Pure Genius
Fine song writing in the balladeer tradition, mixed with sublime musicianship, this is a 'must have' for all true music enthusiasts. Mark is one of the defining artists of out time, from Dire Straits to now, he has remained an incomparable talent.


Buy One Take Radio Sessions instead
Those two songs are not included on this disc. The previous reviewer appears to actually be reviewing a disc titled
"One Take Radio Sessions" which has all of the songs here plus Rudiger and
Everybody Pays. Buy One Take Radio Sessions and get more songs for less money. This one appears to be an EU release that shorted the European fans compared to what the US got.


Great Alternate Takes From Shangri-La!
It contains alternate takes from "Shangri-La" (plus "Rudiger" from "Golden Heart"). This is a great EP for Knopfler fans. This is a more relaxed Knopfler than you may be used to. It isn't that he isn't polished (he can't help himself but be incredible); it's just a very laid back recording. I am especially fond of Chad Cromwell's drumming here, especially on "Song For Sonny Liston. "

The standouts here are "Song For Sonny Liston," "Boom, Like That," "Everybody Pays," and "Stand Up Guy. " I think I actually prefer these versions of "Song For Sonny Liston" and "Boom, Like That" to the ones from "Shangri-La," and that is truly saying something.

If you like the Music of Mark Knopfler, this will be a welcome, unique, and wonderful addition to your collection.
