Dire Straits Box Set Vinyl Review

It is a shame alchemy and the ep isn t included.

Dire straits box set vinyl review.

Dire straits studio discography will be released as a box set this fall. Have lusted for this box set since it came out. In 1978 dire straits arrived with a magnificent self titled first album. That s the way you do it.

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. The aptly named the studio albums 1978 1991 will be released by virgin umc in europe and warner rhino in the u s. I can still remember my favorite record shop owner playing it for me. I am pleased with the quality of the sound when the pressing is good.

In my first set brother in arms had multiple scratches and communique was awesome until the last song of side 2. 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. The slide guitar on water of love is what gives vinyl value. It hit the synapses in all the right sequence.

Dire straits 1978 communiqué 1979 making movies 1980 love over gold 1982 brothers in arms 1985 and on. It contains the band s six original albums. Well pressed 180g vinyl the mastering is as good as the original release.
