Product Details

Mark Knopfler's fingerpicked Stratocaster tone is one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in rock, built without a pick and informed as much by Chet Atkins and J.J. Cale as by anything coming out of the late-70s British scene. Dire Straits arrived fully formed, and this remastered collection traces the arc from their scrappy Deptford origins to the stadium-filling era of "Brothers in Arms."

Driven by the cinematic songwriting and superb guitar playing of Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits is one of rock's most successful bands. This new 20-bit remastered anthology takes in everything from the title track (the band's 1st hit, from their 1978 debut LP) through such classics as "Romeo And Juliet" and "Money for Nothing," plus the band's epic live rendition of "Love Over Gold" and "Wild Theme - Theme from Local Hero," from Knopfler's acclaimed movie score.
