Dire Straits - Alchemy
£10.99
There is an interesting contrast on this 94-minute double-disc live album (recorded at London's Hammersmith Odeon in July 1983) between the music, much of which is slow & moody, with Mark Knopfler's muttered vocals & large helpings of his fingerpicking on what sounds like an amplified Spanish guitar, & the audience response. The arena-size crowd cheers wildly, & claps & sings along when given half a chance, as though each song were an up-tempo rocker. When they do have a song of even m ...

Dire Straits -
Brothers In Arms: 20th
Anniversary (SACD)
£12.99
Few groups can claim to be synonymous with a lifestyle, but Dire Straits are an exception, whether they like it or not. Brothers In Arms, released in 1985, established them as the first real darlings of the compact disc 20-something generation that grew out of the boom years of the 80s. Their accessible, traditional blues-based music made them perfect for the massive, mature, relatively wealthy strata of the public that likes its music tightly performed & readily digestible. The album was 1 i ...

Dire Straits - Dire
Straits
£6.49
Led by former music journalist/college professor Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits emerged with their melancholy self-titled debut amidst the clatter of punk & gloss of disco. With a laid-back, raspy style of singing & distinctive finger-picking style of guitar playing, Knopfler came across as a fusion of J.J. Cale, Bob Dylan, & Chet Atkins. Coming out of the pub-rock scene, this tight English quartet cracked both sides of the Atlantic with the insanely catchy " Sultans Of Swing." The group furth ...

Dire Straits - On
Every Street
£6.49
In the six-year hiatus between BROTHERS IN ARMS & ON EVERY STREET, Mark Knopfler immersed himself in soundtrack work & occasional collaborations with other artists. Knopfler was always hugely influenced by country music, & his passion for this genre was predictably inflamed by winning a pair of 1990 Grammys for his work with Chet Atkins on NECK & NECK. This led to the Scottish guitarist reuniting Dire Straits for what would be the group's final studio album. With his trademark twangy guita ...

Dire Straits - Sultans
Of Swing - Very Best
Of
£8.49
Exactly ten years after Dire Straits' first compilation, Money for Nothing, appeared in the stores, their second, Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits, was released. Though a decade is a significant span of time, Dire Straits had released just two subsequent albums -- 1991's On Every Street & 1993's On the Night, a live album culled from tapes of the record's supporting tour. Not quite enough material for a new greatest-hits album, but it had been years since Dire Straits had releas ...

Dire Straits - Live At The BBC

Always a quiet act, Dire Straits dissolved quietly in 1995 as Mark Knopfler prepared his first full-fledged solo album. Meanwhile, this documentary effort, the group's third live recording, appeared to chronicle their early days. Most of it was recorded in July 1978, so it is in effect a concert version of the self-titled debut album. Tacked on at the end is a 12-minute version of "Tunnel of Love" from 1981, bringing the total time to 46 minutes. It's a modest effort from a modest band and, in t
