Box set focusing on Mark Knopfler's last four solo albums due in October

A new box set featuring remastered versions of former Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler's four most recent solo studio albums, plus a disc of bonus songs, will be released on October 7 as a six-CD set, a nine-LP vinyl collection and on digital formats.

Mark Knopfler: The Studio Albums 2009-2018, which can be preordered now, includes 2009's Get Lucky, 2012's Privateering, 2015's Tracker and 2018's Down the Road Wherever. It also features the companion compilation Back in the Day: The Bonus Tracks 2009-2018, which includes studio B-sides and bonus tracks, as well as two previously unreleased songs from the Down the Road Wherever era -- "Back in the Day" and "Precious Voice from Heaven."

Three tracks from the rarities compilation -- "Back in the Day," "Don't Suck Me In" and "Sky and Water" -- are available now as advance digital tracks.

The vinyl box set will feature two LP versions of Get Lucky, Privateering, Tracker and Down the Road Wherever, plus the single-disc Back in the Day, all pressed on 180-gram vinyl. The collection also will come with five embossed prints of the cover art of each album.

Get Lucky, Privateering, Tracker and Down the Road Wherever peaked at #17, #65, #14 and #15, respectively, on the Billboard 200.

The upcoming box set is the follow-up to the Mark Knopfler: The Studio Albums 1996-2007 collection, which focused on Mark's first five solo albums and was released in the U.S. in April.
