Additional comments Mark Knopfler's seventh solo album Privateering is issued in various formats. This is the limited super deluxe box-set containing the 2CD album, the 2LP version, a CD with 3 studio bonus tracks, a DVD with the documentary A life in songs, numbered art print (I have number 5846) and a credit card with and exclusive download code to download the show from Madrid, Las Ventas Bullring, 29th July 2010. The documentary A life in songs is less complete compared to the one originally broadcasted on the BBC (see here: Mark Knopfler - A life in songs). A few parts are left out (some footage of Wembley 1985 for instance) and instead of that they added part of the Privateering EPK. The back of the box mentions that it holds a credit card with an exclusive code to download a full concert, but that turned out to be a bit misleading as you can download the Madrid 2010 show, but on which Mark Knopfler personally decided to leave out Telegraph road. Apart from that it's absolutely a great looking box!
