Dire straits box set vinyl review.

You could tell it was the end of the road for dire straits with the final album but mark knopfler s solo albums and tours show he made a smart move in mothballing dire straits. It contains the band s six original albums. Dire straits studio discography will be released as a box set this fall. Dire straits 1978 communiqué 1979 making movies 1980 love over gold 1982 brothers in arms 1985 and on.

The aptly named the studio albums 1978 1991 will be released by virgin umc in europe and warner rhino in the u s. Have lusted for this box set since it came out. In my first set brother in arms had multiple scratches and communique was awesome until the last song of side 2. It hit the synapses in all the right sequence.

The slide guitar on water of love is what gives vinyl value. The music needs no introduction dire straits came to power with this debut album with a wide range of well recorded songs that makes this an album to own. In 1978 dire straits arrived with a magnificent self titled first album. That s the way you do it.

I am pleased with the quality of the sound when the pressing is good. I can still remember my favorite record shop owner playing it for me. Extremely quiet and the music shine through.
