Artist: DIRE STRAITS</br>genre: Popular Music</br>product type: Compact Disc</br>Release Date: 10-NOV-1998</br>Returns Accepted?: Yes</br></br>Product Description</br></br>Knopfler & Co. have never sounded so good-this 20-bit remastered 16-track anthology features the breakthrough-hit title track; their 1985 #1 smash?? Money for Nothing ?? plus So Far Away; Walk of Life; Love over Gold (live); Twisting by the Pool; Romeo and Juliet; Lady Writer; Wild Theme-Theme from Local Hero ?? and more by one of rock's great guitar bands.</br></br>Amazon.com</br></br>This compilation repeats seven tracks from 1988's <i>Money For Nothing</i> anthology. Given that Mark Knopfler and crew have recorded one new album during the decade between best-of collections?? how different could <i>Sultans of Swing</i> be? For one thing?? CD dominance has made for longer compilations?? and this one is fleshed out by singles?? three tracks from 1991's <i>On Every Street</i>?? and Knopfler's solo "ro" theme?? performed live. More importantly?? the second track here is the band's terrific second single?? "y Writer??"previously only available on the otherwise dismal <i>Communiqu?</i> LP. Five tracks from Dire Straits' huge <i>Brothers in Arms</i> LP appear here?? but only two tracks surface from <i>Making Movies</i>?? the group's pinnacle achievement. Ultimately?? if you own <i>Making Movies</i> and this compilation?? you own the essential Dire Straits. <i>--Bill Holdship</i></br><br/>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000DGUY  a perfect
