Dire Straits Box Set Vinyl Review

It hit the synapses in all the right sequence.

Dire straits box set vinyl review.

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. It contains the band s six original albums. Extremely quiet and the music shine through. I can still remember my favorite record shop owner playing it for me.

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. It is a shame alchemy and the ep isn t included. Dire straits studio discography will be released as a box set this fall. I am pleased with the quality of the sound when the pressing is good.

That s the way you do it. Have lusted for this box set since it came out. Dire straits 1978 communiqué 1979 making movies 1980 love over gold 1982 brothers in arms 1985 and on. The slide guitar on water of love is what gives vinyl value.

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