again. Even have it on the short lived Sony dual disc format with Chuck's 2.0 and 5.1 mix on DVD-A. That and the more recent Atmos release are the only worthwhile mixes chasing down, as they're from the multi tracks and not the same two channel mix that has been re-issued to death.


It's not the live show that's a bummer - it's the fact that we get that instead of anything studio recorded that is unreleased. Alternate takes...outtakes...even instrumental...nothing...nada. I can give many examples of other artists where at least when they release an anniversary edition, they include something unreleased. But never for DS. 

Great to hear from you! Hope you are well

11 years since our beers in NYC and I haven't been back

Ed has said that there wasn't anything extra to release from the sessions... the fact that they used Walk of Life, arguably the most commercial song on the record, as a B side of the first single, bears this out...

The 2005 mix is compressed to hell and pales in comparison to the original 85 era CDs (IMO!)

The thing you have to remember is that Brothers in Arms was an obscure album that sold very little on original release, so those original LPs are very hard to come by now because so few were made in the first place.

Ok     

I meant that since the complete versions are also available on vinyl, there should be no demand for the abridged versions. Original repress I get, but it will probably done by GZ Media anyway, so...

Is there a hearing difference between the 1985 CD Stereo Mix (96/24) on Blu-Ray and the CD version which comes with the 3CD Deluxe?
I'm not sure whether or not i should buy the Blu-ray as i don't have a Dolby Atmos system.

[Love Expresso]

Better buy it. You will probably have one in the nearer future. Also you are a fan and a collector, aren't you?

I'm with LE, the bluray editions are very limited and if in the future it happens you have how to play them, you will regret not buying it when it came out.
