DIRE STRAITS : Live 1978-1992  : 2023 12LP Vinyl Boxset.

Live 1978-1992 focuses on the live recordings of Dire Straits.


This contains four main concerts (or live albums): Alchemy (1983), On The Night (1993), the Live at the BBC compilation from 1995 and Live from the Rainbow Theatre, a 1979 gig which is previously unreleased.

Alchemy and On The Night are both newly remastered, with neither having been available on vinyl for ages. Alchemy is expanded to 3LPs and includes ‘Love Over Gold’ and the extended versions of ‘Telegraph Road’, ‘Solid Rock’ and ‘Going Home’, with the addition of the full length version of ‘Portobello Belle’ (an edit of which is on the 1988 Money For Nothing compilation). ‘Industrial Disease’ and ‘Twisting By The Pool’

On The Night is also expanded to include tracks performed during the tour which have never been released, taken from multitrack recordings of shows in Nimes, Rotterdam and Paris. The seven extra tracks are: ‘Tunnel Of Love, ‘Telegraph Road’, ‘Sultans Of Swing’, ‘Two Young Lovers’, ‘When it Comes To You’, ‘I Think I Love You Too Much’ and ‘Fade to Black’.

The On The Night ‘Encores EP‘ (which was issued on CD and vinyl back in 1993) is included with the same four tracks as before, although this new box uses the Black Friday 2021 remastering. Despite On The Night and the Encores release being issued in 1993, the performances and recordings were made in 1992, hence the 1978-1992 box set title is accurate!

The Live at the BBC selection features the same eight tracks on the 1995 release, seven of which are from a July 1978 BBC ‘In Concert’ performance, although Tunnel of Love is taken from a January 1981 Old Grey Whistle Test.

Finally, the Live from the Rainbow Theatre show from 1979 has been newly mixed by Guy Fletcher and features guest performances from Phil Lynott and Tony de Meur on the last four tracks of the set.

The box set comes with a booklet featuring a new essay by Paul Sexton, with the alliterative title: ‘Making Milestones: The Momentous Road Years Of Dire Straits’.

Info:

- Most auctions end around 8 - 8.30pm and I post on my way to work the following morning, around 7.00am. Please try to pay once the auction ends then I can post the following day, otherwise it will fall into the post for the day after. 

- eBay tells you an item is dispatched once I print the postage label. This is clearly incorrect but it's the way eBay works. 


Any questions, please ask. Many thanks

UK only, sorry.
