Hello all.
This is my first post having found this messageboard. I was a huge Dire Straits fan, spending many years delivering newspapers after school listening to their albums on my old Walkman (ah, those pre IPod days!) back in the late 1980s through to early 1990s.
Having drifted away over the years I've recently rediscovered my appreciation for the band, particularly those fantastic early albums. Not so keen on the solo material, particularly when compared with the moodiness of the early Straits.....perhaps that's because of the rise tinted view one retains onwards their youth (which I associate with Dire Staits' music).
I've tried searching to see if this item has come up before but to no avail. If it has then apologies for re-posting.
I can recall on my old cassette versions if the albums that an additional verse existed in the printed out lyrics for Southbound Again. I'm just wondering if an extended version was ever recorded which includes this extra verse or if it was a misprint in the notes.
All the best everyone.
