{"product_id":"dire-straits-communique-cd","title":"Dire Straits – Communique (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased just a year after their self-titled debut made Mark Knopfler's fingerpicked Stratocaster tone one of the most distinctive sounds in rock, Communique doubled down on the band's unhurried, late-night grooves rather than chasing commercial pressure. Knopfler's storytelling instincts were already fully formed here, and the album remains an essential document of a band finding its own unhurried pace before Rumours of Glory arrived.\n\nWait, I need to correct that. Let me redo without that error.\n\nCommunique arrived in 1979 with the band deliberately resisting the pressure to capitalize on the breakout success of \"Sultans of Swing.\" Knopfler's guitar work is understated and precise, rooted in the same late-night, Southern-influenced feel that made the debut so arresting. For fans tracing the arc from those early London sessions to the blockbuster years, this is where you hear a band committed to doing things entirely on their own terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 603497846344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rhino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.22.21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Once Upon A Time In The West\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. News\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Where Do You Think You're Going?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Communiqué\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Lady Writer\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Angel Of Mercy\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Portobello Belle\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Single-Handed Sailor\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Follow Me Home\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48455525466267,"sku":"477011","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-dire-straits-communique-cd-relix.jpg?v=1777521416","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/dire-straits-communique-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
