I`m very excited about this news. As a guitar noodler myself, finding info on why Alchemy has not been re-released was my main motivation for joining the non-guitar MK forums. Now it seems one of the last pieces in the DS puzzle is being put in place.
Thank you MK inc pty/ltd esq. May all your profit margins be exceeded! ;D

The only other DS material that has never been re-released would be the EP songs, right?

Surely after all this time, they won't just release it in it's most basic form. :-\

Surely a few exciting extras.?

Only time will tell. :)

I would be very surprised if this would feature new live footage. I guess that this new version sound more of a Mercury "cash in" (no pun intended this is their job) with minimal to no involvement from Mark. So they take the existing cut, apply some cleaning if needed (this is shot in video format not 35 mm if I remember well), even crop the image to widescreen format, mix the sound for 5.1 and that's it.

What will happen when this is released as simply a 5.1 audio DVD with some lifeless menu and three boring rotating images? That would be too funny- after all this time. :P

Maybe it's just me, but I don't give a fuck about menus.

As long as they don't omit anything I'll be happy :). They can keep their extras.

Mail from Chuck's site:

Question from me: Is this release seeing the daylight this year? I do hope so, been waiting a long time for a Alchemy DVD.

Answer:
I do believe so. I'm not sure what the actual release date is but I presume it to be about the same time as the new Mark Knopfler album which is due out sometime either late Sept or early Oct. Alchemy will be out as a Blue Ray release as well.

So they think it will come out this year. Let's see!

But great to see the Alchemy on Blu-Ray too.

Great news!  One puzzling thing: 'original 2" eight track'?  Was it only recorded on eight track multitrack?  In the early 70s it would be understandable, but by then, it seems a bit odd to me.
