Mark Knopfler collection set for October release
By Classic Pop | August 2, 2022
Mark Knopfler – The Studio Albums 2009-2018, a 9 LP vinyl/6 CD boxset & digital SD/HD, will be released on 7 October by UMC/EMI, gathering together the second half of the Dire Straits’ frontman’s solo songbook with his more recent studio albums, to add to last year’s ’96 – 2007 collection.
The box will include Get Lucky (2009), Privateering (2012), Tracker (2015) and his latest release Down The Road Wherever (2018) plus a collection of studio b-sides and bonus tracks and two previously unreleased songs – ‘Back In The Day’ and ‘Precious Voice From Heaven’. The audio quality has been overseen by the original mastering engineer Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering, while vinyl was cut by Bernie Grundman.
Mark Knopfler – The Studio Albums 2009-2018 will be available in two physical formats – 9LP and 6CD – and a digital equivalent in both SD and HD. You can pre-order the boxset here.
