Dire Straits is the product of a group of blues rockers inspired by jazz and country. Mark Knopfler’s sparse guitar tones and hoarse, distinctive vocals are the driving force behind this debut album. Thanks to the hit single Sultans of Swing, the debut climbed straight into the top 10.
Shawn R. Britton remastered this hybrid SACD. The limited edition with a consecutive serial number appears in a mini LP cover with an enclosed 12-page booklet.
