ExtendeDancEPlay EP was released by Dire Straits in 1982/1983 to accompany LOVE OVER GOLD LP and was never re-issued since then in any physical form.

A 7 inch 3-track version of it is now available on streaming serviices, but here is a rare Western German 12" 4-track release of that rock'n'roll dance masterpiece:

Thank you for this! Always wondered why the full EP was never released digitally...

Incidentally, the extra track on this version is available with the Private Investigations single on streaming services (where I assume it originally appeared).

As an aside, it's good to see record companies delving into the archives to make things like this available - even if it's only for streaming.
