Yes correct, all tracks were released as b-sides but never as a single album.

Thank you too for the good words! I'm trying to do all best, but not good as it was possible 3-5 years ago.

It's just announced by CD Japan

Does anyone has any of those re-releases from Japan and can confirm that the audio quality really worth the expensive price?

I have Love Over Gold SHM-SACD (without CD layer) re-issue. It was directly mastered to DSD from a Japan copy of the master tapes and sounds exellent, more better than original and remasterd CD. But Dire Straits albums on Japan SHM-CD are just clones of the standard Bob Ludwig remasters released worldwide.

If you wish to get any reviews regarding sound quality before to buy any CD or SACD, it's better to visit Steve Hoffman forum http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/index.php

Anyway they are way too expensives to worth the cost...

Maybe the Cal re-issue as it will have the three Comfort and Joy songs...

Ah, SACD - along with DAT - the ultimate in sound quality before most people went down the route of compressed mp3 sound.

Bad times for audiophiles...

I still preffer dvd-audio, because I can play them in my dvd player... No need to buy SACD player.

I think I'm the only one on here with both a DAT and SACD player!  The thing with playing on your DVD player is it's a poor player with cheap transports and you maybe won't have the benefit of proper hi-fi amplification/speakers.  Also I don't think I've ever bought an mp3 from iTunes in my life - and I'm proud of that!
