Comments on Dire Straits Re-mastered LPs?

Are there any Dire Straits fans enjoying the Re-Mastered first two LP's done by Bernie Grundman and pressed at Pallas in Germany? I honestly believe this is the best the first two albums have ever sounded! I own the Warner Brothers domestic copies and the Vertigo British copies of both and these are superior. The vinyl is dead quiet, the mix excellent and the dynamics the best I have heard. Check them out. I can't wait for the next ones.

I also agree that these new reissues are very fine indeed. I have the Japanese pressings too, they are quite nice.

Thanks Guys! I was wondering how they would be. It is sounding like they are worth the price.

I bought the first album since I didn't have a audiophile pressing of this title. I loved it so much I just received Commuique' (their best release in my opinion) and haven't played it yet but I will be getting Love Over Gold as well.
Haven't decided on Making Movies yet, that wasn't one of my fav's. But I think these are a great value and I hope they do more from other artists.

Theo- I think you're right that snagging Communique and Love Over Gold are the best bets. I for one loved Making Movies, but the mix was muddy and nowhere near the standard of the aforementioned masterpieces- in my opinion.

All Dire Straits LP's are digitally mastered. They sounded quite good and are cheap. What's the reason to go for the Reissues?
