Before I could get the CD, this was the only way to get the "full length" version. This song was was edited down to just 7:04 on the LP version at the time.

This item is a FAKE-Picture disc, not genuine record by Dire Straits. Possibly made in Israel, because an Israel trader offered some of that picture-discs, also from other bands, for ridiculous prices. So be aware of that pic-disc. It is not the real deal.

As far as i know, this is an extremely rare and collectable item. This one is "silver" disc and seems to be much rarer than the "golden" disc edition. Made in Germany but probably for the US maket, as it is in NTSC system.

This is an exceptionally dynamic recording. A good disc with which to impress friends and neighbors (if that's your thing)!
