A polished, digital-era blockbuster of immaculate guitar and 'Money for Nothing'. Slick and enormous. A CD-era landmark. Released in 1985, it's one of Dire Straits's later high points.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
