DIRE STRAITS Brothers In Arms (A true milestone in music history - this rare 1985 CD single marks the world's first-ever commercial CD single release, and remains one of the most sought-after early digital format collectibles. Released by Philips and pressed in West Germany for the UK market, this special edition includes four tracks, presented in a standard jewel case with album-style artwork. Notably limited in quantity - with speculation pointing to only 200 to 400 copies ever produced - this pressing is a genuine artefact of both Dire Straits' legacy and digital audio history. This first variant has the blue triangle motif printed on the front cover stating PHILIPS COMPACT DISC PRESENTS dIRE sTRAITS Live in 85. A second variant states Live in 86. The disc and cover artwork inserts remain in near mint condition!).
