where is the original single mix of SOS ?

[dmg]

I really don't know.  It should work.  I've had a look at it and I can download it fine.

Choose "download now" in the blue box, then on the next page choose "free download" in the grey box.  Don't choose the "premium download" in the orange box!

I can see only blue box and when I clicked that it requires password. Weird.

If someone can PM me working links I can add them to my Dropbox. No ads, no passwords etc. Just a link.

OK, so PM me for Dropbox links!

When I was in London I tried to find all these places! Abbey road, Battersea plant, Deptford (didn't find the plaque though), ronnie's place etc! Woke up at 7 and walked until 9. Then back home to get some sleep and unload records, books and cameras!

The plaque was there at least in 2010

I had a pint in the Hope and Anchor in 2005, a pretty nice pub.

Hi all, this is my first post, I actually emailed radio 2 about the different versions and got this response;

Many thanks for your email; Radio 2 has a couple of versions that of the track that it plays.
There is a the version of Sultans Of Swing where Mark Knopfler says “Good night, thank you” near the end, this version was never commercially released, there is also a version without “Good night, thank you” near the end.
Radio 2 actively plays both versions.

Great site!

Well done Radio 2! I was born British, and comprehensive answers like this from a government organisation makes me proud.

There is in fact a difference concerning the line "Good night, thank you, now it is time to go home":
"Good night" is on all three sultans studio versions (album / single / demo), but the "thank you" is only on the single and demo versions, the album version just is "Good night, now it's time..."
