Sultans of Swing: Studio version vocals alone, karaoke track, plus the last seconds – unheard before
Posted in: Misc,MK guitar style and licks by Ingo on December 13, 2009
Found a link in the amarkintime forum today to three audio clips of Sultans of Swing: a) complete b) only vocals (!!), and c) without vocals. Those tracks must be made from the original multitrack recording, and they are even a few seconds longer than what is one the CD. No fade out – instead another lick unheard before.
I have no idea yet where these come from, but very cool!
complete:
vocals only:
backing track (karaoke):
What a treat, thanks very much! The Unfaded Version is very interesting and the vocals-only version is hilarious. Funny thing, after every line I can hear the corresponding guitar lick in my head, guess that’s what happens when you’ve heard a song so many times

I think this is from Guitar Hero game.
Comment by Ville — 14. December 2009 @ 15:50
Yeah, from the guitar hero. There’s also the solo guitar track available…
Comment by Olli — 14. December 2009 @ 18:31
Really? I must have the lead guitar, where can I get it from??
Comment by Ingo — 14. December 2009 @ 18:49
I think that Olli knows where to get it
It would be very informative to hear.

Thank you, Olli !!!!!!!!!!

guitar track : wooowwww !
We can now say for sure that it is only middle pickup, no ? I can’t hear any out of phase sound there.
But I can hear much the chorus (from the Roland ?) at 2:28 and 3:13

Pingback by Sensational: Sultans of Swing guitar track solo – without backing tracks – from Guitar Hero 5 | Mark Knopfler Guitar / More Knowledge about the guitar — 15. December 2009 @ 20:23
The track with vocal only make me think very strange :
have you already thought of Mark standing in the stuido, without guitar, and only singing ?!
Of course, I’ve seen pictures of recent recordings on GF diaries, and I’ve seen the Time in the Sun backing vocals on the DVD; but when I think of Mark in the 77-79 period, I see him with a guitar, singin AND playing, I can’t see him only singing, while listening to the backing tracks in his headphones…it’so “unreal”
so this tracks are “sensationnal” like Ingo says, but, I wonder if it doesn’t spoiled the magic that we all have build in our heads during this decades….
