Additional comments:
Back in 1991, just before the Dire Straits concerts in Rotterdam Ahoy took
place, Dutch Radio 3 broadcasted a Dire Straits special, devided over four
weeks. Each broadcast was one hour long and it told the story from the beginning
of Dire Straits until the release of the On Every Street album. On this show,
they also had a world premiere by broadcasting two tracks (Planet of New Orleans
and On every Street) from the album that still had to be released by that time.
In between the story told by the Dutch reporter (Hans Schiffers), various studio tracks have been played. Since this is all
official material, these tracks are edited out on this CD. Perfect sound
quality. Personally, I have very good memories about this radio special since I
was one of the very lucky winners of a competition and won two Dire Straits
tickets for Ahoy, 28th September 1991. That was also the first time I saw Dire
Straits live, awesome show!! Available on one CD-R.
