Box set time

[quizzaciously]

Guy said "I don’t know what exactly but I’m sure the label are keen to please.". Please alright, please their wallets

On The Night begs to be re-released, but I'm afraid is not possible, because all the masters are probably gone and I've heard it was messy anyway.

From what I heard it was something like Mark's USB recordings of recent shows in the sense it wasn't an extremely professional recording. But I'd want to be wrong.

They recorded more than 20 shows of the On Every Street tour, they can do whatever they want

If they only wanted, they could do great things...

Just imagine a "dire straits 40th anniversary edition"... they could had release it with plenty of bonus, like the honky tonk demos, the rest of demos including unreleased songs like "real girl" or "eastbound train", the London Paris Theatre concert, the Rotterdam 78 concert, the Paris Chorus tv dvd... That only with material we know exists, it's so likely that exists more than we don't know...

They could release any single DS cd with tons of great material...

But they don´t give a damn about it.

I honestly don't think there is a market for this.

In Europe there is!

Why not?
Granted the complete and utter (sales) failure of DTRW won't have helped but we are talking about one of the most successful bands of all time.
It wouldn't surprise me if they tried with BIA first and see how well that does before deciding on any other releases.
However they have had many opportunities to do this and the fact it wasn't done around the Hall Of Fame induction means we might well be kept waiting and waiting
The fact that the major money spinner for MK(touring)is now finished(permanently?) his accountants and manager will surely advise him that this would be a fairly easy way to supplement his meagre pension

Physical media makes next to zero money in the industry these days.

Xcept for the limited edition boxes, if made well. See the later years for pink Floyd, costs an arm and a leg, bit you can bet the will sell every single copy, as it is exceptionally well made

Even those won't sell in large volumes enough to make any significant money, that was the original point I was replying to, the idea that Mark should release such things to make money.  Your average recording artist will get 15% per physical sale If costs are recovered.

Sell a million CDs and make 130k before the tax man gets his slice. Puts the demise of physical media into perspective really. You could have a certified platinum album and barely cover your mortgage!

The percentage figures for a box sets are probably slightly better given the lack of overheads but show me a single example where an artist has sold a box set in high volumes? They're a luxury item.

Gone are the days of making a living from recorded music.

Nope, biggest selling Floyd box set barely shipped 250k units. The artist would have made pennies.
