COMMENTS

In December 1985 Dire Straits played a run of pre-Christmas shows at the Hammersmith Odeon, London UK - the venue where the officially released Alchemy set was recorded a couple of years before.
These Christmas 1985 shows are electric, and feature a number of special guests. On this show Eric Clapton and Hank Marvin feature.

This is a fresh 2019 transfer from a Mint copy of the 3 LP bootleg, called Cocaine. Some EQ and cleaning up undertaken to provide a solid sounding upgrade to any previous versions in circulation.
This version entitled 'Crack Cocaine' contrast purposes.
