One of the world’s best-selling albums, Dire Straits’ Brothers In Arms, celebrates its 40th anniversary with a 1LP pressing, and an exquisite 5LP or 3CD deluxe edition release.
Re-issued in this configuration for the first time since 1985, the single-sleeve 1LP mirrors the original pressing where tracks ‘So Far Away’,’ Money For Nothing’, ‘Your Latest Trick’ and ‘Why Worry’ were abridged to fit the vinyl format. Brothers In Arms spent 14 non-consecutive weeks at Number 1 in the UK Albums Chart and is the 8th best-selling album in UK chart history.
The 5LP and 3CD deluxe boxsets feature the full studio album and a previously unreleased full-length live concert from the band’s Municipal Auditorium, San Antonio tour stop in 1985. The Live In 85 Tour ran a total of 248 gigs in 117 cities and was seen by over two and a half million people.
Housed in a slip-case featuring art inspired by Mark’s National Style ‘O’ Resonator Guitar, seen on the cover of the studio album, the deluxe version includes a 16-page booklet featuring new liner notes, written by Paul Sexton, following new interviews with band members Mark Knopfler, John Illsley and Guy Fletcher, and come with exclusive art prints. Featuring singles ‘Money For Nothing’ and ‘Walk Of Life’, Brothers In Arms spent 14 non-consecutive weeks at Number 1 in the UK Albums Chart and is the 8th best-selling album in UK chart history.
