Dire Straits: The Complete Studio Albums 1978-1991 (8LP+Download)

[H97]

There's a conter-example (is it the same word as in french ?) : live at the bbc was released in 95 including an unreleased song :What's the matter baby ?

Thing is that that was because DS had to release one more album, due to their contract...

I never knew that, I thought that release had nothing to do with the band and was a bbc release as they owned the rights.

Once I've read, don't know where, that MK was unaware of the release, and wasn't happy with the results, but the record company did it anyway in order to fulfill deliver obligations from the band.

I believe the DS contract contained one more album, studio, compilation or live. As the band had split up, they got this live release and no studio album.

Wasn n't it the sultans comp from 1998 ?

Don't think so.. their contract ended in '95 I believe..

Don't get me wrong folks, I always wonder, when directly write and communicate to each other, why always copy the whole before thread? Makes it very hard to read sometimes. As long as the post before is answered, I don't see no need to copy the whole material again and again.
Sorry for nitpicking, just sayin'

yes, 1998

It contained the disc from RAH 23rd May on the GH tour which was 1996 so it must have been post '95!

well I know that the sultans comp is from 1998.

My question was if this comp could have been the  last album, studio, compilation or live in the DS contract, quoted by Hugo97.

in 98, Ed was still there. I don't know if there was still contract clauses with the record company at this time ?

I know Wikipedia isn't that reliable, but it says the following about the live album:

"Live at the BBC was released on 26 June 1995, the year in which the group officially disbanded. According to Knopfler, the album was released because Dire Straits still owed one album to Phonogram Records (now Mercury Records). This album was a means to end the legal contract, before Mark Knopfler began his solo career (still signed to Mercury)."

I read that too but other artists released Live at the BBC albums too.  To me it seems like a series of BBC releases taken from their archives.

The vinyl market is there obviously and it is growing.
Only last friday at work (bookstore) I was reading about a new edition from the radio play of "THE HOBBIT" from a very famous German recording from 1980 - box set, 7 vinyl discs, 70

Hey! In the photo I see BiA and OES as simple sleeve records. I was hoping for gatefold ones. Cheapish... Just wish they are just the props and the double vinyls are housed in gatefold sleeves.
Also I see that the price in both Amazon.de and amazon.co.uk is increasing by the day. It started at 71 BP and 135 Euros respectively and now it has gone to over 85BP and 153 Euros! What is the matter with this? Any insight? Is this a rip off? Do they get so many orders?

Quite cool box cover.

Quite MM, which in turn look like an old fashion yet stylish paper's folder!
