Yes. 5 years ago, we had 2005, and that's exactly 20 years after 1985...

While 20 years before 2010 it was 1990, and in that year, was there any aLCHEMY release that I am not aware of?

Hmmm..

but I don't want to niggle about this, it is great to have it on DVD anyway - or even BluRay...

The CD was released in 1990 that's why it is the 20th anniversary. before that it was available as vinyl on first release.

So it seems it is the anniversary of the audio 'Alchemy' - therefore the video should be the bonus material.

Thanks, Simon! So I must have been very early buying it back in 1990 without knowing that it is a "new" cd release... I really thought I had the Double CD
some time earlier.

Alchemy released on CD in 1990? Where did you get this information? I could be wrong but I think it has been released on CD few months after the vinyl (1984). Not later than 1985 anyway.

We didn't have CDs in force in the UK till the late 80's early 90's. Yes we had them in 1984 but they were very few and far between and the albums were actually produced for CD. It was only later that the record companies thought they could milk us with re-releasing ex-vinyl stuff on CD.

Alchemy was first released on Vinly - there was no alternative in the UK at the time - wasn't Brothers In Arms their first CD release?
