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.

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. Well pressed 180g vinyl the mastering is as good as the original release. The last song had a circular defect about the size of a eraser on the top of a pencil. In my first set brother in arms had multiple scratches and communique was awesome until the last song of side 2.

I am pleased with the quality of the sound when the pressing is good. Extremely quiet and the music shine through. It hit the synapses in all the right sequence. In 1978 dire straits arrived with a magnificent self titled first album.

Have lusted for this box set since it came out. The slide guitar on water of love is what gives vinyl value. 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 is a shame alchemy and the ep isn t included.

The aptly named the studio albums 1978 1991 will be released by virgin umc in europe and warner rhino in the u s. That s the way you do it. It contains the band s six original albums.
