Another toy guitar for the bargain price of £247.50.

Absolute fucking tat.

so it’s not on your Christmas list then. I was more interested in the BIA tour recordings.

So, the first official publication of live recording from the BIA tour will be in mp3 as a bonus.

And with Mark approval.

Sad.

I now see, the Dire Straits store and the Mark Knopfler store have different versions of it

[wakeywakey]

A bargain at twice the price

[Skinny Kid]

Are they kidding with that price ?!!!   

And we don't even know which shows ! 
If it's to get yet another version of Wembley '85 or Sydney '86 ...   

Let's have rarities for a change : 
How about MK and JJ Cale - Sweetwater Cafe, San Francisco ? 
We all know it was recorded ...

The positive thing is that the curated tracks form the BIA Tour will eventually turn up on YouTube.

This is taking the piss. Seriously. Fans have been asking, nay, begging, for official recordings from that tour since forever, and when they finally become available, they're in mp3 format on a USB stick plus you have to buy a 250 GBP toy guitar to get them. Mark and his mysterious ways. I am excited that this is actually happening, but the format and way of distribution are appalling.

Agree Hunter and Skydiver, the recordings will be on YouTube eventually, but this is ...unbelievable. Yes, I know they want to make money. Then give us something we want, to an affordable price! If you want to make money, you sell what people want. How hard can it be  It doesn't matter what flowers we (my colleagues) like where I work, we order what people want so we can sell more!

Unfortunately as this is the second in the series the first must have sold in sufficient numbers.
As his income from album sales and touring seriously declines at least they are now realising what fans want.
Sooner or later full shows will be available to download and it is inevitable deluxe/super deluxe editions will be made.
Unfortunately in MKs world the snail decides the pace.

I don't think the Les Paul "replica" sold well - as it's 500 pcs. limited edition and still available after all this time.
Also I highly doubt MK in signing each and every weird initiation of the merchandise team (i.e. "vintage" concert posters, t-shirts etc.).
