Dire straits arresting self titled debut arrived in the midst of punk s reign but couldn t have been further removed from the era s slash and burn style.
Dire straits brothers in arms mofi vinyl.
Dire straits biggest selling album in fact one of the biggest selling albums worldwide of all time 1985 s brothers in arms helped musically define a decade.
Honestly i even considered it as overrated until i listened to this outstanding 180g 45rpm 2lp edition.
And then there are blockbusters.
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.
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.
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.
A sophisticated rock masterpiece it reached 1 stayed there nine weeks and is nine times platinum.
This pressing is by far the best vinyl i purchased in a decade.
