Thanks for sharing. I feel like I can live without this one.

Very curious that they decide to re-release this compilation that was out of print in both LP and CD after the release of the compilation "Sultans of swing" and some years later the "Private Investigations" one...

I'm actually quite excited to get a copy of this, This was the album that got me into DS as a kid so would be nice to have it complete on LP. My current LP version does have portobello belle, but no Telegraph road.

I think this is such a cool greatest hits album, cool cover , alternate version of where do you think you're going, twisting by the pool remix and a missing track from alchemy. (edit: well a track from sometime on the 83 tour! Paris?)

I could never tell the difference with the Twisting by the Pool remix but I never actually compared closely.

Telegraph Road is just from Alchemy isn't it?

you can hear the difference in the vocal of twisting : jus before the solos Mark's vocal has been burried in teh MFN comp version. knowing that Mark did the remix himself, maybe he didn't like his voice at the time ?

Telegraph road is remixed : you can hear Joop de Korte's percussions that you do'nt hear on Alchemy, and Hal's guitar is removed during the slow part in the middle. He was a little bit out of tune in Alchemy.
unfortunately, the end of the song is faded out

"the end of the song is faded out"

I've always wondered - why ?

And I do not know to this day which version of Where Do You Think You're Gong ? I like more

[knopfler1]

Is this the release that had the alternate version of “Where do you think you’re going?” on it?

Space reasons on the CD I guess.

yes it is. the demo version recorded in fall 78 before the band flied to Nassau

appart from the song Communiqué which was composed in Nassau, all other songs from the album have been recorded during the same session as this demo.
I have a dream to hear them one day...

the overall sound of Telegraph is completely different, stunning remix imo, really great,
there's even a small MK error in the final solo which was fixed, a bending that went out of tune
which disappeared in the remix

Gotta admit, naming any compilation or reissue "Money For Nothing" is the biggest trolling ever
I'd vote for any remasterings and reissues to be named "Money For Nothing", for any artist out there.

[localhero1986]

I wonder if Portobello Belle will be the full recording or just being marked “remixed” without any noticable changes.

MK spoke about this at the time, I think it was the joint Randy Newman interview in Q Magazine.

He said something like: "I wanted to call it Contractual Obligation Album but the record company thought that was a bit heavy".
