Money for nothing best of in 2 LP format

[Jules]

What could they release more? On the night vinyl?

For example. And if we are lucky they would release it with different sources than the original, lol

[Robson]

Why vinyl? I would like on CD:

8.09.1979 Boston
19.12.1980 Dortmund
26.04.1986 Sydney

I miss official concert albums from these years (79, 80-81, 85-86)

To Jbaent and others:
Yes, OTN as a new 2-LP-Set will be pretty good, not the hybrid-source from the two concerts. Each concert at it´s own will be thrilling. But it is a personal dream by my side.

To Robson: There are various 2-CD-Sets with the Sydney Show. "Thank you Australia and New Zealand" (Pluto Records, pretty good sound but incomplete), "Australian Dream" in nice limited-edition Fold-Out-Cover (NeverEnd Records, also incomplete but good sound), "Brothers in Sydney" 2-CD-Set (Red Devil Records, very good sound and complete show WITH Ian Molly Meldrum Intro, with Press-Conference with Mark, Ed Bicknell and Molly Meldrum, with Waltzing Mathilda-Song and MKs Donations-Speech during that show).
I prefer the two 2-LP-Set Dire Straits Down Under Vol.1 and Vol.2, (Off the shelf-records ) here you have the complete Sydney-Show on 4 Vinyl-discs in very good sound and complete)
Hmm, Boston 1979 on 1-CD is also pretty good, currently a little difficult to get (I think there is no Boston on Vinyl currently available, but who know´s)
Dortmund 1980 is not so difficult to grab as CD-Album.

To me personally i value that Sydney-show as complete one, if the spoken intro is included, hosted by Ian Molly Meldrum, with the traditional Autralian folk song Waltzing Mathilda, and with the donation-speech of Australias health-minister and mark, and of course, with the press-conference with Mark, Ed and Molly Meldrum, according to the 1986 radio and TV-transfer from OZ and NZ.
Ian "Molly" Meldrum was a famous Australian Radio-Personality and music-journalist in that time.

At this point, and after the absolute mess that was this last release, I just wish they would never touch the DS catalogue again. If they actually cared about fans they would release it with a 1992 version of Tunnel Of Love, Sultans of Swing, When It Comes To You or Planet Of New Orleans. But I can totally see them butchering You and Your Friend with an "alternate ending" or calling it "live" when it's a studio version.

The original 1988 Telegraph Road remix is now on Spotify... well I'm listening to it anyway right now!

[dustyvalentino]

So have they removed the new mix with the ending?

[onceupon84]

So have they removed the new mix with the ending?

Yes. Now Sultans Of Swing is album version, and Twisting by the Pool is remixed version! All in order!

The 1988 vs 2022 version has two natural changes now: New announced PB alternate live take and BIA new edit version 10 seconds longer.

[Jules]

Never played the new 2lp, does it have the unfaded TR?

[JF]

yes my 2 LP has the unfaded TR

[olazabalrok]

The Dolby Atmos version is now up on Apple Music. Guy kinda promised it but it doesn't have the unfaded Portobello Belle. Instead it now has the live version of Telegraph Road.  I'm not really a fan of Atmos mixes in general and don't see the value in these mixes either. Prefer the originals much more.

Those mixes need a player and a speaker that can take all the advantage of Atmos, which is a new kind of surround thing, more like real space sound or something similar, if you listen to it on normal speakers or normal headphones, there is not much difference, which makes this thing kind of dumb, as I bet not much people are going to buy sounds bars or special speakers to listen atmos nowadays...

I'm thinking about concert from Paris on June 20, 1983. Portobello Belle version is on the 1988 compilation album. But the concert was not recorded. There is no soundboard version. I wonder if there are more songs from this concert and why we only know Portobello Belle

Are you sure the show wasn't recorded ?
I heard that they recorded several shows between june and july 1983, because they already had the live album in mind

[Robson]

Possibly, but I haven't found any information about recording a concert from Paris. Only Hammersmith Odeon London 22 & 23 July 1983.

But in the booklet of the Money For Nothing album it also says June.

[the visitor]

There is information somewhere,  either here or over at On Every Bootleg that compares an audience recording from Paris with the soundboard version  on the MFN compilation, which confirms that the version on the old MFN compilation is actually from Paris.

So at least one show from there was recorded professionally we can assume with reasonable confidence.
