RSD 2024 EP The Boy

[milicz]

If you're a Dire Straits/Knopfler fan you owe it to yourself to have a turntable.

I've been a DS/MK fan for 36 years, and I have never owned a turntable.
May I remind you that DS started the CD revolution with Brothers in Arms in 1985...

Listening to songs for the first time on vinyl is an experience that satisfies my soul.

[Robson]

When The Beatles released the Let It Be single in 1970 it contained a quirky little B-side that hardly anyone heard until the 1987 CD Pastmaster releases on CD. Those 17 years of not being able to hear a song I didn't know about, in a format of my choice, were the worst of my life. Even badderer, I couldn't afford a CD player until 1990 so an agonising 17 years was actually increased to 20. The Beatles are not the only ones to participate in great injustice. I never even heard Badges, Sticker & Postcards until I joined AMIT (which I believe is still not officially available digitally?).
We truly live in a golden age of knowing every setlist every night & then demanding it be changed. Knowing of every bonus b-side & being outraged that we can't hear it immediately. We even have the good fortune to know that people on AMIT with the conversion technology will help out but the undercurrent of pain & inability to be patient causes stress and whining. Are we happier?

Badges is on spotify.

And on ExtendedancEPlay

That's true. I bought this EP in Chicago. I was happy like a child.

I just can't stop listening to All Comers! It's sublime and I love the GL-vibe! Might be in my Top 10 of MK's solo songs.

Read up on articles about Ron Taylor's boxing booths in Britain. Fascinating stuff.

So the opening chord in Mr Solomon's Said is a chromatic run on Bb-aug? Where's Pavel when you need him?

May I ask if it is possible to create an own board for "The Boy" with single threads for all four tracks?  At least to me, it it a release on its own, apart from coming from the same sessions, there is no other relation to One Deep River. 

What all these four songs have in common, they are much more "elaborated", much more composed, much more the usual MK so to say. I am sure there is much to talk about.

I say just create single threads rather than a whole new board. They are all from the ODR sessions.
