Brothers In Arms 40th Anniversary

On 16th May ’25, to mark the 40th anniversary of its original release on 17th May ’85, the UMC/EMI label will reissue Dire Straits’ landmark album Brothers In Arms, one of the biggest selling albums in history.

Dire Straits’ Brothers In Arms (40th Anniversary Edition) will be available in single LP vinyl, 5LP Deluxe and 3CD Deluxe editions as well as a super-deluxe-edition Blu Ray disc.

The vinyl 1LP of Brothers In Arms (40th Anniversary edition), re-issued in this configuration for the first time since 1985, is identical to the original pressing where tracks ‘So Far Away’, ‘Money For Nothing’, ‘Your Latest Trick’ and ‘Why Worry’ were abridged to fit the audio limitations of the vinyl format. The 5LP and 3CD Deluxe versions include the album tracks in their entirety and a previously unreleased full-length live concert from the band’s Municipal Auditorium, San Antonio show on the band’s Live In 85 Tour. The tour ran to a total of 248 gigs (including Live Aid in London) in 117 cities. It was seen by over two and a half million people. The Deluxe editions include a 16-page booklet featuring new liner notes by Paul Sexton, with new interviews with band members Mark Knopfler, John Illsley and Guy Fletcher, and come with exclusive art cards. A superdeluxeedition.com Blu-ray, an audiophile’s dream, is also released as part of the 40th anniversary. This exclusive single disc audio format features the 2023 Dolby Atmos Mix, 2023 Dolby Atmos Mix Instrumentals, 2005 5.1 mix, CD version stereo mix and 1985 vinyl version stereo mix and a booklet with exclusive liner notes by Guy Fletcher.
