Dire Straits - Alchemy


Alchemy was recorded at the last two concerts of Dire Straits' Love Over Gold tour at the Hammersmith Odeon in July 1983, and here we have the two songs that made up side 3 of the vinyl release - Two Young Lovers (from the ExtendedancEPlay EP), and Tunnel Of Love (from Making Movies). This last track is preceded by an unnamed instrumental featuring Mel Collin's sax playing. It was originally heard on their 1981 tour and on Alchemy it was faded in from the end of Portobello Belle (not included on the album).
