Dire Straits – Dire Straits (Numbered 45Rpm Vinyl 2LP)

$92.00

180-gram 45 RPM double LP set pressed at RTI!

Dire Straits’ arresting self-titled debut embraces folk, blues and pub rock + early rock ‘n’ roll

Mofi reissue sports natural tones, superb balances, reference imaging and sterling clarity

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. 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 rock n’ roll. Country and roots accents further distinguish the British quartet’s stripped-down music from any 1970s peers, as does the transparent production, which has remained revered among audiophiles the world over — and which has never been better than on this meticulous analog pressing.

Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity’s 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP version of Dire Straits features natural tonalities, superb balances, you-are-there imaging, deep-black backgrounds, and pristine clarity. Even if you’ve heard this album hundreds of times before, you’ve never experienced it with such lifelike sonics and premium richness. This numbered-edition collector’s set immerses you within the smoky, laidback atmospherics of every song. This is how all vinyl should sound.
