Danielle Steel Books. In 1985, Vertigo, a sub-label of Phonogram, issued the world’s first CD single in Europe to promote the landmark Dire Straits album Brothers in Arms and the resulting world concert tour. The four-track single featured long and short versions of the album’s title track, a portion of “Why Worry” from Brothers in Arms, and “Going Home”, a solo hit by Mark Knopfler.
This CD single was released in conjuction with the concert tour’s sponsor, Philips, a co-inventor of the CD format with Sony. The “Brothers in Arms” CD single was pressed in West Germany by Polygram and was released under Vertigo catalog number 884 285-2. Two variations of the CD single were released. The variations are marked by a subtle difference on the front cover.
