Additional comments Official interview, recorded in 1985. Taken from the very rare 12 inch promo from Canada, issued exclusively to radio and other media. Before the Brothers in arms world tour of 1985/1986, Mark Knopfler spoke to Paul Gambaccini, about the album Brothers in arms, the forthcoming world tour, the new compact disc technology and his recent solo projects. This 12 inch promo contains most of this interview. It's a rare limited edition, comes complete with a transcript of the interview, issued by Vertigo. The interview is cut into 9 parts, just like on the official transcript that came with the LP. Very nice interview, a great insight into the album and Mark's views of the world tour.
