Dire Straits Box Set Vinyl Review

Have lusted for this box set since it came out.

Dire straits box set vinyl review. The slide guitar on water of love is what gives vinyl value. I can still remember my favorite record shop owner playing it for me. 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. I am pleased with the quality of the sound when the pressing is good.

Well pressed 180g vinyl the mastering is as good as the original release. In 1978 dire straits arrived with a magnificent self titled first album. 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.

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. In my first set brother in arms had multiple scratches and communique was awesome until the last song of side 2. The aptly named the studio albums 1978 1991 will be released by virgin umc in europe and warner rhino in the u s. That s the way you do it.

The last song had a circular defect about the size of a eraser on the top of a pencil. Extremely quiet and the music shine through. It hit the synapses in all the right sequence.
