Sailing To Philadelphia 25th anniversary

[Robson]

If I understand correctly, where is the CD version?

Exactly.

Only LP and Blu-ray

That's strange. Maybe the CD version will have a concert, but they can't release that information yet. I want to believe.

Dream on. Where would be the unique selling point of a CD? The vinyl edition is the first stand-alone release of the album and the atmos Mix is new. I am sure you have the CD already?  I guess this is what we get.

It's really strange not to include a CD with a live performance from 2001... it would have been perfect, as was done for the Brothers in Arms 40th anniversary. A missed opportunity!

Very strange not to include a CD with a live 2001...it would have been perfect as the Brothers in Arms 40th anniversary release. Missed opportunity!

Exactly!

Well, they are celebrating the 25th anniversary of a record for which they recorded 29 songs and recorded five concerts...

Logical say that a 25th anniversary should be just the same record with transparent vinyls and, as we are in 2025, let's do an Atmos mix and release a Blu-ray!

[Robson]

Bruce Springsteen would do it differently

Ridiculous. Only a fool would waste their money buying these re-releases that add nothing to the consumer.

Or if this isn't your thing you could invest in a nice Boswell guitar.  Yet another rare limited edition.

It's a shame that there will be no live recordings as a bonus.
Many fans think that this is his best solo album.
And the tour was great. And there were plenty of recordings...
I guess a lot of fans already have bought the solo box sets, anyway.

As the Age of New Releases is over, we now witness the age of Keep The Catalogue Alive. There are a lot of releases the last couple of years which always never make the "fans" happy, but it's good that they are there. STP on vinyl should be available, now it is visible. I go for ATRR at Record Store Day 2026, and it will go on. New and unreleased stuff not so much...

I will skip this release. I was really hoping for a live release as bonus or unreleased songs.

Same here!
A live release of this great tour would had been a dream come true for me. But now nothing but disappiontment.

Or a set of used string set forged as a bracelet LOL

Another missed opportunity

The bracelet! Need to dig out that one  But seriously, I thought it was a nice idea. Unlike the horrible old posters on the website, and t-shirts of the latest tours.
