Brothers in arms 40th anniversary edition

[Robson]

I'm waiting for the official album but unfortunately my store has a release date of May 23 but I see that Universal sent the album BIA and San Antonio. I won't wait

I started listening to San Antonio, amazed by the quality, it certainly offers new perspectives on the songs. Unfortunately, in RATR Live San Antonio, Chris brought the flute sound forward at 09:55, exactly at the moment when Mark makes the lick that signals that the song is going to end, in this case, he anticipated it, this flute sound was always after Mark's lick, who here had to back off, almost he basically didn't even continue.

How powerful this song is live, lucky for those who had the opportunity to witness this atmosphere live at the time

Although this is not my favorite performance of the tour  (I prefer Wembley, especially for TOL and BIA), the sound quality makes up for it. Every instrument is so clear!

This show is document why they were so big back then. They really were! So fresh, so cool, so much energy, so original. We were absolutely right to become fans during those years. Phenomenal historical release. Again, same as with the Rainbow Show, it would have deserved an exclusive live album release on its own instead of being part of a Box Set.

I have the CD also and of course it's nice to have the Romeo & Juliet intro NOT faded out (and back in) as on the vinyl.

Yes I decided to let go any common sense and get the full monty with this release, got all three. Can't wait for the instrumental versions on the Blu-Ray.

It was nice from MK to give Jack this Wild West End solo. It really added more to the show than any other "inside left" ever did in the complete history of the band.

Every single version of this show is superior. What a blast the audience had during that tour.

I got the vinyl box set today and just listened to it, it is really, really good! What a sound quality! The only weird thing for me is the paper wrapping around the vinyl which is really wrapped like it is dropped in water and dried up.

The other thing is: I bought the brothers in arms in 2022 as a half speed mastered and I thought with this release, it will also be half speed mastered because it is on 2 vinyls instead of 1. So the past three years they made:
- half speed mastered 2lp vinyl
- mastered 2lp vinyl
- mastered 1lp vinyl

Why are there so many brothers in arms albums with different quantities. The more lp’s, the more I have to change the sides haha.

Besides that, the release is amazing! But now I have the original BIA, half speed mastered and normal mastered vinyl version… I guess I’ll have to use the dutch marketplace haha.

btw, The liner notes are also great, it is just a whole interview with Mark, John and Guy by Paul Sexton and they are just catching up memories about the whole making of BIA and the tour. Great new stories IMO.
