To be honest, I really like this set. It’s decent quality and great quality for under £17. The remasters, while not new are superb sound quality. Also the sleeves are designed to open up therefore protecting the disc, by pushing against the top and bottom edges👍

My biggest complaint for this box set is the missing EP and Alchemy. I know it's studio albums, but the EP is technically a studio album and Alchemy... it's a great release that should have gotten some love here. For the price, though, it seems nice. But I'd pay extra for the two missing albums and a bonus disc of maybe single edits and outtakes or something. And maybe an upgrade in mastering. Now, saying all of that, maybe I'm thinking of a different product all together.

Im so agree with you. I dont know why ExtendedancEPlay never was released on cd (ok there are one us version and one uk version, but its very difficult to find them). And I dont Know why DS never released Deluxe Editions with demos and extra tracks like Bernadette and In my Car.

Technically the EP is not a studio album. This box set is exactly what it says it is. The live albums now have their own box set so that answers the complaints on the Alchemy front...

Is it too much to ask that they put the discs in a protective sleeve? Sliding in and out of those cardboard sleeves is just going to have the disc covered in fine scratches and those cardboard sleeves won't last long, they look like they're already splitting in this unboxing video.

Would of been good if it had new remastering. The 96 remasters do sound great. But new technology has improved in the last 20 odd years. None the less i will still purchase these compact discs.

I bought it 2 years ago but the West German originals still sound better. The discs are boring but BIA is a picture disc!!! The 1996 remasters are old hat now! I’d say it’s only a matter of time before a new CD remastering program is released with bonus tracks. Dire Straits are still valid and I prefer Marks playing back then a lot more than I do now even though he’s much more complex and creative. On Every Street has a terrible album cover! A bonus disc could have been compiled with Sultans Of Swing (single version), Eastbound Train, Where Do You Think You’re Going (alternate take), Badges, Posters, Stickers, Tee Shirts, Twisting By The Pool, Two Young Lovers, If I Had You, Portobello Belle (live), I think I Love You Too Much, Millionaire Blues and Kingdom Come. It’s a pity as it looks like a “get em out by Friday job” to me just to sell the lot in one box. Fans will have them all anyway. Alchemy should have been here along with On The Night. Now on the other hand, The Police CD box sounds incredible.

so its not remastered, plus the brothers in arms 20th anniversary is remastered to a high level, you can buy a lot of the dire straits albums in charity shops for one pound, i was lucky in the beginning of the year i bought the original dire straits cds that came out in 1983 for one pound each, this is a rip off, because there is no live music at the moment the music business is releasing a load of box sets

Indeed a waste of money if this is the 96 remaster. The original 80s cd's sound better for no money. The japanese sacd's and mofi sacd's are also way better. I also got the mqa-cd's of certain albums. I thought they would use the masters from the vinyl reissues (eventually slightly modified for digital). A joke they used the worst available master for this reissue. Labels don't give a ... about their loyal customers.
