New for 2024

GF:

As far as Mark’s album is going, we are halfway through mixing.

I'm slowly losing hope for a release this year.

Me too.  Who knows, if something else crops up it will be delayed yet again! 

[Robson]

Me too a bit. But there is still a chance for this year. We have half a year

[wakeywakey]

At least 6 more weeks of mixing
2-3 weeks with Brian Johnson
Summer Holidays 4 weeks
MK procrastination period 6 months
The question is will the album be ready for release next year

And if Mr Daniel Evans had scheduled for the Royal Shakespeare Company, which he joins in June, the Local hero musical for this autumn (that seems unlikely for me right now) MK would have to record and mix the cast sing in order to have the cd and lp of it ready to coincide with the representations...

And that would delay again the new MK record that right now looks like no priority at all.

[Darling Pretty]

That's what I thought weeks ago.
Release maybe March 2024
It could also be his last album, who knows? It must be perfect then...
Let's hope not

This album is becoming old. Since Mark never looks back, he'll probably just scrap the whole thing and start a new one.

Just my thoughs...

When the record could ve ready to be released, the songs would be old for MK and he probably would have new ones for another record that would be released in ten years time and being old too!

Could be earlier if they finish mixing, these records are so well recorded in BG that they don't need much work I suppose when the mixing is done. Only have to press it, promote and distribute it. Should be do-able this year.

Let´s hope for this year with the release of the new MK album.
If the technical work is done, MK needs some good cover-design, and artwork for the album, or for possible single-releases, too. In which form it will be released ? Standard-CD-Album, Deluxe-CD-Album, 2-CD-Set, CD and DVD-Set, 2-Vinyl-LP-Set, or luxury BOX-Edition with some nice additional stuff, like Posters, Lyric-sheets, guitar-pictures, Bonus-Songs or things like that. 

[Stanko]

on a fair side, there is a huge benefit of looking at from a distance for a proper song doesn't grow old.
I personally welcome that approach patiently.

[milicz]

Same with that Dire Straits thing Guy said he's going to mix and can't say a thing. If it's something big like unreleased material, or special boxes or whatever, depending on how much work it would need, they might want to release it on Christmas, and that would coincide with the MK record, which is not a good idea commercially talking... And if that happens, I bet the record company would rather release the DS stuff first.

Where is this magical piece of info from?  You have just set my heart a flutter.

[wakeywakey]

It's Blu Ray discs of the Straits albums.

It's Blu Ray discs of the Straits albums.

Forgive my ignorance, what would the point of this be? Atmos/5.1?

Yes Atmos is the reason.
