Brothers in arms 40th anniversary edition

[dustyvalentino]

The instrumental version will be good to hear (once).

I'll also be interested to see what the 1985 mix on the blu-ray sounds like. The original low volume CD sounds great but I can't help feeling they will be tempted to brickwall it...

40 years... blimey... I feel old today.

"Colour TV's"...

The dvd-audio version that went out early 2000's together with the SACD was awesome. The best 5.1 surround mix of everything they released, far superior than the STP and SL ones.

It won the grammy, for whatever that's worth.

At the Christies auction they were playing the Atmos mix of the MFN compilation, would be great to have a blu-ray of that as well.

I didn't like the Atmos version played at Christies... It sounded static to me, while the dvd-audio 5.1 sounded like sounds moving around me. The Atmos was curious as some sounds were coming from a certain speaker and so on, but I didn't feel like the sound was moving around me, while the previous did that effect.

Regarding this BIA edition, it's great they finally release a live concert of that tour officially, despite it's one very well known by fans as it was bootleged years ago, but it would be new for many people, so glad for them.

Reading Guy's forum, I'm not sure if they didn't found the full Wembley audio or if they did and the quality wasn't good enough, but the Wembley full audio would had been something new, despite we have more than 90' of it already.

They could had release BIA again without anything so, this is good in the end, but feels a bit sad that they had to found the live material guided by fans that told Guy in his forum where to find it.

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.

   Great:)

I'm pleased that they are re-releasing this but I'm struggling with a pre order on the vinyl at this price point. I bought the live box set but mainly listen to this on Spotify, and as I'm only really buying it for the San Anontio concert for the moment I've gone for the 3CD release and Blu Ray bundle.  This kind of seems fitting as the whole idea of this album is that it is a DDD release.

Having said all of this I'm sure I will buckle and buy the vinyl too though would like to see what quality is like.  The MFN pressing was total crap but the last box set was pretty good.  The marketeers will in all likelihood get their way with me.

This guy sums up the current state of the "vinyl revival" pretty well IMO:

All true and well known, and to me it's understandable... vinyl was nearly dead, plants died and now the demand is heavily increasing... a couple of billion more people on earth since the 70's.
That's why I mostly buy records from the 70's, 80's and 90's used on a regular base. But this is DS/MK. It is almost a "question of honour" to buy it. I want to have it. I will buy the CD later probably anyway. The Live Box was indeed very well produced so there is always a chance.

I know some fans are disapointed about the San Antonio bonus release. Ok its a wellknown bootleg just like Houston, Wembley or Sydney. At least we got now an official release of the BiA tour. I am looking forward to hear the full new mix of the show. A lot of fans were disapointed when the previous Live box didnt include a BiA show now we got an official live release and still people are complaining I really don’t get it.
Be happy that we get those live releases and enjoy it as much as possible.

I hardly saw any complaints? Au contraire, even dmg was pleased, which means something.

Yeah didn't see any complaints, and feedback on the teaser Walk of Life seem to have been positive.

I love that we have this released, but i have always wanted video, not just audio...

Now I'm going to complain Walk Of Life from the on every street tour I liked better
