Very interesting. Looks legit as on the French site listed under the virgin label.

Timing may be coincidental but I have a hunch this is a release for the UK Record Store day. A nice 2 x 7 inch set would be great. Let's see though eh.

Also listed on UK Amazon but no ability to pre order.

 MK news:
Many of will will be aware that back in 1977 DJ Charlie Gillett played the original Dire Straits demo of Sultans of Swing on his Radio London show. Later, Charlie issued two compliation CDs under the generic title Honky Tonk Demos. One of the tracks he featured was the '77 demo of Sultans.
Now four tracks from the original '77 Pathway studios demo tape are being released on 2 vinyl singles, three of which are previously unreleased:
Disc : 1
1. Sultans of Swing
2. Water of Love
Disc : 2
1. Down to the Waterline
2. Wild West End
These releases will be available in record shops from the 18th April which is Record Store Day in various countries. http://www.recordstoreday.com/

As far as I can see this release is only available in the UK! Can't find it anywhere else then at the UK Recordstoreday site.

It is also listed in the Netherlands record store day site and Amazon.fr offers it for pre-order, at 12 Euros. Which is peculiar, since such releases were suppossed to be available through b&m record shops. 
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

I take it these will just be versions that are already available on the Demo's bootleg?  If so, nothing to get too much excited about then.

dmg I am very happy for at least 3 reasons. First because we get a piece of history officially released in a format I love. Secondly (and most important) because this reveals a change in the MK attitude to release demos and songs not already included in the albums we know. Thirdly because since the new deal with Virgin EMI, (Universal), we might expect more such treats! Remember that we are very close to 25 years from OES!
