Dire straits box set vinyl review.

I am pleased with the quality of the sound when the pressing is good. That s the way you do it. It hit the synapses in all the right sequence. Extremely quiet and the music shine through.

Have lusted for this box set since it came out. Well pressed 180g vinyl the mastering is as good as the original release. The slide guitar on water of love is what gives vinyl value. The last song had a circular defect about the size of a eraser on the top of a pencil.

It contains the band s six original albums. In 1978 dire straits arrived with a magnificent self titled first album. I can still remember my favorite record shop owner playing it for me. Dire straits 1978 communiqué 1979 making movies 1980 love over gold 1982 brothers in arms 1985 and on.

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