However when compared to other dire straits albums this one clearly betrays its digital heritage on my very revealing system.
Dire straits brothers in arms mofi vinyl.
And then there are blockbusters.
This pressing is by far the best vinyl i purchased in a decade.
Contrary to other dire straits recordings i didn t like the brothers in arms album very much in the past because of the mostly poor cd and lp pressings i listened to.
A sophisticated rock masterpiece it reached 1 stayed there nine weeks and is nine times platinum.
Recorded in west london in february 1978 the band s tasteful jazz inflected set embraces folk blues and pub rock while also tracing a direct line back to the beat oriented sound of early.
The songs production and detail are excellent and mofi have done an excellent job with the source material to give vinyl that is crisp punchy and dynamic.
There are hit records.
One of the world s best selling records a winner of two grammy awards an era defining reference statement an mtv favorite and a set that catapulted an already acclaimed band to arena status dire straits brothers in arms is the kind of epic spectacular that comes around only once or twice a decade.
