Hello Dutchessy and kooba.
Topic TR version on new 2-LP-Set.
Ok, my first experience in listening to that version, i come to that conclusion that the song doesn´t sound like a live-version, because in the quiet parts of that epic song, there is no audience-background noise listenable. So it must be a studio-version. At the end of that song i have recognized some different guitarparts and than the song ended very fast. It sounds to me, like a fast fadeout, but that is my personal expection. Portobello belle is a live version. Money for nothing and Brothers in arms are shorter versions.
Topic the whole release.
Hello kooba, ok, everybody can value that release differently, but to me it is more an "updated version" to the original 1988 single LP-version, than a 1:1 copy. But there are some significant differences between the known releases.
The first vinyl release in 1988 was a single LP-Album and NOT a 2-LP-Set. Telegraph road is missing in general on the vinyl version, but it is included as a LIVE-Version on the CD-Version from 1988. The japanese CD-Version features Solid rock as a bonus-track. Solid rock is also included on the Japanese Vinyl single LP-version, but there is also no Telegraph road included.
There are some new liner notes on the lyric-picture-sheet:
