| Additional comments |
Brothers in arms was the first ever
UK CD-single, reported as limited to 400 copies. Issued in 1985 to tie in with
the world tour (sponsored by Philips Compact Disc) and promote the Compact
Disc players by Philips. In 1986, another CD-single of Brothers in
arms was released and
strictly limited to 200 copies, if reports are to be believed. Both discs
are identical, right down to the catalogue
number (884 285-2). The only difference between the two is the Philips logo on
the front of the CD inlay and the 1986 version is slightly darker pink coloured.
As the picture below demonstrates, the Live in '86 has a coloured logo, and
the Live in '85 is simply blue and white. Jewel case.
