One of the world’s best-selling albums, Dire Straits’ Brothers In Arms, celebrates its 40th anniversary with an exquisite 3CD deluxe edition release.


The 3CD deluxe box features 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 digi-sleeve featuring art inspired by Mark’s National Style ‘O’ Resonator Guitar, seen on the cover of the studio album, the deluxe version includes a 28-page booklet featuring new liner notes, written by Paul Sexton, following new interviews with band members Mark Knopfler, John Illsley and Guy Fletcher.


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.
