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.

Dire straits box set vinyl review.

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. I am pleased with the quality of the sound when the pressing is good. I can still remember my favorite record shop owner playing it for me. 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. In my first set brother in arms had multiple scratches and communique was awesome until the last song of side 2. It is a shame alchemy and the ep isn t included. Have lusted for this box set since it came out.

That s the way you do it. It contains the band s six original albums. 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. Well pressed 180g vinyl the mastering is as good as the original release.

The aptly named the studio albums 1978 1991 will be released by virgin umc in europe and warner rhino in the u s. 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. Extremely quiet and the music shine through.
