This October, Mark Knopfler’s first five studio albums will be issued as The Studio Albums 1996-2007 as 6CD set of an 11LP vinyl box.
The albums included are: Golden Heart (1996), Sailing To Philadelphia (2000), The Ragpicker’s Dream (2002), Shangri-La (2004), and Kill To Get Crimson (2007) – and both sets include an exclusive bonus disc of studio b-sides from this period: Gravy Train: The B-Sides 1996-2007. Neither Golden Heart nor Sailing To Philadelphia have been released on vinyl before.
The audio of each album has been newly remastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. The albums are pressed on 180g black vinyl and the box set includes six embossed art prints of each album cover. The CD box gets the ‘mini-me’ treatment of this and comes with six art cards.
The Studio Albums 1996-2007 will be released on 1 October 2021 via UMC/Mercury. SDE Members can use the ratings tool at the top to offer feedback on the CD box set.
