Fan Wish List

[quizzaciously]

So obviously, a lot of good things happen these days, with great releases, and clearly, the MK team and Guy Fletcher in particular care about fans and legacy.

I wonder what other things could be done here? I really think Guy does a great job with all these remasters, a local hero right there.

Vinyl versions of Golden Heart, Sailing To Philadelphia
The Ragpicker's Dream LP reissue, Shangri-La LP reissue
Remastered and extended version of On The Night live album
Expanded version of Alchemy
LIVE AT THE RAINBOW proper release

Obv, a lot of other things are in the pipeline, namely

New MK album
Interviews and EPKs
Henrik Hansen movie
Teenage Cancer Trust thing
Mark and AC/DC guy documentary
Local Hero release finally

A lot of stuff! My requests would be as follows:

Reissue the Fender Mark Knopfler Signature Stratocaster
Remaster On The Night video in 4K if possible with tons of bonuses
Release one of the live shows from the late 2000s as it seems to be the peak of MK

I'm good for live stuff to be honest. I would be more interested in demo's, recorded prior to the albums.
It seems Communique was recorded in its entirety in London for instance; would loooove to hear that!
The release of the Charlie Gillet demo on Record store day was a great move.

Proper solo blu-ray, Madrid or the Jools Holland show.

oh, add to that (but highly unlikely) a biography written by M.Knopfler.

Exactly! But I would like to request CD version.

I think writing a book is a perfect idea for an old man, if you can't and don't want to tour and travel all the time anymore, why not write a few words each day, and after a couple of years, it would translate into a book full of stories.

Mark could do it, judging by his efforts on the British Grove Broadcast, where if you count it, he spoke for a whole 3 hours in 24 episodes, it's a lot of stories and thoughts.

As a man who made himself, I think Mark should've written a biography 50 years ago, let alone now. It would be a masterclass on optimism. UPD: His songs are already such a masterclass tho.

It's all true. But Mark won't do that. I don't know, but it's not his style.

Never thought he would do a tv show with Brian Johnson so why not wright a book??
