Notes
This LP Reissue is preessed on 180 gram vinyl. Dire Straits seemed to be a band with no popular context when they recorded this sophomore outing. Their previous album's "Sultans of Swing" still hadn't charted and former schoolteacher Mark Knopfler, whose 30th birthday coincided with this album's release, still had little interest in mirroring the post-punk obsessions of late-'70s London. Oblivious to the changes that would soon take place (brother David leaving the band, compact discs resurrecting older rock consumers, and their own ascension to arena-rock status), the band continued to refine it's pub-rock aesthetic on this unpretentious set of melancholy rock tunes. Mark's talent for cynical character sketches is further developed on tracks like "Where Do You Think You're Going" and "News," while the presence of Jerry Wexler at the production helm ensures that the rest of the band keeps the rhythms tight. But the laid-back atmosphere of recording in the Bahamas seems to have had just as much influence, from the reggae lope of the opening "Once upon a Time in the West" to those waves crashing against the beach in the hypnotic album closer, "Follow Me Home." All in all, a solid effort from a band that probably had no idea what was just around the corner.

    Fast shipping, A++++++ seller! The vinyl records were expertly packaged and arrived safely. They came as shown in photos and match description. Condition was better than I expected. Even though I feel like used records are way more expensive than when I used to buy used 20 years ago, I’m super pleased with my purchase due to the quality of the packing, quick shipping, and surpassing my expectations. Looking forward to rebuilding my collection and hope to find more gems at Vinyl1615. Thanks!

    Pallas 180g Dire Straits remasters.

    These Dire straits Pallas pressings remastered from the original analog tapes by Bernie Grundman are THE ones to have outside of a mint UK 1st pressing. They are excellent in every way, and are highly recommended! I already have 3 in my collection and Making movies might be next. (Because sound matters) says it all really.
