    One of my favorites that gets regular rotation over the years. Respectable recording and very cool music.

    Actually, upon further.... investigation. It turns out the base player, Juna Serita, has a bit of a following.

    One of my favorites. Well recorded, and if I remember correctly there’s a video on the recording out there in one of the diaries of Knopfler’s keyboard player. I’ll try to look it up. Knopfler totally rebuilt some vintage Ampex tape machines and uses vintage tube microphones, etc.

    Ah, I did not know that. I will have to look and find that video. Too cool, but Mark is just like that. He is one of the few artists that go through extreme lengths to pick the best musicians within their respective fields and the best recording techniques.

    Wasn't he one of the ones (or the first one) to go all DDD on their CD? IIRC, it was the Brothers in Arms album. - NOPE, I checked - From Wikipedia - September 5, 1982: Peter Gabriel releases his fourth studio album (titled Security in North America and Peter Gabriel IV elsewhere). When released on CD in October 1984 it becomes the first full-digital DDD release.

    Further Wikipedia notes - Brothers in Arms was one of the first albums recorded on a Sony 24-track digital tape machine. The decision to move to digital recording came from Knopfler's constant striving for better sound quality. "One of the things that I totally respected about him," Dorfsman observed, "was his interest in technology as a means of improving his music. He was always willing to spend on high-quality equipment."

    What amazes me is that, in the era or ear piercing CD's? Mark was able to co-produce and album that even today, sounds incredible and is a FAR cry from the earlier CD's released to the American market. This is one album I must have 7 or 8 copies of in all sorts of different formats. Possibly more.

    Tom, google Guy Fletcher recording studio diaries. The analog tape machines Mark rebuilt were Studer not Ampex it appears. Extremely interesting diaries. Guy does diaries for every tour as well. He’s been with Mark for decades. Mark is incredible you will not regret reading these diaries. Don

    Just listened to Theme For An Imaginary Western from the Cincinnati Pop Festival June 13, 1970. Felix Pappalardi was born 80 years ago today. At age 43, he was “accidentally” shot and killed by his wife

    I purchased this off of Amazon a few years ago. I didn’t need it but red vinyl sucked me in.

    PEG was especially musical. I played that song twice.
