Dire straits box set vinyl review.

The last song had a circular defect about the size of a eraser on the top of a pencil. That s the way you do it. Dire straits 1978 communiqué 1979 making movies 1980 love over gold 1982 brothers in arms 1985 and on. It contains the band s six original albums.

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. 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. It hit the synapses in all the right sequence. Extremely quiet and the music shine through.

The slide guitar on water of love is what gives vinyl value. Dire straits studio discography will be released as a box set this fall. It is a shame alchemy and the ep isn t included. Also on october 9 umc virgin will release a repressing of the hugely popular eight lp vinyl box set of 2013 also titled dire straits the studio albums 1978 1991.

I am pleased with the quality of the sound when the pressing is good. Well pressed 180g vinyl the mastering is as good as the original release. Have lusted for this box set since it came out.
