Dire Straits Box Set Vinyl Review

I can still remember my favorite record shop owner playing it for me.

Dire straits box set vinyl review.

That s the way you do it. It hit the synapses in all the right sequence. Well pressed 180g vinyl the mastering is as good as the original release. Dire straits 1978 communiqué 1979 making movies 1980 love over gold 1982 brothers in arms 1985 and on.

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. It is a shame alchemy and the ep isn t included. I am pleased with the quality of the sound when the pressing is good. 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. 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. Extremely quiet and the music shine through. 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. Dire straits studio discography will be released as a box set this fall.
