Mark Knopfler's second solo album, Sailing to Philadelphia, is being reissued as this SDE exclusive blu-ray featuring a Dolby Atmos Mix.

Issued in September 2000, the 60-minute album includes purposeful lead single 'What It Is', the fine storytelling of the title track (a duet with James Taylor), 'The Last Laugh' which features additional vocals from Van Morrison and 'Silvertown Blues' (which was the third and final single from the album). It also features guest appearances from Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze.

The blu-ray features a Dolby Atmos Mix by Guy Fletcher, an exclusive instrumental version of the album, also in Atmos, as well as the original stereo mix. The album includes 14 songs, based on the original UK CD tracklisting, which featured 'Do America' (omitted from the International release) and 'One More Matinee' (missing from the US release).

Recorded in Nashville and produced by Knopfler and Chuck Ainlay, Sailing To Philadelphia reached the top of the album charts in Germany, Italy, Norway and Switzerland, number 4 in the UK official album charts, and is certified 2x platinum in Europe.
