Dire straits brothers in arms mofi vinyl.

One of the world s best selling records a winner of two grammy awards an era defining reference statement an mtv favorite and a set that catapulted an already acclaimed band to arena status dire straits brothers in arms is the kind of epic spectacular that comes around only once or twice a decade. This pressing is by far the best vinyl i purchased in a decade. There are hit records. Dire straits arresting self titled debut arrived in the midst of punk s reign but couldn t have been further removed from the era s slash and burn style.

Honestly i even considered it as overrated until i listened to this outstanding 180g 45rpm 2lp edition. The songs production and detail are excellent and mofi have done an excellent job with the source material to give vinyl that is crisp punchy and dynamic. Recorded in west london in february 1978 the band s tasteful jazz inflected set embraces folk blues and pub rock while also tracing a direct line back to the beat oriented sound of early. And then there are blockbusters.
