comments J v Tol
The sound quality varies.
It has got better sound than the original silver pressed bootleg “Early demos”, corrected speed, better bass and other things has been remastered.
Contains rare songs for example.
Making movies (Demo)
Real girl and (Demo)
Solid rock (Demo)
Tunnel of Love (Demo)

It includes the first version of early Dire Straits songs.
