RSD 2024 EP The Boy

[Knopflerfan]

Forgot to mention All Comers! It kind of reminds me of a cross between Border Reiver and Early Bird, lovely track.

Yep that's it! Great tune!

What an absurd world ! 

Mark releases an inaccessible album.
Fans buy vinyl that they can't listen to.
Does music only belong to an elite ? 
 

Since the 60s the way people listen to music at home has evolved rapidly and (obviously) the people with the most money get the best equipment. However, there's no particular barrier to most people having a turntable and amp and being able to play records like everyone did up until the 80s. There is a obnoxious snobby culture on some websites where equipment is debated, but I recommend ignoring this and just grabbing a simple setup, enjoy it and upgrade as time passes by. Vinyl records are by no means for the "Elite".

Will the EP be available on Spotify?

My daughter, on her 17th birthday, went and queued up forcrecord store day. When she got in they told her they had 3 copies, all sold already. Damn. If anyone is able to be kind later with anything digital that would be wonderful.

Success!   Just arrived home.  I arrived at the record shop at 6.30 am.  Around 20 people ahead of me and after the doors opened at 8 am had another hour to wait until it was my turn.   It was very well run and great atmosphere in the queue.   A lady from the cafe opposite took orders!  I can't wait to listen now!

Sitting in the sun outside the store knowing my reservation was confirmed yesterday.

Would someone be kind enough to offer us a digitally extracted version?  not having a vinyl turntable it's extremely frustrating

8 posts and 6 of them have either been complaining about not having a turntable or asking for rips.

Absolutely worth 3hrs hanging around in the queue!

I've now sampled the three tracks I hadn't heard before and they are absolutely brilliant.
1) Mr Soloman Said - pretty, jazzy little number with some lovely guitar from MK
2) The Boy - not too far removed from Heart of Oak/Matchstick Man but a bit deeper in sound
4) bad Day For A Knife Thrower- a nice little track with beautiful acoustic guitar and some lovely electric guitar licks.

All in all I'm thrilled to own a copy and feel blooming happy!

Pleased for you too!   We had a great time in the queue chatting without mentioning what we were hoping for!
