Overview

• The 40th anniversary Deluxe edition of 'Brothers In Arms' includes five LPs or three CDs, featuring a previously unreleased 1985 Texas concert and new liner notes.
• Originally recorded in George Martin's Air Studios on Montserrat, the album's production faced challenges such as faulty digital tapes and a drummer replacement.
• Session drummer Omar Hakim re-recorded drum tracks in just three days after technical issues rendered the original recordings unusable.
• The album became the first to sell over one million copies on CD, driven by its exceptional sound quality and use in demonstrating CD players.
• Montserrat's Air Studios, where the album was recorded, was later destroyed by a hurricane in 1989 and a volcanic eruption in the 1990s, adding a poignant layer to its legacy.
